[Boost-users] boost::serialization forcing linker to create a lib?

Hello folks

I am using boost 1.37 off the CVS with the visual studio 2008 compiler.

As soon as I instantiate an archive (of boost::serialization), the linker implicitly creates a lib and a exp file for my exe.
Is that wanted behavior? Why?

//text_iarchive archive(file);

<-
When this line is not commented, the linker creates the two files. This is the linker output:

'Creating library project_manager.lib and object project_manager.exp'

Thank you
