[Insight-developers] TImage::ImageDimension

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi,

Looking closer into the problem of using ImageDimension,
there are some funny facts:

1) In VC++ 6.0 this produce  a warning, not an error

2) The warning doesn't appears with gcc,  maybe
     because gcc doesn't complain about zero
    size arrays being declared  like:    int m[0];

3)  In spite of the warning,...
      the code runs ok  with gcc and VC++.

------

This is a minimal example of the similar situation.
Here, a short "Image" class is used, just to isolate
the code from the rest of Insight, so the attached
file is self-contained.

The output of the program shows that the dimension
of the image created inside the process object is
really 3 as expected.

I will speculate that this is due to the different aspects
of the code that are checked during the several compiler
passes.  Perhaps enums are initialized after array sizes
are checked....

==================================

#include <iostream>

//--------------------------------
// Image Class
//--------------------------------
template <class T, unsigned int N>
class Image {
public:
  enum { ImageDimension = N };
  typedef Image * Pointer;
private:
  unsigned int Index[N];
};


//--------------------------------
// Process Class
//--------------------------------
template <class TImage>
class myProcess {
  typedef Image<int, TImage::ImageDimension> TempImage;
  typename TempImage::Pointer temp;
public:
  myProcess() {
    std::cout << "image dimension = ";
    std::cout <<  TempImage::ImageDimension << std::endl;
  }
};

//--------------------------------
// Main
//--------------------------------
int main()
{
  typedef Image<float,3> myImageType;
  myProcess<myImageType> process;
  return 0;
}
