[Insight-users] Getting "Cannot allocate memory" when compiling Modules/ITKReview

[pmon mail]

For the logs...

I have just seen that this problem also causes builds to fail on dashboard
also.

It turned out that every cxx which includes "*
bin/Wrapping/Typedefs/ITKReviewExplicit.h*" causing this failure.

I see that this is a general include file which by itself includes many
others. I have patched all cxx files which are including this header to
include the specifically needed headers one by one instead of this huge
one.
This has solved me the problem and wrapping has been compiled successfully
and it seems to be working.

The question is whether:
a. is this valid solution?
b. if yes, how can I share it?

thx,
PMon
