Remove the assertion statement(s), and try again. There are 3 different functions that can be used to compute the Minkowski sum. Perhaps one will work.

If none work compute the union of the Minkowski sums of  the line segments that comprise the polyline and the polygon. Here you will have to compute the Minkowski sum of a single segment, which is a degenerate polygon, and another polygon. Again, try all 3 versions and remove the assertion statements if necessary.

Hi Efi,

An exception is raised for that type of degenerate polygon.

    CGAL_precondition (pgn.is_simple());

The first test in "bool is_simple_polygon(...)" checks for duplicate
vertices.
Which our degenerate polygon fails.
(Then I think it tests for intersecting edges.)
