Re: [Boost-users] [exception] RTTI

In practice, the reason to disable RTTI is simple: it leads to smaller executables. Most of the size penalty comes from the typeid().name() strings, which need to be emitted conservatively for every polymorphic type. Some numbers: I enabled RTTI testwise now, and my binaries are now 10% larger. (800 -> 880 kb). I had previously only exceptions enabled, but no RTTI. Compiler is VC9/x64
