#12554: boost/core/typeinfo.hpp creates unwanted strings in release binary
-----------------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  Lev Sch <Zorechfan@…>  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new                    |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  None                   |    Version:  Boost 1.62.0
 Severity:  Problem                |   Keywords:
-----------------------------------+------------------------------
 If a program is compiled for a production build then strings are created
 in program binary.
 Location where the strings are created: boost/core/typeinfo.hpp ->
 boost::core::detail::core_typeid_::name -> BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION.

 Current behavior has two drawbacks for a production version of a program:
 1. binary program file size become larger
 2. code symbols are present in production version of a program

 Five minutes proposed solution from me is replace function "name" by
 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 Code highlighting:
   {{{#!c++
   static char const * name()
     {
 #ifdef NDEBUG
         return "";
 #else
         return BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION;
 #endif
     }
   }}}
 }}}


 Sorry for English...

 Thank you for attention.
