Don't use the standard containers by default.
Revert the change of wxUSE_STD_CONTAINERS to 1 by default as this introduces more incompatibilities which risk hamper upgrading to 3.0 unnecessarily. Update the documentation to better explain why do the non-standard container classes exist in wxWidgets and, especially, that they shouldn't be used when possible. Also document the differences between the normal and STL containers build in the manual. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@67735 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

Use of STL containers by default
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
wxWidgets uses STL containers for the implementation of wxVector, wxList,
|
||||
wxDList and wxStack by default since 2.9.2 release. While the STL-based
|
||||
versions are mostly compatible with the old ones, there are some differences:
|
||||
|
||||
- wxList::compatibility_iterator must be used instead of wxList::Node* when
|
||||
iterating over the list contents. The compatibility_iterator class has the
|
||||
same semantics as a Node pointer but it is an object and not a pointer, so
|
||||
you need to write
|
||||
|
||||
for ( wxWindowList::compatibility_iterator it = list.GetFirst();
|
||||
it;
|
||||
it = it->GetNext() )
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
instead of the old
|
||||
|
||||
for ( wxWindowList::Node *n = list.GetFirst(); n; n = n->GetNext() )
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
- wxSortedArrayString and wxArrayString are separate classes now and the
|
||||
former doesn't derive from the latter. If you need to convert a sorted array
|
||||
to a normal one, you must copy all the elements. Alternatively, you may
|
||||
avoid the use of wxSortedArrayString by using a normal array and calling its
|
||||
Sort() method when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
- WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT(bool) cannot be used because of the differences in
|
||||
std::vector<bool> specialization compared with the generic std::vector<>
|
||||
class. Please either use std::vector<bool> directly or use an integer array
|
||||
instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally notice that you may set wxUSE_STD_CONTAINERS to 0 when compiling
|
||||
wxWidgets to use the non-STL containers.
