[vtk-developers] Dashboard warning vtkStructuredData.h

[David Gobbi]

The mingw dashboard is showing tons of warnings about the inline
methods in vtkStructuredData.h

https://open.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?type=1&buildid=3641101

I believe that this is due to the order in which the inlined methods
are defined.  Specifically, inline methods should not be used prior to
their definition, otherwise the mingw compiler complains.

For example, this:

  inline vtkIdType vtkStructuredData::GetNumberOfCells(int ext[6], int)
  {
    int cellDims[3];
    vtkStructuredData::GetCellDimensionsFromExtent(ext,cellDims);
    ...
  }

appears in the header file before this:

  inline void vtkStructuredData::GetCellDimensionsFromExtent(
      int ext[6], int celldims[3], int)
  {
    celldims[0] = vtkStructuredData::Max(ext[1] - ext[0], 0);
    celldims[1] = vtkStructuredData::Max(ext[3] - ext[2], 0);
    celldims[2] = vtkStructuredData::Max(ext[5] - ext[4], 0);
  }

If the definition of GetCellDimensionsFromExtent() appeared before the
definition of GetNumberOfCells(), then mingw wouldn't complain.
