[Insight-users] Re: Linking error - ProgressReporter

[Reinhold Füreder]

Hi again,

I would like to add some details about the problem I have:

It was compiling fine before I upgraded to the last CVS version of ITK. But
after upgrading I got the following error messages:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
d:\yann\cvs\insight\code\common\itkimagefunction.h(61) : error C2039:
'GetImageDimension' : is not a member of 'itk'
        d:\yann\cvs\insight\code\common\itkimagefunction.h(181) : see

..... (and so on)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore I added an include to MY file which was compiling after receiving
the above error message to explicitly know the "GetImageDimension", which is
declared in the itkImageBase class:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <itkImageBase.h>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Afterwards the GetImageDimension is well known but I receive the linking
error of my first e-mail (which is quoted at the bottom of this e-mail too).

The definition of the GetImageDimension (see below) mentions a bug in MSVC,
which I am currently using. So maybe there is a solution with regard to this
work-around???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
 * Due to a bug in MSVC, an enum value cannot be accessed out of a template
 * parameter until the template class opens.  In order for templated classes
 * to access the dimension of an image template parameter in defining their
 * own dimension, this class is needed as a work-around.
 */
template <typename TImage>
struct GetImageDimension
{
  itkStaticConstMacro(ImageDimension, unsigned int, TImage::ImageDimension);
};

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks a lot for your help,
    Reinhold
