Re: shared library RTTI with gcc

 Yes, that is the fix that Enrico was also suggesting, thanks.

 I can do it for myself, true, but the problem will remain for 
everybody who wants to use C++ libraries depending on RTTI in Lua -- 
that is why I decided to post this problem on this mailing list: I 
really like Lua and I find unfortunate this problem is not corrected.

RTTI is now since quite a while part of the C++ language.

So I am only saying that right now "require()" does not fully support 
C++ language under any platform using gcc, while it does for Windows 
platforms. I would call that a bug.

Ronan.
