      TypeIndex is a header only library and it does not use Boost libraries that
      require building. You just need to #include
      <boost/type_index.hpp>
      to start using it.
    
The library supports a number of configuration macros, defining which require full rebuild of all the projects that use TypeIndex:
Table 42.1. Configuration macros
| Macro name | Short description | 
|---|---|
| Macro that allows you to use your own implementation of TypeIndex instead of the default all around the projects and libraries. | |
| Macro that must be defined if you are mixing RTTI-on and RTTI-off. | |
| 
                 | Macros that allow you to specify parsing options and type name generating macro for RTTI-off cases. | 
      You can define configuration macros in the bjam
      command line using one of the following approaches:
    
b2 variant=release define=BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FORCE_NO_RTTI_COMPATIBILITY stage
b2 variant=release "define=BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING='(39, 1, true, \"T = \")'" stage
However, it may be more convenient to define configuration macros in the "boost/config/user.hpp" file in order to automatically define them both for the library and user's projects.
