Comment (by ramey):

 I'm totally convinced of this.  test_no_rtti isn't really named correctly.
 I tests the inter operability of classes using differing type
 identification systems.  In order to test this it chooses two systems to
 use in the test - and one of them is rtti.

 "When serializing through a pointer to a polymorphic base class, dynamic
 cast is invoked in line 204, thus making it impossible to serialize via
 base pointer without RTTI."

 line 204 - but which file?
