[Paraview] fixes for AIX 5.1

[Rich Cook]

I am building Paraview on AIX using xlC.
I have noticed I needed to make some changes to make it work.  I am  
not sure to whom I should submit this kind of thing.  ?  Thanks.

On AIX I ran into some issues.  g++ appears to expect ISO C++, so I get:
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xutil.h:380: error: ISO C++ forbids  
declaration of `XClipBox' with no type
What flag gets around this?  There's no gcc man page on our AIX  
system, so I try xlc and xlC.  Ironically, I found that on AIX,  
ccmake gets confused easily, so moved away gcc build and source  
directories first.

CC=xlc CXX=xlC LD=xlC /usr/global/tools/Kitware/CMake/latest/ 
$SYS_TYPE/bin/ccmake /usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/ 
$SYS_TYPE/paraview-2.4.2

I get the following error :
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/VTK/Common/Testing/Cxx/TestSmartPointer.cxx", line 5
2.7: 1540-0219 (S) The call to "operator==" has no best match.

Fixed by commenting out lines 52-57 in TestSmartPointer.cxx
Keep your fingers crossed!  :-)  The real fix would be to cast the 0  
to a SmartPointer, but perhaps that was the whole point of the test.   
Oh, well.

Then I get another error:
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/vtkKWParameterValueFunctionEditor.h", line  
46.7: 1540-0400 (S) "class ostrstream" has a conflicting declaration.

Fix: comment out line 55 in vtkKWParameterValueFunctionEditor.h:
//BTX
//class ostrstream;
//ETX
and add the following to the top of it:
# include <strstream> // Include real ansi strstreams.
using std::strstream;
   virtual void RedrawPoint(int id, ostrstream *tk_cmd = 0);

Onward, ho!  Next problem:
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/vtkKWSpinBox.h", line 70.16: 1540-2606 (W)  
"restrict" can only qualify a pointer or reference type.  The  
"restrict" keyword is ignored.
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/vtkKWSpinBox.cxx", line 97.6: 1540-2606  
(W) "restrict" can only qualify a pointer or reference type.  The  
"restrict" keyword is ignored.
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/vtkKWSpinBox.cxx", line 99.15: 1540-0063  
(S) The text ")" is unexpected.
gmake[2]: *** [GUI/Widgets/CMakeFiles/KWWidgets.dir/vtkKWSpinBox.o]  
Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [GUI/Widgets/CMakeFiles/KWWidgets.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Fix:  use irestrict instead of restrict for parameter name to  
function -- restrict is a C++ keyword, I guess.

Then:
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/Utilities/tkcon/vtkKWTkconTclLibrary.h",  
line 9.3: 1540-0872 (S) A string literal cannot be longer than 32765  
characters.

Fix:  broke the string into 5 parts and made declarations to be:
static const unsigned char *file_tkcon_tcl_sections[5]  = {
   file_tkcon_tcl_section_1,
   file_tkcon_tcl_section_5,
   file_tkcon_tcl_section_3,
   file_tkcon_tcl_section_4,
   file_tkcon_tcl_section_2
};
and
static const unsigned int file_tkcon_tcl_nb_sections = 5;

Similarly with this error:
"/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/ 
paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Client/Resources/vtkPVSplashScreen.h", line 12.3:  
1540-0872 (S) A string literal cannot be longer than 32765 characters.
Divide into sections, etc.

Build completed and paraview is now installed as of 2/3/06
