wxString is always based on std::[w]string since 2c0c727f49 (Remove wx
own wxStringImpl implementation, 2022-11-16) and all containers use
standard containers by default too now -- and there is a separate
wxUSE_STD_CONTAINERS for this anyhow.
The only remaining use of wxUSE_STL was as the default value for
wxUSE_STD_STRING_CONV_IN_WXSTRING option, but it's not really needed
for this neither, and this option can just be set to 0 by default.
Also add wxUSE_CHAR_CONV_IN_WXSTRING which can now be set to 0 too to
disable all unwanted implicit conversions (even "safe" ones, to wide
strings, in addition to the unsafe ones to narrow strings that could be
already disabled with wxUSE_UNSAFE_WXSTRING_CONV) to allow people who
don't want to have any implicit conversions at all to do it.
Keep --enable-stl configure option for compatibility, but warn if it is
used to tell people that it is not needed any longer.
This architecture doesn't exist and is not supported since a very long
time, so stop testing for it and defining __ALPHA__ which was never used
anyhow.
It may still be supported for wxGTK, but we don't need to do anything
special for it, so we don't need to define __POWERPC__, which was never
used anyhow, neither.
Remove the port files and references to it from the common headers and
elsewhere.
Also remove GPE (GNOME PDA Environment) support as libgpewidget is
unmaintained since 2006 or so and has never been really used.
Use __WXGTK__ to test for any version of wxGTK now. Still define
__WXGTK20__ for compatibility, but always define it now and don't test
for it in the library code.
This port hasn't been updated for ages and is not used by anybody any
longer, so remove its code to facilitate maintenance.
Also remove references to this port from the documentation and most of
the other places (VMS-specific descrip.vms files still check for it
because it's not clear how to update them all), including configure.
Regenerate the latter and rebake all makefiles.
Finally document that this port is not available any longer.
New version of Doxygen interprets __foo__ as Markdown markup and
consumes the underscores, which mangles the identifier.
Prevent this from happening by escaping the leading underscore for all
occurrences of "__" outside of the code blocks, this seems to be the
least intrusive fix.
See #22671.
These functions have better names than the existing GetScaledXXX() ones,
so add them to be able to use them in the new code, even if we still
keep the old ones for compatibility.
Now wxMSW also stores the scale factor, even if it doesn't use it in its
GetScaledXXX(), so it doesn't seem useful to have this symbol for
distinguishing the platforms with and without bitmap scale factor
support, when we can just use wxHAS_DPI_INDEPENDENT_PIXELS instead in
the only place where this was used.
And as this symbol was added quite recently, in 2c1f4c002d (Add
wxBitmap::SetScaleFactor(), 2021-10-23), we can hopefully just remove it
without breaking any existing code, if we do it right now.
Using wxHAS_ prefix is more consistent with all the other similar
symbols, using wxHAVE_ was a mistake, that we have to pay for by
preserving the old name now (as it is actually already used in some code
outside of the library).
The fact that it's used also shows that it's better to document this
symbol, even if just to explain that it normally shouldn't be used, as
we can't really hide it anyhow.
We need to be able to change the scale factor of the bitmaps returned by
wxBitmapBundle::GetBitmap(), so add a function allowing to do this.
Also add wxHAS_BITMAP_SCALE_FACTOR allowing to check whether this
function actually does something non-trivial and explain in the docs
that GetScaleFactor() always returns 1 on the platforms where this
symbol is not defined.
Unlike the existing wxHAS_IMAGES_IN_RESOURCES constant defined only
under MSW, the new one is also defined under Mac and could be defined
for the other platforms/ports later (e.g. wxQt could probably support it
too).
It's unfortunate that two very similar constants are needed, but it
doesn't seem wise to change the meaning of the existing constant, as
this would change how the commonly used wxICON() and wxBITMAP() macros
behave and would break all our own samples that use them for their frame
icon but don't embed this icon into the bundle resources under Mac.
Do change the toolbar sample to use the new constant however, as this
one does include the bitmaps it uses in its bundle under Mac.
Using non-PCRE system regex library, which was the only build variant
when wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED was not defined, is not supported any more, so
simplify the code by not testing for it.
Add yet another wxDEPRECATED_XXX macro, this one simply expanding to
C++14 [[deprecated]] attribute if it's available and nothing otherwise.
It's a bit ridiculous to have so many different macros for deprecating
things, but the new one is useful because the standard attribute can be
used to deprecated enum elements, which is impossible with MSVC-specific
__declspec(deprecated).
Since OS X 10.12 it has been named macOS so it makes sense
to reference it in documentation as such, even when it
sometimes refers to older versions which were called (Mac) OS X.
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.
This is necessary because MSVS versions as old as 2010 support it, even
if they don't have full C++11 support and so don't define __cplusplus
appropriately.
Extract the existing check for nullptr from wx/strvararg.h to wx/defs.h
in order to allow reusing it.
It defaults to 1, but can be set to 0 to force using the generic version
of the control even under GTK or Mac, where the native version is used
by default.
This can, unfortunately, be useful to work around various but multiple
native control limitations.
This symbol can be predefined to use the libraries built with "vc14x" as
the compiler prefix. This can be useful to reuse the same binaries for
all ABI-compatible VC 14.x versions: 14.0 (MSVS 2015), 14.1 (2017) and
14.2 (2019).
Extend the description of library selection symbols used with MSVC to a
more general discussion of MSVC-specific symbols and document the
symbols affecting compiler prefix in this section too.
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.
Although WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_x_y macros were mentioned in the backwards
compatibility overview, it seems appropriate to also document them with all
the other macros on the page dedicated to them.
Cocoa has been the default toolkit in wxWidgets for a long time. There is really no good reason to use Carbon in 2016 and this removes a lot of unused and unmaintained code.
This symbol can now be predefined to avoid conflicts with mode_t definition in
wx/filefn.h when wxWidgets is used in applications also using another library
which also defines mode_t.

Windows CE doesn't seem to be supported by Microsoft any longer. Last CE
release was in early 2013 and the PocketPC and Smartphone targets supported by
wxWidgets are long gone.
The build files where already removed in an earlier cleanup this commit
removes all files, every #ifdef and all documentation regarding the Windows CE
support.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/81
