[Insight-developers] regression errors with visual studio 2013

Bradley,

I suspect a optimizer issue too, as Debug mode doesn't have the same issues.

The only caveat is that VS12  implements more of the c++2011 standard than
VS11 did, so it's plausible that there is something subtle going on there
with the changes in defaul ctors ( or move semantics?)

I am not familiar enough with the ITK (or vnl) codebase *or* the new
standard to know if this is likely.

I will look into the issues when I have time, but your plan sounds sensible
to me.
