[Insight-developers] VXL code modifications

[Julien Jomier]

Hello,

I'm almost done porting ITK for MSVC 8 beta 2.
The only two remaining problems are related to VXL:

1) The following line:
inline static float max() { return 3.40282347E+38F; }

returns a compiler error because the value is too big.
Decreasing the value by a small amount works.

2) in netlib.h, the following lines:
#if VXL_C_MATH_HAS_SQRTF
float sqrtf(float);
#else

returns:
C:\DartClient\Insight\Utilities\vxl\v3p\netlib\netlib.h(25) : error 
C2059: syntax error : 'type'

This is not a CMake issue since sqrtf() is defined by the compiler. One 
possible fix is to comment this line for MSVC 8.

What do you think?

Also, is there a way to contribute these modifications back to VXL? Do 
we have a policy on this?

Thanks,

Julien
