[Liblas-devel] Throwing out_of_range exceptions on read

[Howard Butler]

Here is what I propose for a LASPoint::Validate() method:

bool LASPoint::Validate() const
{

     if (eScanAngleRankMin > this->GetScanAngleRank() || this- 
 >GetScanAngleRank() > eScanAngleRankMax)
         throw std::out_of_range("scan angle rank out of range");

     if (this->GetFlightLineEdge() > 0x01)
         throw std::out_of_range("edge of flight line out of range");

     if (this->GetScanDirection() > 0x01)
         throw std::out_of_range("scan direction flag out of range");

     if (this->GetNumberOfReturns() > 0x07)
         throw std::out_of_range("number of returns out of range");

     if (this->GetReturnNumber() > 0x07)
         throw std::out_of_range("return number out of range");

     if (this->GetTime() < 0.0)
         throw std::out_of_range("time value is < 0 ");

     if (this->GetClassification() > 31)
         throw std::out_of_range("classification value is > 31");


     return true;
}

Thanks.  Glad it is working out well for you.
