Christoph Perick Thorsten Ottosen The BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERT define is necessary to build without RTTI ,because there is bug inside the boost_ptr_container (reversible_ptr_container.hpp, clone_allocator.hpp). The implementation uses the typeid(..) function inside a BOOST_ASSERT. Unfortunately it does not care about the RTTI setting (enabled or not). I had this problem in a debug build.
