Hi Phil: I have implemented the OLD_WXWIDGETS option as of commit bae1161, but there is one remaining issue with it that I need your help to fix.
The old wxwidgets device driver appears to work as well as ever for the -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON case, but if you build the wxwidgets and wxPLplotDemo targets then attempt to run examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo you gets lots of run-time error messages such as plmkstrm: Cannot create new stream plsstrm: Illegal stream number -1, must be in [0, 100] plsstrm: Illegal stream number -1, must be in [0, 100] plsstrm: Illegal stream number -1, must be in [0, 100] plsstrm: Illegal stream number -1, must be in [0, 100] .... If I change to the old version of wxwidgets before you introduced your changes, i.e., git checkout 924b06ccffee1f the above test works fine. So apparently there are backwards incompatible changes in C++ support for streams in the master tip which the old wxwidgets code, i.e., ./bindings/wxwidgets/deprecated_wxPLplotwindow.cpp ./bindings/wxwidgets/deprecated_wxPLplotstream.h.in ./bindings/wxwidgets/deprecated_wxPLplotwindow.h ./bindings/wxwidgets/deprecated_wxPLplotstream.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets_app.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets_dc.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets_gc.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets_agg.cpp ./drivers/deprecated_wxwidgets.h ./examples/c++/deprecated_wxPLplotDemo.cpp is not compatible with. For example, I noticed a call to sdevdata in bindings/wxwidgets/wxPLplotstream.cpp that is not in bindings/deprecated_wxwidgets/wxPLplotstream.cpp, but it turns out putting that call in the deprecated version does not solve the issue so that change cannot be the entire story with differences in C++ stream support for master tip. As a matter of urgency (since getting OLD_WXWIDGETS=ON to work is release critical) could you figure out what needs to be changed in the above files to make them compatible with C++ stream support for master tip?
