Hi Timothee,
Thank you for responding. That was the kind of help I hoped to get!
Following code snippet compiles and links OK:
*template<typename ValueType,unsigned int Dimension>*
*int ItkToAvs(AVSfield** ppAvs, typename
itk::Image<ValueType,Dimension>::Pointer InputImage)*
*{ *
* return 0;*
*}*
*main()*
*{*
* typedef short sPixelType;*
* typedef itk::Image<sPixelType, 3> sVolume;*
* AVSfield *pAvs = NULL;*
* sVolume::Pointer itkShortVolume;*
* rc = ItkToAvs<sPixelType, 3>(&pAvs, itkShortVolume);*
*}*
However, if I put that function in another file (included in the project of
course) and add 'extern' before the 'int' return type, it compiles, but the
linker complains with:
*error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl
ItkToAvs<short,3>(struct AVSfield * *,class itk::SmartPointer<class
itk::Image<short,3> >)*
I am pretty sure that all code in that file is being linked because there
are other functions in it that are used...
Any idea what is going on?
Also, it would be nice if the conversion function ItkToAvs could figure out
what the pixeltype is and what the number of dimensions are, instead of
providing them when calling the function. How can that be done?
Greetings,
Lambert
