It has been suggested that ITK should drop support of the Visual Studio 6.0 compiler.

http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2008-May/025838.html

Motivation

  • Lack of support for template partial specialization
  • The compiler is about 10 years old
  • It is out the market (Microsoft doesn't sell it anymore)

User's Opinions

Please add your opinions here:

In Favor of Dropping Support

  • Hans Johnson: My vote has stayed the same for many years now. I think that the need to support partial specialization is critical for future of ITK. Dropping support for VS6 will allow us to move the toolkit forward.
