[Insight-developers] Sun Compiler

[Miller, James V (Research)]

If I recall correctly from 5 years ago, the Sun compiler never 
liked classes templated over integers (e.g. like how we specify 
the dimension of an image or vector).

When we did the Borland compiler, it didn't like specifying the 
dimensions (of internal types/typedefs) based on enums (which were
derived from template parameters).

I don't think this has anything to do with INCLASS member initialization.
It is this line that causes the problem:  CoordRepType[PointDimension]
There are no defines on that line.  The problem is that it does not think
PointDimension is an int.   If you use the template parameter
VPointDimension
it works.
