I apologize; if you think that's what I was suggesting, I must not have made
myself clear.
No need to a appologise, I have to set the bar reasonable high for
what gets included in the core OSG to avoid it becoming a bloated. I
already consider it too bloated so any additions need to be well
considered, especially the nearer the core OSG one gets.
There is a need to find nodes, but there are also many ways to search
for nodes, and its also pretty simple to write a visitor to do this
job. For a find visitor to make it into the core then it needs to
general purpose enough to be used by a wide range of users for a wide
range of uses.
A specific find a getName()=="something" visitor doesn't fit this
bill, if it did I would have been included long long ago. The issues
haven't changed, FindNamedNodeVisitor hasn't suddenly become more
useful, or more generic, or more difficult to write.
A templated FindNodeVisitor could fit the bill though, and a simple
off the shelf functor could make it be a FindNamedNodeVisitor very
easily, and crucially it would be far more resusable.
Robert.
