[Insight-users] Re: WrapITK: more windows build errors

[Zachary Pincus]

Charl -

It looks like (perhaps) GCC_XML is parsing itkMultiThreader.h  
differently than VC++ is. Specifically, for POSIX systems,  
ThreadFunctionType is 'void *(*ThreadFunctionType)(void *)', whereas  
on windows systems it is 'void (*ThreadFunctionType)(void *)'. It  
looks like you're getting a mix of the two.

The error you sent below may be because somehow GCC_XML is seeing  
that typedef as for the POSIX case and then SWIG wrappers are  
generated for that, but then VC++ sees the proper typedef and then  
the SWIG wrapper code is wrong for the actual MultiThreader code.  
(This would require that somehow ITK_USE_PTHREADS is defined when  
GCC_XML parses the source. How could that happen?)

I've CC'd Brad on this because he might have some additional insight  
on what's happening here, or how to deal with it.

Also, could you send me the entire function 'static PyObject  
*_wrap_itkMultiThreader_SetMultipleMethod(PyObject *, PyObject  
*args)' from wrap_ITKCommonBasePython.cxx (should be lines 4500-4600  
or so) so I can check this theory out more carefully?

In the mean time, I think that WrapITK will work right without  
wrappers for the multithreader. I'm not ready to say that it should  
be removed from WrapITK though... but if we can't fix these build  
problems, then maybe it will have to be.
