[vtk-developers] Questions about the Wrapping/hints file

[David Gobbi]

The repeat is intentional.   Essentially, the "class", "method", and
"type" values must match the method in order for the size hint to be
used.  If no match is found, the hint line is ignored.

Depending on the platform, the method will be:
__int64 *vtkTypeInt64Array::GetValueRange()

or:
long long *vtkTypeInt64Array::GetValueRange()

In the first case, the 30C line will be used and the 30B line will be ignored.
In the second case, the 30C line will be ignored and 30B will be used.
All four of these lines are needed.
