Thanks Ivan, We explicitly referenced the HFA driver as this is one which is commonly used and we are familiar with the source code having submitted a number of patches for the driver.
We plan to provide default implementations of the new functions which will call the existing Get/Set functions (note the change so all functions are virtual) so all existing drivers will support the new functions but without the potential performance benefit. This also means we won't be breaking existing code, other than requiring a recompile due to the change to virtual functions. Unfortunately, we don't know much about the the other drivers you refer to so would suggest it would be best for the developers of those drivers to update them in due course if they feel it is necessary and would provide a significant benefit over the default implementation which will be provided. Best wishes, Sam and Pete _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
