Possibility to build OCCT using Visual Studio 2008 (VC9) is restored.
For that:
- template functions and classes from namespace std or tr1 (for VC9) are imported to namespace opencascade which is then used instead of std in relevant places
- templates not provided by compiler (VC9) but required for OCCT are defined in this namespace (in Standard_Handle.hxx)
- methods implementing move semantics are excluded for VC9 compiler (which does not support && syntax)
- support of vc9 compiler is restored in build procedures and environment scripts
- check of type of the current class in macros DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI* is refactored
VS 2008 is restored in the list of supported platforms on Overview / System Requirements.
Code corrected to avoid ambiguous situations due to changed implementation of Handle (overloaded methods accepting handles of different types).
In Adaptor3d_CurveOnSurface added method Load() with two parameters, allowing to avoid ambiguity of cast of handles when calling separate methods Load() for curve and surface, replacing by single call.
In DrawTrSurf and IGESData_IGESWriter, template variants of methods Set() and Send(), respectively, are added to avoid ambiguity when these methods are called with handles to derived types (using SFINAE).
In NCollection_DefineHSequence, method Append() accepting handle to another HSequence is made template, to be available only if argument has compatible type.
Macro defining Handle class is replaced by template class implementing the same concept (defined in Standard_Handle.hxx and Standard_Transient.hxx), opencascade::handle<>.
Header file Standard_DefineHandle.hxx becomes deprecated: the only useful macro DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI is defined now in Standard_Type.hxx. Standard_DefineHandle.hxx is kept for compatibility, it defines macros previously used for definition of Handles and RTTI as empty. Macro DEFINE_STANDARD_HANDLE(C1,C2) is also kept for compatibility; now it expands to typedef "Handle_C1" to corresponding handle class.
Definitions of macro Handle() and STANDARD_TYPE() moved from Standard_Macro.hxx to Standard_Handle.hxx (new file) and Standard_Type.hxx, respectively.
New template class NCollection_Shared added, allowing to define sub-class manipulated by handle, for any non-transient class.
Adaptations for compiling with GCC 4.7
NCollection classes amended to be compatible with TCollection equivalents:
- List and Maps: copy constructor is used for placement of new items in collection instead of assignment operator, thus default constructor is not necessary any more for the item class
- Constructors with additional argument of element type added in array classes operated by Handle, defined by NCollection_DefineHArray*.hxx, allowing to initialize array immediately by specified value
- Non-const methods First() and Last() are added in List class, and method Value() in TListIterator class
- Method Append() accepting Handle(HSequence) provided in NCollection_DefineHSequence.hxx
- Default implementation of global function IsEqual() is provided as template (using operator ==)
Code using lists and maps of sequences is refactored to operate sequence by Handle (since Sequence does not to have public copy constructor).
In addition, error checking code is simplified to use macros _Raise_if instead of custom #ifdefs with the same meaning.
Comments within declaration of instances of generic classes in CDL removed.
Fixed bug in copy constructor of NCollection_BaseVector leading to corrupt data if original vector is empty; simplistic test command for vectors is added.
NCollection_BaseCollection class, relevant header files, and macro DEFINE_BASECOLLECTION removed.
Hence methods Assign() from other compatible (via inheritance of BaseCollection) collections are not available any more, as well as base Iterator class.
All methods of Iterator classes are made non-virtual, allowing their inline expansion for better performance.
OCCT-specific operators new and delete added to collection classes and removed from iterator classes.
License statement text corrected; compiler warnings caused by Bison 2.41 disabled for MSVC; a few other compiler warnings on 54-bit Windows eliminated by appropriate type cast
Wrong license statements corrected in several files.
Copyright and license statements added in XSD and GLSL files.
Copyright year updated in some files.
Obsolete documentation files removed from DrawResources.
