Refactor vtkDebugLeaks construction.
David C. Lonie authored 
vtkDebugLeaks registers instance by class name, which worked well for
many years. However, now that we have more templated code, this is
becoming difficult. For instance, "template <typename T> vtkBuffer<T>"
would be identified as "vtkBuffer<T>" when registering with
vtkDebugLeaks, but deregistered with the compiler dependent
typeid(vtkBuffer<T>).name() string returned from GetClassName().

This patch moves vtkDebugLeaks registrations to the method
vtkObjectBase::InitializeObjectBase(), which must be called after the
vtkObjectBase is instantiated. This ensures that objects are
registered using the same string as when they are destroyed. In
general, a call to "new vtkSomeClass" must be followed by a call to
InitializeObjectBase on the new instance. The common ::New()
implementation macros in vtkObjectFactory will ensure that
registration happens correctly.

Two notable exceptions are vtkCommand and vtkInformationKey
subclasses. These do not require any specific handling for
vtkDebugLeaks registration.

VTK - The Visualization Toolkit

Introduction

VTK is an open-source software system for image processing, 3D graphics, volume rendering and visualization. VTK includes many advanced algorithms (e.g., surface reconstruction, implicit modelling, decimation) and rendering techniques (e.g., hardware-accelerated volume rendering, LOD control).

VTK is used by academicians for teaching and research; by government research institutions such as Los Alamos National Lab in the US or CINECA in Italy; and by many commercial firms who use VTK to build or extend products.

The origin of VTK is with the textbook "The Visualization Toolkit, an Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics" originally published by Prentice Hall and now published by Kitware, Inc. (Third Edition ISBN 1-930934-07-6). VTK has grown (since its initial release in 1994) to a world-wide user base in the commercial, academic, and research communities.

Reporting Bugs

If you have found a bug:

  1. If you have a patch, please read the CONTRIBUTING.md document.

  2. Otherwise, please join the one of the VTK Mailing Lists and ask about the expected and observed behaviors to determine if it is really a bug.

  3. Finally, if the issue is not resolved by the above steps, open an entry in the VTK Issue Tracker.
