6515	Serilaization of std::vector<bool> is broken for optimizing archives	Hartmut Kaiser	Robert Ramey	"Serializing a vector<bool> causes corruptions in the created archive. The reason is this function (in boost/serialization/vector.hpp):

{{{
template<class Archive, class U, class Allocator>
inline void save(
    Archive & ar,
    const std::vector<U, Allocator> &t,
    const unsigned int /* file_version */,
    mpl::true_
){
    const collection_size_type count(t.size());
    ar << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(count);
    if (!t.empty())
        ar << make_array(detail::get_data(t),t.size());
}
}}}

While detail::get_data(t) is not specialized for std::vector<bool> (but it should be), and t.size() returns the number of bits stored in the vector, which is probably not what's expected either.

I'm encountering this problem with MSVC10, 64bit, Windows7."	Bugs	assigned	To Be Determined	serialization	Boost 1.48.0	Problem
