[Insight-users] ITK and iterators debugging in Visual Studio 8

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Matei,

When adding cmakedefine statements to  itkConfigure.h.in,
they will only appear in the file

                      itkConfigure.h

that CMake generates in the Binary directory where you are
building ITK (and the install directory,... if you  are
installing ITK after building it).


The symbol does not appear in the CMake configuration editor, and
it does not appear in the properties of Visual Studio IDE. This
is normal. It is actually part of the advantages of defining the
symbol in the itkConfigure.h.in file.


Since itkConfigure.h is included by almost all ITK files, the symbol
will be used all through your build.


For a simple verification you can try adding in your
code something like:


       #ifndef _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING
       #error ITERATOR_DEBUGING_NOT_DEFINED
       #endif



Please let us know if you find an indication that the symbol does
not get defined correctly.


   Thanks


     Luis
