While we have to keep these conversions enabled by default, they are very dangerous as they can result in silent data loss on any system not using a locale with UTF-8 encoding, i.e. always under MSW. Allow mitigating this by defining wxNO_UNSAFE_WXSTRING_CONV when compiling the application code using the library, which makes these conversions invisible to the user code, and so can be used without recompiling the library. Also add wxUSE_UNSAFE_WXSTRING_CONV which can be set to 0 when compiling the library to disable these conversions globally for all applications using it. Closes #11830.

|
macros except for the @c wxUSE_XXX variety is defined if the corresponding
|

wxOSX is the successor of the venerable wxMac, it currently exists in two
|
|
versions: Cocoa for the desktop and a very early iPhone port. To summarize:
|
|
|
|
@li If you want to test for wxOSX on the desktop, use
|
|
<tt>__WXOSX_MAC__</tt>.
|
|
@li If you want to test for wxOSX on the iPhone, use
|
|
<tt>__WXOSX_IPHONE__</tt>.
|
|
@li If you want to test for any port under OS X, including, for
|
|
example, wxGTK and also wxBase, use <tt>__DARWIN__</tt> (see below).
|
|
|
|
The convention is to use the <tt>__WX</tt> prefix for these
|
|
symbols, although this has not always been followed.

@section page_cppconst_featuretests Feature Tests
|
|
|
|
Some library features may not be always available even if they were selected
|
|
by the user. To make it possible to check if this is the case, the library
|
|
predefines the symbols in the form @c wxHAS_FEATURE. Unlike
|
|
@c wxUSE_FEATURE symbols which are defined by the library user (directly
|
|
in @c setup.h or by running configure script) and which must be always
|
|
defined as either 0 or 1, the @c wxHAS symbols are only defined if
|
|
the corresponding feature is available and not defined at all otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Currently the following symbols exist:
|
|
|
|
@beginDefList
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_3STATE_CHECKBOX, Defined if wxCheckBox supports wxCHK_3STATE
|
|
flag, i.e. is capable of showing three states and not only the usual two.
|
|
Currently defined for almost all ports.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_ATOMIC_OPS, Defined if wxAtomicInc() and wxAtomicDec() functions
|
|
have an efficient (CPU-specific) implementation. Notice that the functions
|
|
themselves are always available but can be prohibitively slow to use when
|
|
implemented in a generic way, using a critical section.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_BITMAPTOGGLEBUTTON, Defined in @c wx/tglbtn.h if
|
|
wxBitmapToggleButton class is available in addition to wxToggleButton.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_CONFIG_TEMPLATE_RW, Defined if the currently used compiler
|
|
supports template Read() and Write() methods in wxConfig.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FILES, Defined if wxFile supports files more than 4GB in
|
|
size (notice that you must include @c wx/filefn.h before testing for this
|
|
symbol).}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FFILES, Defined if wxFFile supports files more than 4GB in
|
|
size (notice that you must include @c wx/filefn.h before testing for this
|
|
symbol).}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_LONG_LONG_T_DIFFERENT_FROM_LONG, Defined if compiler supports a
|
|
64 bit integer type (available as @c wxLongLong_t) and this type is
|
|
different from long. Notice that, provided wxUSE_LONGLONG is not turned
|
|
off, some 64 bit type is always available to wxWidgets programs and this
|
|
symbol only indicates a presence of such primitive type. It is useful to
|
|
decide whether some function should be overloaded for both
|
|
<code>long</code> and <code>long long</code> types.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_MULTIPLE_FILEDLG_FILTERS, Defined if wxFileDialog supports multiple ('|'-separated) filters.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_NATIVE_WINDOW, Defined if wxNativeWindow class is available.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_IMAGES_IN_RESOURCES, Defined if <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_(Windows)">
|
|
Windows resource files</a> or OS/2 resource files are available on the current platform.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_POWER_EVENTS, Defined if wxPowerEvent are ever generated on the current platform.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_RADIO_MENU_ITEMS,
|
|
Defined if the current port supports radio menu items (see wxMenu::AppendRadioItem).}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_RAW_BITMAP, Defined if direct access to bitmap data using the classes in @c wx/rawbmp.h is supported.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES, Defined if raw key codes (see wxKeyEvent::GetRawKeyCode are supported.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED, Defined if advanced syntax is available in wxRegEx.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_TASK_BAR_ICON, Defined if wxTaskBarIcon is available on the current platform.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_MODE_T, Defined when wxWidgets defines @c mode_t typedef for the
|
|
compilers not providing it. If another library used in a wxWidgets
|
|
application, such as ACE (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html), also
|
|
defines @c mode_t, this symbol can be predefined after including the other
|
|
library header, such as @c "ace/os_include/sys/os_types.h" in ACE case,
|
|
but before including any wxWidgets headers, to prevent a definition
|
|
conflict.}

