702,serializing empty vectors triggers STL assertion failure (VC,pintaric,Matthias Troyer,"{{{
Serializing empty vectors triggers an STL assertion
failure (VC++ 8.0).

Test case:
==========

typedef std::vector<int> vec_t;
vec_t v; // empty vector
{
  std::ofstream ofs(""test.dat"");
  boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs);
  oa << v; // triggers runtime assertion
}

The assertion is caused by line 31 in
serialization/detail/get_data.hpp (note that vector v
is empty):
[0031]  return &(v[0]);


Proposed fix:
=============

Index: oarchive.hpp
