Re: [boost] Boost for new compiler

Beman Dawes:

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: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1104 since typeid(T) does not require the R in RTTI and may be supported even when RTTI is off (under MSVC for example).
