RunTime Type Information

[LaBird]

Dear all,

I would like to ask, has RTTI (RunTime Type Information) become a language
standard in C++, or is it still considered as an add-on feature that some
up-to-date versions of C++ implementations do not provide?
Thanks!

Best Regards,
LaBird (Benny).

RTTI is required by the standard.

As Jerry Coffin told you, it is required by the standard. Some
compilers might not provide it when you compile out-of-the-box. In that
case you will have to set a switch.

Kind regards
