[Insight-developers] Overloading ambiguity error while compiling Slicer; Solaris, ITK 3-18

[Attila Nagy]

Hi folks,

while trying to compile Slicer for Solaris, I ran into this problem (see at the end of the mail).
Some parameters: x86 64 bit mode, ITK-3.18, Studio express 10/06 (or 06/10, I never know... :)), Slicer 3-6
I did not have this error with earlier compiler versions (S12, S12u1) (*).
In fact I think I see what the problem might be: math_iso.h is included in math.h, and math_iso.h only contains one definition (double, double), not the other one. A cast would maybe do, but we're talking about a .txx file, and metaprogramming is waay beyond me :)
According to Su..^W Oracle Studio's IDE the offending code is in 
Code/Review/itkLabelPerimeterEstimationCalculator.txx

(http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Review/itkLabelPerimeterEstimationCalculator.txx?view=log&root=Insight&pathrev=ITK-3-18)

in line 155:
int numberOfNeighbors = (int)vcl_pow( 2.0, ImageDimension );

Could maybe somebody take a look at it?

(*): this may simply indicate that this ambiguity was not caught by earlier compiler versions, for example:

Thanks very much,
Attila

ps: I could overcome the warning at least :D
