This allows to easily test for the native control existence and also whether wxGenericAnimationCtrl is really different from wxAnimationCtrl. It also allows to avoid explicit check for wxGTK in common code.

These are preprocessor symbols used in the wxWidgets source, grouped by
|
|
category (and sorted by alphabetical order inside each category). All of these
|
|
macros except for the @c wxUSE_XXX variety is defined if the corresponding
|
|
condition is @true and undefined if it isn't, so they should be always tested
|
|
using @ifdef_ and not @if_.

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_ANIMATIONCTRL, Defined if native wxAnimationCtrl class is being used (this symbol only exists in wxWidgets 3.1.4 and later).}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_NATIVE_DATAVIEWCTRL, Defined if native wxDataViewCtrl class is being used (this symbol only exists in wxWidgets 3.1.4 and later).}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_NATIVE_WINDOW, Defined if wxNativeWindow class is available.}
|
|
@itemdef{wxHAS_NULLPTR_T, Defined if the currently used compiler supports C++11 @c nullptr.}
|
|
@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_WINDOW_LABEL_IN_STATIC_BOX, Defined if wxStaticBox::Create()
|
|
overload taking @c wxWindow* instead of the text label 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,

@section page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h MSVC-specific Symbols
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
By default, the pragmas used in this file to actually link with wxWidgets
|
|
libraries suppose that the libraries are located in @c vc_lib or @c vc_dll
|
|
directory which is used by default. However when using multiple MSVC versions,
|
|
or when using the @ref plat_msw_binaries "official binaries", the libraries are
|
|
in a directory containing the compiler version number, e.g. @c vc140_dll. To
|
|
make linking work in this case, you must predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION as @c
|
|
vc140 <em>before</em> include @c wx/setup.h file, i.e. typically in the MSVS
|
|
project options. Alternatively, you can predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION_AUTO symbol
|
|
(without any value), which means that the appropriate compiler version should
|
|
be used automatically, e.g. "vc100" for VC 10 (MSVS 2010), "vc140" for VC 14
|
|
(MSVS 2015) etc. Additionally, VC 14 is a special case as it has 3 minor
|
|
versions: VC 14.0, 14.1 and 14.2, corresponding to MSVS 2015, 2017 and 2019;
|
|
that are ABI-compatible with each other. Due to this, it can also be useful to
|
|
reuse the single build of wxWidgets with all versions of the compiler and this
|
|
is supported if @c wxMSVC_VERSION_ABI_COMPAT is defined: the compiler prefix
|
|
"vc14x" is used in this case.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@subsection page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h_no_libs Library Selection for MSVC
|
|
|
|
As explained above, MSVC users don't need to explicitly specify wxWidgets
|
|
libraries to link with, as this is done by @c wx/setup.h. However sometimes
|
|
linking with all the libraries, as is done by default, 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_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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
@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.}
