Hi Amir,

the workaround does not work because there is some code in Nef_polyhedron_3
that is specialized for Extended_homogeneous and Extended_cartesian. I guess
that the specialized code is not executed when the workaround is used. Try whether
the workaround works as follows:

#include <CGAL/Is_extended_kernel.h>
struct Kernel : public CGAL::Extended_homogeneous<NT> {};
struct Is_extended_kernel<Kernel > {
     typedef Tag_true value_type;
};

Where did you find the workaround? I should comment on the workaround in
the Nef documentation.

Subject: [cgal-discuss] An Example of Nef Polyhedra doesn't work correctly

Hello,

I tried to operate the example "point_set_operations" of Nef3 polyhedra. I am
using a VC8(2005) with CGAL 3.4. When I try to run the example verbatim, with
the kernel definition as:

"typedef CGAL::extended_homogeneous<CGAL::gmpz> Kernel", in debug mode, it runs
VERY slowly, up to the point where I couldn't keep on and stopped the debugging
manually. If I use the workaround offered in the documentation:

"struct Kernel : public CGAL::Extended_homogeneous<NT> {};"

the constructors of N1-6 assert that there is no proper construction during
runtime.

I add the aforementioned example file.

Thanks,
Amir.
