[Insight-developers] source code change impacting Intel compiler

[Simon Warfield]

A recent change has been incompatible with the Intel compiler but works 
with GCC.
The symptom is the following error message:

Apparently the compiler is objecting to reporting the size of the 
temporary object, perhaps because it can't work out when the objects 
destructor will be called.

I wonder if an alternative means of setting vrSize would work.
