Testing with this simple code:
#declare Texture00 = texture {
pigment { }
finish { Finish00 }
}
get the following warning with
3.7.0 and 3.7.1 as caught by the parser:
File 'test.pov' line 2: Parse Warning: Pigment type unspecified or not 1st item.
Jim, could you please be more specific about the error details? Some sample code might come in handy here.
The issue is a TODO in line 345 of pigment.cpp.
To be more specific, the issue for the TODO is that there is no line number associated with the warning as it is in a post processing function. So the line number needs to be passed around, then the warning can be re-enabled in a meaningful way. Previously the line number was a global variable, and hence getting this information was no big deal. A possible solution is to move the warning to the parser code directly, and look for a pigment after an object has been fully processed. If this is simpler - no idea. Either way, it was non-trivial, so when converting the code to multi-threading, I left this out initially.
