Re: [Boost-users] shared_ptr without rtti

Using WinARM version 20060606 (gcc 4.1.1) compiling with -fno-rtti gives:

I thought typeid can work at compile-time without rtti (seems to for msvc8) but I guess not.

Any ideas?

So I take it there is no flags for gcc to enable compile-time rtti only and there are no other ways around the typeid error in shared_ptr's implementation.
