[Insight-developers] Teem : NrrdIO sync with ITK : NrrdIO - now proceeding...

[Michel Audette]

Hi Gordon,

I am the software engineer at Kitware doing the reconciliation between ITK's
NrrdIO directory and Teem's NrrdIO directory. Looking at the revision
history of the former on the ITK Dashboard, most of the comments that
followed your own 2005 commits are of the nature...

*Addressing warnings in Windows 64bits related to conversions from size_t to
int and to unsigned int.
Addressing warnings in Windows 64bits related to conversions from size_t to
ints and unsigned ints.*

Unless you or other ITK developers object, my strategy will be to retain the
extra functionality that you have in Teem in the final version, with a view
to replacing the size_t's by unsigned ints, and in general keep a superset
of the two sets of changes. You seem to have emphasize const pointers in
Teem, which could be applied to the ITK version, since these are now
increasingly emphasized in ITK style.

I welcome any comments from you and the community that relate to this
update.

Best wishes,

Michel
