wxWidgets Discussion Forum

I'd guess it's more a matter that they don't have the time to do much user support (after all, most questions here are basic questions, not implementation details) And what about you? Don't you agree wxWidgets would benefit from an accurate and up-to-date list of all supported platforms? Don't you ...

You mean you're in separate ivory towers?

That's great, I guess Qt doesn't have to worry then.

I'm complaining because I think it's a weakness that wxWidgets doesn't clearly state in an easy to find place exactly what platforms are supported. That's the first thing anyone considering wxWidgets is looking for isn't it? You spend lots of time developing and porting wxWidgets but then you can't ...

Well, by claiming to support everything one is in fact not supporting anything. Have a look at this. It's Oracle's list of Java supported platforms, http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/system-configurations.html I think wxWidgets would benefit from the same level of detail. Precise informa...

What 64 bit operating systems are supported?

That's good to hear.

What version of OpenGL is supported?

Thank you.

Just because it was discussed. Here's a recent article about the different coding styles between Java and C/C++.

Today I'm pretty sure that even careful memory managment by hand is less efficient than what a GC can accomplish Now you made me laugh, I am currently in a company were our product is developing using java, I agree that java offers much more than C++ (just have a look at java.util.concurrent) but I...

auto_ptr is not a real smartpointer. Auto_ptr is a real smart-pointer and it's even the only smart-pointer that's in the C++ standard library. It has a quite limited use though because of its special copy semantics but that's another story. Yes Boost has further smart-pointers (of which some are su...

I agree about the GUI and multithreading. Can't say that I miss GC though, with auto_ptr and RAII I don't see the need. Well, if you want to make full use of the OO part of C++ then you need a consistent way of handling object pointers. In my view using smart pointers is a very tedious way of doing...

Book recommendations? Can anyone recommend any Java books that go into the sort of detail an old C++'er would want? By that, I mean information about the cost of using certain containers and language constructs, and explanations of the type you find in Scott Meyers excellent "Effective C++&quo...

Well even if Java has been improved, the application can still be the problem if it has been coded badly. It's hard to pinpoint the problem with so little information. It may very well be that the PC doesn't have enougth resources, or something with the JVM version or, or, or. I can only say that I...

I'm just curious how Java can perform so well in the benchmarks, while Java apps perform so badly on my computer. Java has improved a lot lately. I'm using Java version 6.0 to run Eclipse (a popular IDE) on a 6 years old PC and it's great. I think Java now is fast and slick enougth for most mainstr...

Well it looks like I end up using OpenGL after all. It seems to be more well-charted territory. I've identified these packages that supposedly is working with wxWidgets, http://g3d-cpp.sourceforge.net/ http://openscenegraph.sourceforge.net/index.html Please feel free to comment and thank you for you...
