Windows pcl_registration project build errors: error C2487 'pcl::Registration<...>::setInputSource(...): member of dll interface class may not be declared with dll interface

[magro11]

This is a similar issue than #426:

When building the current master of PCL with MSVC2010, 32bit, the pcl_registration project fails to build due to the error message indicated in the title.

I tried to find the problem and noticed that (similar to #426, too) deleting the line

using Registration<PointSource, PointTarget, Scalar>::setInputSource;

in icp.h (class IterativeClosestPoint) solved the issue and the project compiled properly. The problem seems to be that setInputSource(...) in the base class pcl::Registration is a virtual function, this does not work with the using... command. For other methods that are not virtual the using command does not cause any compiler errors.

What is the initial intention of the using command in icp.h? Is it allowed to simply delete the indicated line?

Cheers

Can not say anything about the intention, but it should be safe to remove it. Note that for a sibling function setInputTarget() there is no using declaration whatsoever and it works fine.

Please send a pull request with the change. Thanks!
