Folks, I'll bring up the issue of removing Borland support again. I think the last time I brought it up[*], the most compelling argument for keeping borland support was that ITK uses vnl. So this time, I propose that we drop Borland support for everything except vnl and its dependencies. While we can continue to do workarounds and such for the Borland compiler, I don't see a good return on investment in it, especially with the availability of other "free" compilers on Windows. (E.g. the express editions of Visual Studio.) Thoughts? Amitha. |

Since none of the other compilers complain about any rpl+vnl issue, I think the errors are due to a faulty compiler, instead of errors in vnl. We should continue to make sure vnl itself compiles, and, as a favour to ITK, make sure their use of vnl compiles. (They have dashboard build that tests CVS vnl with CVS ITK.) I think we should limit our support of Borland to that. > 2. I suggest asking vxl users: "Is anyone using the Borland 5.5.1 > compiler for VXL?" That's a good idea. I'll do that if no-one else on the list has objections to removing bcc. Amitha. |
