| Sometimes there may be a need to create your own type info system. This may |

| a type, pointers to common functions...) or if you have an idea of a more compact |
| types representations. |

| <p> |
| There is an easy way to force <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">typeindex</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">type_id</span></code> |
| to use your own type_index class. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| All we need to do is just define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_USER_TYPEINDEX</span></code> |
| to the full path to header file of your type index class: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_USER_TYPEINDEX must be defined *BEFORE* first inclusion of <boost/type_index.hpp></span> |
| <span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_USER_TYPEINDEX</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/../</span><span class="identifier">libs</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">type_index</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">examples</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">user_defined_typeinfo</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span> |
| <span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">type_index</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span> |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| You'll also need to add some typedefs and macro to your "user_defined_typeinfo.hpp" |
| header file: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_CLASS</span> <span class="identifier">MY_TYPEINDEX_REGISTER_CLASS</span> |
| <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">typeindex</span> <span class="special">{</span> |
| <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">my_namespace</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">my_type_index</span> <span class="identifier">type_index</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| <span class="special">}}</span> |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| That's it! Now all TypeIndex global methods and typedefs will be using your |
| class: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">typeindex</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">type_index</span> <span class="identifier">worldwide</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">typeindex</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">type_id</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">my_classes</span><span class="special">>();</span> |

| <span class="identifier">assert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">worldwide</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="identifier">my_type_index</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">type_id</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">my_classes</span><span class="special">>());</span> |
