 Hi,

 I get several warnings about const qualifiers for boost::archive and
 boost::serialization:

 {{{
 boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:57: warning: type qualifiers ignored on
 function return type
 boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:93: warning: type qualifiers ignored on
 function return type
 boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:130: warning: type qualifiers ignored on
 function return type
 boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:164: warning: type qualifiers ignored on
 function return type
 boost/serialization/collection_size_type.hpp
 }}}

 In all cases, the returned type is a built-in integral type. Thus, the
 const qualifier is obsolete and should be removed to get rid of the
 warning.

 Thanks and regards,

 Roland
