[Insight-developers] 08df6af - ENH: Get function accessible from const objects

[Johnson, Hans J]

Cheung,

The macro for Modifiable provides both the const and the non-const version of the Get function for more complete API consistency across the toolkit.

Regarding the doxygen generated code,  I am not familiar with how to accomplish what you request.

Subject: 08df6af - ENH: Get function accessible from const objects

Hi Hans,

I was looking at the ITK nightly documentation and noticed that the GetVertexList() function is gone.

Here it is in the ITK4.3.0 documentation: http://www.itk.org/Doxygen43/html/classitk_1_1PolyLineParametricPath.html#acaed5e0ed9c07fb5cb464fb7c33a4383

This had me scratching my head for quite a while until I realized that the function is generated via a macro.

Here what happens to it in the nightly documentation:

Here it is in the ITK nightly documentation: http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1PolyLineParametricPath.html#a288d6d3994677ffda85fb90fbe57ce51



With the power of gitk, I found commit 08df6af and noticed you introduced a series of changes to the macros, introducing the GetModifiableObjectMacro.

In particular I have 2 questions:

1. Why was GetVertexList changed from Const to Modifiable?
2. The documentation now shows the macro as the definition instead of the function generated by the macro. Can this be fixed in the doxygen.configure.in? I'm not quite familiar with that part of ITK.

Thanks for your time,
