[Paraview] PV3.14.1 STL reader could be broken.

Fri Apr 13 12:14:18 EDT 2012

Dear all!

I have just found out that the STL reader is broken under my Linux 64 bits distro for both the PV3.14.1 binaries either compiled from source or downloaded from paraview.org. The linux distribution I am using is SuSE SLED10 SP2. The error message I am getting is:

ERROR: In /home/utkarsh/Kitware/superbuild/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/IO/vtkSTLReader.cxx, line 446
vtkSTLReader (0x1bba420): STLReader error reading file: susp-rr-tlink-E0000-0001-lhs.stl Premature EOF while reading end solid.

I have enclosed to this email a simple STL file with which I could reproduce the issue. Note  that this issue does not happen with PV 3.12.0.

A similar error happens with PV3.14.0 & PV3.14.1 under Windows 64bits, but not up to the point of making the application crash. Here is the error message:

ERROR: In ..\..\..\..\src\VTK\IO\vtkSTLReader.cxx, line 446

vtkSTLReader (000000000E7AA380): STLReader error reading file: C:\Documents and Settings\fal\Desktop\DUMMY.stl Premature EOF while reading end solid.

The STL file is displayed correctly though after the error message window is closed:

Hope this helps improving PV.

Cheers,

Frank.