@section page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h Library Selection for MSVC
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special @c wx/setup.h file for this
|
|
compiler in @c include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the
|
|
wxWidgets libraries using MSVC-specific pragmas which usually is much more
|
|
convenient than manually specifying the libraries list in all of the project
|
|
configurations. However sometimes linking with all the libraries is not
|
|
desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where
|
|
the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link
|
|
with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
|
|
|
|
- wxNO_ADV_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_AUI_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_HTML_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_MEDIA_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_NET_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_PROPGRID_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_QA_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_RICHTEXT_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_WEBVIEW_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_XML_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_REGEX_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_EXPAT_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_JPEG_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_PNG_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_TIFF_LIB
|
|
- wxNO_ZLIB_LIB
|
|
|
|
Notice that the base library is always included and the core is always included
|
|
for the GUI applications (i.e. those which don't define @c wxUSE_GUI as 0).
|
|
|
|
If the makefiles have been used to build the libraries from source and the @c CFG
|
|
variable has been set to specify a different output path for that particular
|
|
configuration of build then the @c wxCFG preprocessor symbol should be set in
|
|
the project that uses wxWidgets to the same value as the @c CFG variable in
|
|
order for the correct @c wx/setup.h file to automatically be included for that
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section page_cppconst_compatibility Compatibility Macros
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets always tries to preserve source backwards compatibility, however
|
|
sometimes existing symbols may need to be removed. Except in exceedingly rare
|
|
cases, this happens in several steps: first, the symbol is marked as
|
|
deprecated, so that using it results in a warning when using the common
|
|
compilers (e.g. any non-ancient version of MSVC, gcc or clang) in some
|
|
wxWidgets release @c x.y. It can still be used, however the warnings indicate
|
|
all the places in your code which will need to be updated in the future. If
|
|
your code doesn't use any deprecated symbols or you have already fixed all
|
|
their occurrences, you may change @c WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_x_y to 0 to ensure
|
|
they can't be used -- however its default value is still 1 at this time.
|
|
|
|
At some point in the future, the next stable wxWidgets release @c x.y+2 changes
|
|
the default @c WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_x_y value to 0, meaning that now the symbol
|
|
becomes unavailable by default and if you still want to be able to compile the
|
|
code using it, you need to explicitly change @c WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_x_y to 1
|
|
when building the library.
|
|
|
|
And, finally, the symbol is completely removed from the library in the next
|
|
stable version after this, i.e. @c x.y+4. @c WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_x_y itself is
|
|
removed as well at this time, as it is not useful any longer.
|
|
|
|
According to this general rule, currently, i.e. in wxWidgets 3.2, the following
|
|
two symbols are defined: @c WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8, as 0, and @c
|
|
WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_3_0, as 1. Please see @ref overview_backwardcompat for even
|
|
more details.
|
|
|
|
@beginDefList
|
|
@itemdef{WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8,
|
|
defined as 0 by default meaning that symbols existing in wxWidgets 2.8
|
|
but deprecated in 3.0 release are not available by default. It can be
|
|
changed to 1 to make them available, but it is strongly recommended to
|
|
update the code using them instead.}
|
|
@itemdef{WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_3_0,
|
|
defined as 1 by default meaning that symbols existing in wxWidgets 3.0
|
|
but deprecated since then are still available. It can be changed to 1
|
|
to ensure that no deprecated symbols are used accidentally.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxDIALOG_UNIT_COMPATIBILITY,
|
|
wxMSW-specific setting which can be set to 1 to make
|
|
wxWindow::GetCharWidth() and wxWindow::GetCharHeight() more compatible
|
|
with old wxWidgets versions. Changing it is not recommended.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxUSE_UNSAFE_WXSTRING_CONV,
|
|
this option determines if unsafe implicit conversions of wxString to
|
|
@c char* or @c std::string (depending on whether @c wxUSE_STL is 0 or
|
|
1) are defined. It is set to 1 by default for compatibility reasons,
|
|
however it is recommended to set it to 0 for the new projects. See
|
|
also @c wxNO_UNSAFE_WXSTRING_CONV below for an alternative way of
|
|
disabling these unsafe conversions not requiring rebuilding the

|
library.}

this symbol is not defined by wxWidgets itself, but can be defined by
