Hi all.
I was wondering if boost has any portable way for detecting whether RTTI is enabled? (For instance a macro expanding to _CPPRTTI in Visual Studio). If there is, I have not been able to find it.
Out of curiosity: why would anybody not use RTTI ? Why shouldn't compilers without RTTI just considered broken ? Being able to switch RTTI support off just introduces binary incompatibilities and makes some code illegal (you can't cast between classes with a virtual inheritance relationship without dynamic_cast, etc.) Regards, Stefan
