Hi everyone,

I have noticed that, at least on my Linux machine, every part of KDE seems to 
be built with the "-fno-rtti" option passed to the compiler. kapptemplate, 
which I use to generate the automake/autoconf framework for the code I write, 
also uses that option for all programs.

I would like to know why this option is always used. Is it a g++/libg++ 
problem? Or KDE "policy"? :-) 

A KDE library I am writing needs to use dynamic casts as "real" dynamic 
casts, not converted to static casts (which, I think, is the result of 
passing "-fno-rtti" to g++). Should I expect any problems if I compile my 
code without that option?


Thank you for any tip.

Best regards,

Manuel
