[section Header <boost/core/serialization.hpp>]

The header `<boost/core/serialization.hpp>` implements primitives
that are necessary to implement Boost.Serialization support without
including a Boost.Serialization header and thereby making a library
dependent on Boost.Serialization.

[section Synopsis]

``
#include <boost/core/nvp.hpp>

namespace boost
{
namespace serialization
{

// forward declarations

template<class T> struct version;
class access;

// core_version_type

struct core_version_type;

} // namespace serialization

namespace core
{

// nvp

using serialization::nvp;
using serialization::make_nvp;

// split_free

template<class Ar, class T> void split_free( Ar& ar, T& t, unsigned int v );

// split_member

template<class Ar, class T> void split_member( Ar& ar, T& t, unsigned int v );

// load_construct_data_adl

template<class Ar, class T> void load_construct_data_adl( Ar& ar, T* t, unsigned int v );

// save_construct_data_adl

template<class Ar, class T> void save_construct_data_adl( Ar& ar, T const* t, unsigned int v );

} // namespace core
} // namespace boost

[section `core_version_type`]

``
struct core_version_type
{
    unsigned int version_;

    core_version_type( unsigned int version ): version_( version ) {}
    operator unsigned int () const { return version_; }
};
``

`core_version_type` is a Core reimplementation of
`boost::serialization::version_type`, needed to call ADL serialization
primitives such as, for example, `load_construct_data` below.

It's defined in the `serialization` namespace instead of the `core`
namespace because its only purpose is to add `boost::serialization` to
the list of the associated namespaces of the corresponding call.

[section `split_free`]

`template<class Ar, class T> inline void split_free( Ar& ar, T& t, unsigned int v );`

`boost::core::split_free` is a Core reimplementation of
`boost::serialization::split_free`.

* *Effects:*
  * If `Ar::is_saving::value` is `true`, calls `save( ar, t, core_version_type( v ) )`;
  * Otherwise, calls `load( ar, t, core_version_type( v ) )`.

[endsect]

[section `split_member`]

`template<class Ar, class T> void split_member( Ar& ar, T& t, unsigned int v );`

`boost::core::split_member` is a Core reimplementation of
`boost::serialization::split_member`.

* *Effects:*
  * If `Ar::is_saving::value` is `true`, calls `t.save( ar, v )`;
  * Otherwise, calls `t.load( ar, v )`.

[endsect]

[section `load_construct_data_adl`]

`template<class Ar, class T> void load_construct_data_adl( Ar& ar, T* t, unsigned int v );`

`boost::core::load_construct_data_adl` is a Core reimplementation of
`boost::serialization::load_construct_data_adl`.

* *Effects:* `load_construct_data( ar, t, serialization::core_version_type( v ) );`.

[endsect]

[section `save_construct_data_adl`]

`template<class Ar, class T> void save_construct_data_adl( Ar& ar, T const* t, unsigned int v );`

`boost::core::save_construct_data_adl` is a Core reimplementation of
`boost::serialization::save_construct_data_adl`.

* *Effects:* `save_construct_data( ar, t, serialization::core_version_type( v ) );`.
