Current Tasks

Build WrapITK with ccache

included in ITK v4.alpha

TO UPDATE: Build WrapITK with WRAP_ITK_EXPLICIT

  • compare the build time and the bin directory size
  • Write the result on a wiki page.

included in ITK v4.alpha

Move the customization code from python's main CMakeLists.txt to swig macros in pyBase.i

  • GitHub Commits
    • dd04a6e ENH: Code cleanup in CMakeLists.txt. Swig customization for python is now moved to the file pyBase.i
    • c1526cb ENH: Code cleanup for python customization
    • 5c1ef5f ENH: Cleanup for python customization in CMakeLists.txt
    • 6772f83 ENH: Cleanup of CMakeLists.txt, fix for a warning in ITKMetaDataObject.wrap
    • c1d4b4c BUG: Fixes for Python customization cleanup
  • pushed to gerrit here

Warning messages for TCL, Ruby, Perl support in WrapITK

    • 9d9215c DOC: Shorten the message for TCL support in WrapITK
    • d9bc5a2 ENH: TCL support in WrapITK is marked as unstable
  • pushed to gerrit here

Set up the 64 bit build on CoSMoTest-Win7 with MSVC 10

  • library naming problems
  • solution: move to cmake 2.8.4 --WORKED!
  • to set up a nightly/continuous.

List of e-mails to handle

  • for discussion and triage everyday during the tconf.

MetadataDictionary access from target languages

  • modify itkMetaDataDictionary.h to add those methods:
 + MetaDataObjectBase::Pointer & Get(const std::string &) const;
 + void Set(const std::string &, MetaDataObjectBase * );
 + std::vector< std::string > Keys() const;
  • add a specific language customization for python, to make the metadata accessible in a more usual way.
 + a __setitem__() method to add/modify a metadata in the dictionary
 + a __len__() method to return the number of metadata in the dictionary
 + a __getitem__() method - this one should take care to down cast the object to its real type
 + a __str__() method to print the content of the dictionary
 + a __iter__() method to return every elements in the dictionary one by one
  • github commits
    • a6ac0ee ENH: Throw an itkGenericException if the key does not exist
    • 627088b ENH: Throw an itkGenericException if the key does not exist

    • 9a3fe08 ENH: Suppress sswig warning for %extend directive
    • a101ed3 ENH: Added functions __str__, __itr__, __setitem__ and __len__ to make the metadata accessible in a more usual way
    • ec3eb48 BUG: Fixed the spurious comma which generated the incorrect code
    • ce6ecfb ENH: Modified the setitem function to support the array notation at the python interface, and, added code to the test file for MetaDataDictionary
  • pushed to gerrit [YES]
  • staged [NOT YET]
  • merged [NOT YET]

Tcl SmartPointers

Look at how SmartPointers are replaced by swig proxy objects in python and java and explore the possibility to do the same in Tcl to decrease the build time of WrapITK.

Fix Installation

  • They are currenly in /usr/local/lib/cmake/ITK-4.0/WrapITK -- that's not good
  • Option ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/ITK-4.0/ accepted in the ITK developers list
    • Put all wrapITK libraries here along with libraries of other packages. We won't require versioned names.
  • Gerrit-Push

Remove the USE_WRAP_ITK option

  • Enabling a language in cmake should be enough.
  • [NOT YET]

Build swig as an external project

  • As it's done for gccxml.
  • If you look in the gerrit abandoned patch, you will find a change proposed by Kent Williams which can be partially reused.
  • [NOT YET]

Integrate WrapITK in the ITK modularization

  • First step - Restructure the WrapITK Libraries directory to look it similar to the Modules directory here
