Does anybody do it in practice? Last time I looked (1998?) moc was
absolutely mandatory in practice if not in theory for Qt.

OTOH it's perfectly possible to write the GUI code by hand (I do it more
often than I use XRC probably).

If you know of any places in wx code base where non standard C++ is used,
please let us know and we'll try to fix it. For the record, I'm not aware
of anything like this.

I think what he meant was that where Standard C++ techniques
(inclusive of using the standard library) could be used in wxWidgets,
it is, and in a considerable number of places for that matter, not
used. However, as far as I can see, there's nothing wrong with that as
the integration of Standard C++ techniques and wxWidgets seems
manageable enough.

Just my two cents'
