Have you looked at the wx developer guidelines lately? Looks like they want nothing from after the ARM: 1. Don't use C++ templates 2. Don't use C++ exceptions 3. Don't use RTTI 4. Don't use namespaces 5. Don't use STL 6. Don't declare variables inside for() 7. Don't use nested classes 8. Don't use new logical operators keywords ~ http://www.wxwidgets.org/develop/standard.htm
I have also considered using WxWidgets and rejected it after seeing that page.
This doc is obviously obsolete wrt the development codebase, and the direction that it is taking.
Can you share a URL? I've just looked at their "Latest manual build from the CVS online" at http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin.htm and it seems to entirely follow those guidelines, with their own home-made string, list and vector classes, a "WX" prefix instead of a namespace, sentinel values to indicate errors, and so on. If this is out of date that is great news, but they are keeping their new stuff well hidden!
FWIW I have been using STL quite satisfactorily with wxWidgets for several years.
If you have a wrapper layer that converts WxString<->std::string, WxList<->std::list etc., please share it! Regards, Phil.
