Serialization in the code intended to compile without RTTI

[Anton Menshov]

I have the code that uses serialization via cereal. However, this code will have to be compiled without RTTI support (-fno-rtti).

From what I understand, according to https://uscilab.github.io/cereal/polymorphism.html cereal uses RTTI to perform serialization of polymorphic types.

I wonder:

1. Is it possible to use cereal when serializing non-polymorphic types?
2. Are there additional step one can do to still perform serialization of polymorphic types with cereal without RTTI?

By today, I found only this question on StackOverflow, which is not answered and does not give me too much hope.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
