#4981: Boost.Archive No Tracking does nothing
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter: jsternberg <jonathansternberg@…> | Owner: ramey

Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: serialization
  Version: Boost 1.45.0 | Severity: Problem
 Keywords: |

 I see from a very old e-mail that the no_tracking option for archives was
 planned:

 http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/03/81549.php

 And then I can see work was stopped. The author of this e-mail says it was
 for "multiple reasons he can't remember."

 http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/04/103291.php

 This feature would be very helpful for those who need to serialize a
 pointer off the stack. The attached code sample introduces a situation
 where the no_tracking option would be helpful.

 Attached is a patch that enabled the use of boost::archive::no_tracking as
 a flag for the archive.
