[vtk-developers] vtkGPUInfo and large amounts of memory

[Sean McBride]

Hi all,

The vtkGPUInfo class:

<http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGPUInfo.html>

uses vtkIdType, which is sometimes 32 bit and sometimes 64, to count the number of bytes of memory.

This is a problem since these days you can have more than 2^32 bytes of memory. :)

It seems something like size_t should be used instead of vtkIdType.  Would such a change count as API breakage, or is it minor enough?

Cheers,
