[ITK-dev] Problems with Change in itkStaticConstMacro

[Bradly Lowekamp]

Hello Luc,

Thanks for looking into this.

This bug is related to the older GCC 4.1 compiler that is found standard with Redhat 5 and Fedora 5 and used for distributions such as Anaconda’s Python. I apologize for the incorrect version before.

Here is some ITK code to reproduce the error:

Thank you for exploring a minimal test case. Your code does compile and run OK with GCC 4.1.

As a work around for SimpleITK I have disabled the SimpleITK Explicit library for now [1], this is not an optimal solution, and we should try to get explicit instantiation working again with GCC 4.1

Brad
