[Boost-users] Question about memory management and Serialization

Hi folks,

When I unserialize an object that has pointers in it
(composite recursive structure), does boost
unserialize take care of allocating them on the heap? 
I assume it does, however...

I run a memory profiling tool call 'valgrind' and I on
purpose decided not to cleanup my newly created
serialized object.  What happened after running
through valgrind surprised me, it reported no memory
leaks.  Whats the magic here, smart pointers?

Thanks for any help,
Kauai
