[connect update 5] SDK Update 5 info

Hi Nenad,

I don't know about any such list. There is a list of new features available in SDK readme both for native and managed APIs, MicroStationAPI.chm contains a list of deprecated functions, but it's not "issue per issue list".

Do you have any particular issue or error in mind?

With regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

My system is windows 7, VS 2013, NO CLR support. 

I get all kinds of errors when including PointCloudApi.h

#include <PointCloud\PointCloudApi.h>

Error example:

error C2039: 'OrientedBoxCR' : is not a member of 'Bentley::DgnPlatform'

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'IPointCloudChannelVectorCR'

All in all, I get 13 errors like this.

thanks

Nenad

I guess the only "real test" is to install Visual Studio 2015 and to try to compile your code.

After quick search I can see OrientedBoxCR declaration in PointCloudClipHandler.h, but I am not sure IPointCloudChannelVectorCR declaration.

But in my opinion to move to Update 5 (or to Update 6 comming at summer I hope) makes sense despite of particular reported issues are solved or not. My feeling from Update 5 is definitely good, there are plenty of both small and big changes and enhancements in all areas. Also a migration from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2015 brings better compilers (for C++ it's about better support of newer C++ standards, for C# it's about Roslyn).

With regards,

Jan

Hi Jan

Thanks,

I'll try with VS 2015. If still not working, I'll report a bug.

thanks

Nenad

What do you mean by 'NO CLR support'?

That header file is a convenience that #includes most of what you need for Point Cloud development.

Class OrientedBox is defined in PointCloudClipHandler.h.  You need to #include that header before you #include PointCloudApi.h.

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'IPointCloudChannelVectorCR'

I can't find any header that declares PointCloudChannelVector.  It's referenced here...

POINTCLOUD_EXPORT IPointCloudQueryBuffersPtr  CreateBuffers(UInt32 capacity, UInt32 channelFlags, IPointCloudChannelVectorCR channels);

Yes, you should use Viz Studio 2015 with CONNECT v10.05.  However, a different compiler can't supply a missing header file: it's absence remains a defect.
