projectGenerator does not build on vs2010

[kylemcdonald]

perhaps i'm doing something wrong? trying to build the pg gives the following errors: http://pastebin.com/QFpKzksk

it looks like it's all about __dynamic_cast_tag and ofPtr

it looks like this commit by @tgfrerer broke vs2010 7712377

[arturoc]

this comes from a PR i merged some days ago: #1313

@tgfrerer can you take a look? i think it's probably related with the fact that vs2010 already uses the c++11 implementation not the tr1 so probably something different has to be done?

[kylemcdonald]

also, for anyone hacking on this right now, it's possible to just comment out that chunk of code referring to tr1 and then the PG will compile OK.

that was a recent PR closed by @arturoc

Auweh! my bad, sorry.

it seems to boil down to "__dynamic_cast_tag' : not being in the namespace of std::tr1 in visual studio's implementation of std::tr1

I assumed that std::tr1 looked the same on Windows/VS as it would on linux / os x, where I tested. I don't have a windows box to dig into the visual studio header files, sadly. I should have tested on Windows though, since it's such a low-level element of the system, sorry.

Let's revoke that pull request / remove that addition for now?

Proposed fix: #1341

This compiles but i'm not sure what the original was doing, so i'm entirely sure that this is doing the same thing...but looks likely

[tgfrerer]

@gameoverhack both "__dynamic_cast_tag" and "_Dynamic_tag" are afik used as flags, so that should work fine.

I'm a bit worried that I couldn't find a standard (and possibly more future-proof) implementation of dynamic_pointer_cast.
