Every wx releases something works slightly different...
I'm trying to use wx 2.9.4 (installed with the wxPython distribution)
Configured OK, building woes:
static int wxCALLBACK MyCompareFunction( long aItem1, long aItem2, long
aSortData )
{
wxString* component1Name = (wxString*) aItem1;
wxString* component2Name = (wxString*) aItem2;
return StrNumCmp( *component1Name, *component2Name,
INT_MAX, true );
}
StrNumCmp takes two const wxChar* so I presume the idea was to use some kind of
internal autoconversion of wxString to const wxChar* (I don't know if it
exists... where it a std::string you would have to use c_str() or similar).
However g++ spit out this:
error: cannot convert 'wxString' to 'const wxChar* {aka const wchar_t*}' for
argument '1' to 'int StrNumCmp(const wxChar*, const wxChar*, int, bool)'
... now, I know that this can be fixed using GetChars, but WHY it worked on 2.8
and nobody else with 2.9 encountered this???
Another 'funny' thing: I have in my text drawing routine used the '\' character
to do an escape to the Technical Set 1. So I have an int called escape_base
containing the offset if the escape is in effect. The incriminated line is:
AsciiCode = aText.GetChar( ptr ) + escape_base;
AsciiCode is an int too, BTW. In its holyness g++ complains:
error: ambiguous overload for 'operator+' in '(&
aText)->wxString::GetChar(((size_t)ptr)) + escape_base
So we have a wxUniChar (in 2.9 it's a class!) and an int. However the rules for
conversion are... uhm... involved... so there are 18 (EIGHTEEN) fscking
operator + to choose from... so I need to 'clarify' using
int(aText.GetChar(ptr))
Hate hate hate
Does it happen only to me???
