DESCRPITON:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mod_*.cpp files contain handlers for tags. These files are modules - they contain
|
||
|
|
one wxTagModule class and it's OnInit() method is called from wxApp's init method.
|
||
|
|
The module is called even if you only link it into the executable, so everything
|
||
|
|
seems wonderful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem is that we have these modules in LIBRARY and mod_*.cpp files contain
|
||
|
|
no method nor class which is known out of the module. So the linker won't
|
||
|
|
link these .o/.obj files into executable because it detected that it is not used
|
||
|
|
by the program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To workaround this I introduced set of macros FORCE_LINK_ME and FORCE_LINK. These
|
||
|
|
macros are generic and are not limited to mod_*.cpp files. You may find them quite
|
||
|
|
useful somewhere else...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to use them:
|
||
|
|
let's suppose you want to always link file foo.cpp and that you have module
|
||
|
|
always.cpp that is certainly always linked (e.g. the one with main() function
|
||
|
|
or htmlwin.cpp in wxHtml library).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Place FORCE_LINK_ME(foo) somewhere in foo.cpp and FORCE_LINK(foo) somewhere
|
||
|
|
in always.cpp
|
||
|
|
See mod_*.cpp and htmlwin.cpp for example :-)
