Without RTTI TypeIndex library will switch from using boost::typeindex::stl_type_index
class to boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index. boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index
uses macro for getting full text representation of function name for each type
that is passed to type_id()
and type_id_with_cvr()
functions.
This leads to big strings in binary file:
static const char* boost::detail::ctti<T>::n() [with T = int] static const char* boost::detail::ctti<T>::n() [with T = user_defined_type]
While using RTTI, you'll get the following (more compact) string in binary file:
i 17user_defined_type
