Hi

I recompiled my code with CGAL-3.6 and obtained a different precondition error

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CGAL::Assertion_exception'
  what():  CGAL ERROR: assertion violation!

Expr: n == zone.fh
File: /home/simon/compile/CGAL-3.6/include/CGAL/Mesh_2/Refine_edges.h
Line: 431
Aborted

Any suggestions?

Simon

Hi Simon,

It might be that you do not use a kernel with exact (filtered) predicates. You
may also have encountered a bug that exists in Mesh_2 since a long time, and
which I fixed last week. The patch will be published in CGAL-3.6 final
release, at the end of this week. Verify your kernel use, and if it is
correct, be patient until Thursday or Friday.
