Package: libwxgtk2.6-dbg
Version: 2.6.3.2.1.1
Severity: normal
Even with libwxgtk2.6-dbg installed and
g++ `wx-config --debug --cxxflags` `wx-config --debug --libs` ...
it does not create a working wxdebug environment with things like
wxUSE_MEMORY_TRACING defined.
/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-debug-2.6/wx/setup.h:
#define wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT 0
#define wxUSE_MEMORY_TRACING 0
#define wxUSE_GLOBAL_MEMORY_OPERATORS 0
#define wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS 0
These suggest that while the library wasn't stripped, it was not compiled
for debugging as it should have been.
try the sample example/samples/memcheck.cpp. Even though it is a debugging
example, it does nothing even after you fix the makefile to use
"wx-config --debug" instead of "wx-config"

All the useful debugging features are enabled. Don't use these, they
are braindead, reporting false results and infecting clean code with
messy workarounds to avoid them.

So we can probably remove this one along with the others too.
Far better tools for this job exist, on every platform supported
by wx. Use them if you are serious about double checking your
memory management.
cheers,
