<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>I worked on VTK headers and I think the following minor corrections could be done:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>In vtkObjectBase.h</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#include "vtkIndent.h"<BR>#include "vtkSystemIncludes.h"<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Including vtkSystemIncludes.h is not needed, because it is already done by vtkIndent.h</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>In vtkMutexLock.h and</DIV>
<DIV>In vtkCriticalSection.h</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>remove the inclusion of</DIV>
<DIV>#include <winbase.h></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which is already done with <windows.h> through vtkObjectBase->vtkSystemIncludes->vtkWin32Header.h</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>The same with</DIV>
<DIV>vtkDynamicLoader.cxx</DIV>
<DIV>vtkDirectory.cxx</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which include</DIV>
<DIV>#include <windows.h></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Moreover vtkDirectory.cxx doesn't need <windows.h></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also propose to add some #define before including <windows.h> in vtkWin32Header.h.</DIV>
<DIV>Actually we have:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#ifndef STRICT<BR>#define STRICT<BR>#endif</DIV>
<DIV>#ifdef VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB<BR>#ifndef NOMINMAX<BR>#define NOMINMAX<BR>#endif<BR>#endif<BR></DIV>
<DIV>#include <windows.h><BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I propose to add at least WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN which significantly reduce <windows.h> size and speeds up compile time.</DIV>
<DIV>I found that the following definitions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN<BR>#define NOSERVICE<BR>#define NOMCX<BR>#define NOIME<BR>#define NONLS<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Reduced compile time by 40% on my computer. I also propose to #undef some Win32 macros which conflicts with VTK function names:</DIV>
<DIV>#undef CreateDirectory<BR>#undef GetClassName<BR>#undef GetProp<BR>#undef RemoveProp<BR>//#undef SetProp<BR></DIV>
<DIV>This solves some problems with VTK under windows, in particular when compiling in UNICODE (error likes "could not find GetClassNameW", etc...)</DIV>
<DIV>So I propose to replace</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#include <windows.h></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>by</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN<BR>#define NOSERVICE<BR>#define NOMCX<BR>#define NOIME<BR>#define NONLS</DIV>
<DIV><BR>#include <windows.h></DIV>
<DIV><BR>#undef CreateDirectory<BR>#undef GetClassName<BR>#undef GetProp<BR>#undef RemoveProp<BR>#undef SetProp<BR>//#undef SendMessage<BR></DIV>
<DIV>No code is broken, except if you #undef SendMessage (conflicts with vtkSocketCommunicator::SendMessage), vtkWin32OutputWindow.cxx will not compile.</DIV>
