CGAL users discussion list

["Bullard, Jeffrey W. Dr." <>]

I have a C++ program that uses the CGAL library, installed using macports.   The program was working perfectly.  However, after upgrading to CGAL 4.5.2_0, started getting many compile-time warnings that the CGAL/AABB_polyhedron_triangle_primitive.h header is deprecated and that I now should start using CGAL/AABB_face_graph_triangle_primitive.h.  The program continued to compile, but I started to get weary of the warnings.   So I naively switched the header name and also added the CGAL/boost/graph/graph_traits_Polyhedron_3.h header file which now seems to be necessary to interface with the Boost Graph Library.  I noticed also from examples in the CGAL documentation that one of my `typedefs` needed to be updated from

    typedef CGAL::AABB_polyhedron_triangle_primitive<K,Polyhedron> Primitive;

to

    typedef CGAL::AABB_face_graph_triangle_primitive<Polyhedron> Primitive;

And so far, that is the extent of what I have done.  But now I am getting two new errors at compile time, and I have no idea what they mean.  They seem to be internal to the various CGAL header files I am using:

    In file included from ./Particle.h:44:

    /opt/local/include/CGAL/AABB_tree.h:810:27: error: no matching conversion for functional-style cast from 'CGAL::internal::In_place_list_iterator<CGAL::HalfedgeDS_in_place_list_face<CGAL::I_Polyhedron_facet<My_facet<CGAL::HalfedgeDS_list_types<CGAL::Epick, CGAL::I_Polyhedron_derived_items_3<My_items>, std::__1::allocator<int> >, CGAL::Boolean_tag<true>, CGAL::Vector_3<CGAL::Epick> > > >, std::__1::allocator<CGAL::HalfedgeDS_in_place_list_face<CGAL::I_Polyhedron_facet<My_facet<CGAL::HalfedgeDS_list_types<CGAL::Epick, CGAL::I_Polyhedron_derived_items_3<My_items>, std::__1::allocator<int> >, CGAL::Boolean_tag<true>, CGAL::Vector_3<CGAL::Epick> > > > > >' to 'Primitive' (aka 'CGAL::AABB_face_graph_triangle_primitive<CGAL::Polyhedron_3<CGAL::Epick, My_items, HalfedgeDS_default, std::__1::allocator<int> >, CGAL::Default, CGAL::Boolean_tag<true>, CGAL::Boolean_tag<false> >')

                        m_primitives.push_back(Primitive(first));

    In file included from ./Particle.h:45:

    /opt/local/include/CGAL/AABB_traits.h:63:33: error: no matching member function for call to 'construct_shared_data'

    {m_traits.set_shared_data();}

              ^

At this point I am lost.  If anyone has experience switching from the deprecated header file to the new one, I will be grateful for any advice you might have about how I should proceed.

I can include the header file for the Particle class that seems to be the problem, but it is 3282 lines long and I'm not sure which part(s) I should include.
