[vtk-developers] Deprecating vtkFastNumericConversion

[David Gobbi]

Hi All,

I would like to remove vtkFastNumericConversion from VTK, it contains
a bunch of bit-hacks for speeding up Round() and Floor() on the
PentiumII and earlier processors, and the operations it performs have
undefined results according to the current C/C++ standards.

How do I go about deprecating a full class?  Or can I simply remove
it, if it isn't used anywhere?

I made a gerrit topic for its removal:
