Should the mapper `update()` methods be deprecated?
The classes MultipleCodimMultipleGeomTypeMapper
and SingleCodimSingleGeomTypeMapper
have an update()
method, which recomputes the internal state. That method dates from a long time ago, when GridView
objects had reference semantics. Nowadays, GridView
objects have value semantics, however; updating a mapper therefore requires telling it about the new GridView
. This is what @carsten.graeser implemented in !487 (merged).
This leaves the question of what to do with the old methods (update
without argument). Should they be deprecated? Or do they still serve a purpose?
