        <div dir="ltr">Dear John,<br>
          <br>
          Thank you for your efforts in setting up the GitHub
          repository.<br>
          <br>
          In the folders, I think that the "CD" folders may not be
          necessary because we have restarted with WDs and the CDs are
          old versions of the WDs.<br>
          I submitted the CDs last year, but they were not approved as
          CD texts, and so I resubmitted them as WDs.<br>
          We should work on the WD texts.<br>
          How about deleting the CD folders?<br>
          In addition, if WD-originals are old versions, it would be OK
          to delete them.<br>
          <br>
          In summary, I think that the folders should be as follows:<br>
          <br>
          ./ISO-IEC19777/ISO-IEC19777-3/ISO-IEC19777-3v3.3-WD<br>
          ./ISO-IEC19777/ISO-IEC19777-4/ISO-IEC19777-4v3.3-WD<br>

              <p>Myeong,</p>
              <p>Thanks for your efforts on the C/C#/C++ standards!</p>
              <p>My understanding from Don is that we want the current
                WD versions of the 19777-3, 19777-4 and 19777-5
                standards checked into GitHub, somewhere below this

                (If you need assistance, let me know, it's quite
                confusing.  We'll probably have to do things like rename
                the folders once unpacked from the zips and move them
                from).  Issues with the standards should go into Mantis.
                Google Drive/Docs, while important for private sharing,
                are not suitable for group editing of standards.  
                GitHub has adequate protections in the X3D repository. 
                With your permission, I will check your Google shared
                zips into GitHub unpacked.  Probably in the folders here
                that you identify:</p>

              <p>I will enter a Mantis ticket for these changes.<br>

              <p>===========================================================<br>
              </p>
              <p>Secondly, according to Don, we need to move discussions
                to the x3d-public mailing list.  If issues are
                sensitive, then there's the x3d mailing list.  Here's
                how to subscribe to x3d-public: <a
                  href="http://www.web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org"
                  target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org</a><br>
              </p>
              <p>Issues with source code artifacts should be can be
                recorded here: <a
                  href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/discussion/"
                  target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/discussion/</a></p>
              <p>Source code artifacts should go here in addition:
                <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/"
                  target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/</a> 
                I can facilitate uploads to there.  Myeong, with your
                permission, I will archive the old code (many months
                old) to "legacy" under the main x3d-code folder.</p>
              <p>If you have any open questions, please post to the
                x3d-public list (respond to this email).</p>
              <p>I don't believe source code changes require Mantis.<br>

                    <p>Don, Myeong, Doug,</p>
                    <p>I noticed that there are no virtual methods in
                      the C++ spec SAI I got (examples, yes, except for
                      ~SAIExample5()) on <a
                        href="http://drive.google.com" target="_blank"
                        moz-do-not-send="true">drive.google.com</a>.  I
                      do not think they are necessary, but may be useful
                      when defining subclasses for people who want to
                      subclass from the SAI abstract and concrete
                      nodes.  <a
href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.geeksforgeeks.org%2Fvirtual-function-cpp%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cbrutzman%40nps.edu%7C4e6ee194cc544357635908d964118d12%7C6d936231a51740ea9199f7578963378e%7C0%7C0%7C637650850010851004%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=EkRmxJLy9eZ1jjBqCZ%2FS99OiG9B9NcBGWff6ixidzNA%3D&reserved=0"

                      Note that most methods are virtual in Java,
                      without the keyword.  I think virtual methods are
                      slower than regular methods, last I heard.  But
                      I'm pretty sure all destructors should be
                      virtual?  I've forgotten. Some discussion whether
                      destructors should be present in the spec is
                      welcome. The virtual destructor ensures that the
                      superclass destructor is not called.</p>
                    <p>I think it would be useful to have Doug Sanden
                      review the abstract and concrete class and structs
                      before making big decisions.</p>
                    <p>I am also unsure why the first parameter to many
                      C function pointer declarations is void* instead
                      of passing a pointer to a struct type?</p>
                    <p>In all cases, C/C++/C# it might be useful for
                      setter functions and members to return this or
                      *this, instead of void.   We need set functions to
                      return this for creating builders I'm fairly sure.
                      (In C SAI, the first parameter is called this,
                      it's not a keyword that I know of).</p>
                    <p>I'm glad I am reviewing this!  We'll see if
                      anything else pops into my head after I send the
                      message!</p>
