 //  MACRO:         BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO
 //  TITLE:         type_info not in namespace std
 //  DESCRIPTION:   The <typeinfo> header declares type_info in the global
 namespace instead of std

 #include <typeinfo>

 namespace boost_no_std_typeinfo
 {

 int test()
 {
    std::type_info * p = 0;
    return 0;
 }

 }
 }}}

 A better alternative to this macro may be to inject ::type_info into
 namespace std in suffix.hpp, but we still need a way to detect that the
 compiler needs the workaround. So it might be best to do both.
 Unfortunately this may interfere with config_test.
