Does this require some kind of RTTI?

Some kind, yes, to provide type safety. If the built-in RTTI is disabled, Boost Exception uses the same workaround used by shared_ptr.

I'm curious as to what the statement above refers to. I don't remember anything in the shared_ptr documentation which refers to that.

It isn't a documented feature, it's only used internally by both libraries. See boost/detail/sp_typeinfo.hpp, and boost/exception/detail/type_info.hpp. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
