  That revision is incorrect.  It should have failed, but
didn't because of bugs in the implementation of link-fail.
The original build for this revision
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/apolukhin/type-index/build/1.64.44-master
shows:

msvc.link
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\type_index\test\link_fail_nortti_rtti.test\msvc-14.0\debug\threading-multi\link_fail_nortti_rtti.exe
msvc.manifest
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\type_index\test\link_fail_nortti_rtti.test\msvc-14.0\debug\threading-multi\link_fail_nortti_rtti.exe
(failed-as-expected)
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\type_index\test\link_fail_nortti_rtti.test\msvc-14.0\debug\threading-multi\link_fail_nortti_rtti.exe

which has no error messages.  (The error messages are printed
by default for FAIL_EXPECTED targets.)
