typeid() doesn't require RTTI on MSVC? That's news to me. What about GCC and other popular [cross-platform] compilers? On Dec 16, 2007 1:50 PM, Beman Dawes <bdawes@acm.org> wrote:

Where RTTI is useful, but not essential, I'd personally rather not remove it entirely. Instead, the code could respond to a macro (BOOST_NO_RTTI perhaps) and avoid usage when present.
In non-essential scenarios, often the proper macro to test is BOOST_NO_TYPEID:

since typeid(T) does not require the R in RTTI and may be supported even when RTTI is off (under MSVC for example).
Good point.
