And the point is to demonstrate that there are two macros defined when RTTI is enabled, __GXX_RTTI (as Marc said, you got the number of underscores wrong), and __cpp_rtti. I have no idea where you got _CPP_RTTI, maybe that's meant to be __cpp_rtti and you got the number of underscores and capitlization wrong.
