There was an discussion on IRC if the C++ core interface could be
developed to a independent geometric kernel with a distinct handy
name. Personally I'm open for this idea. If it's advertised
appropriate such that there is no confusion of how it's related to the
core BRL-CAD it could be a benefit.
How could this be launched?
- Choose a name
- Coding style: It's currently different from the main trunk, but this
isn't necessarily a drawback. We once talked about moving to
space-only indents in BRL-CAD sources. Besides the C++ interface uses
camel-case for class and function names. This is much more common in
C++ programming, i.e. the user will feel at home with this.
- Two version of the library?
- Redistributable library: Stand alone with calls to TCL replaced
with dummy functions (like the brlcad.dll)
- On top of the BRL-CAD libraries: Comes with the BRL-CAD program
installation
- Where should the source code go? Stay in rt^3 or move to the main trunk?
Any thoughts, comments etc. are welcome.
Regards,
Daniel
