Hi John.
No, we don't have a macro for that; BTW I think the Visual C++ is about the only compiler that doesn't enable it by default :-(
Would it be possible to add this to boost? Something like BOOST_HAS_RTTI? It seems like the best place to put such a macro.
Note that parts of Boost simply won't compile with "g++ -fno-rtti", lexical_cast for instance. If there were a BOOST_NO_RTTI macro then bad_lexical_cast could be changed so it doesn't use std::type_info and typeid() but that would make it pretty much useless. Also, as already pointed out, BOOST_NO_RTTI would imply different things on different compilers, so it might be necessary to have BOOST_NO_DYNAMIC_CAST, BOOST_NO_TYPEID etc. jon -- "If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit." - card on R.A.W.'s desk
