Hi Walter!


I have updated my local DMC to 8.45.4 (from 8.45.2) and found following problems in
test builds of wxWidgets I maintain. Note that I have none C++ standards so I'm not
sure whether DMC went now into "correct" way ot brought something which was legal.
At least my Open Watcom 1.3, Borland, VC 7 and GCC build did not report these
problems (however DMC could reasonable to _warn_ about them which did not
happened in other compilers).


1. "Error: 'i' already defined":

   for (int i = 0; i < images; i++)
   {
        ....
        if ( image->HasMask() )
        {
            ....
        }
        else
        {
            ....
            int i, j;
            for (i = 0; i < mask.GetWidth(); k++)
                for (j = 0; j < mask.GetHeight(); j++)
                    mask.SetRGB(i, j, 0, 0, 0 );
        }
        ....
   }


2. "Error: 'mark' is already defined" - while in case 1) it was clear that first
   'int i' conflicted with second 'int i'. But in this case mark 'was' of
   different type:

   wxHtmlContainerCell *mark = c;
   ....
   if (m_Numbering == 0)
   {
       ....
   }
   else
   {
       ....
       wxString mark;
       mark.Printf(wxT("%i."), m_Numbering);
       c->InsertCell(new wxHtmlWordCell(mark, *(m_WParser->GetDC())));
   }


3. "Error: ambiguous reference to symbol"

   wxRegKey key;
   wxString str = key;
                     ^ Error: ambiguous reference to symbol

   Class wxRegKey has operator bool() and operator wxString(), see
   http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/include/wx/msw/registry.h?annotate=1.33


4. Internal error: eh 759

   I will try to track this down but this is more time consuming than I have
   time so if you have any suggestion how I could improve my searching for
   minimal duplication of this internal error then it could be great.
   Also note that this internal error could be earlier than than 8.45.2 because
   happened in a build variant I did not run recently.


Thanks for keeping progress of DMC. Impressive!


BTW: There was recently released http://www.wxwidgets.org/book/ which AFAIK includes DMC on CD. Would be great to see it menationed on http://www.digitalmars.com/bibliography.html :-)


ABX

The first two are clearly bugs and I have enough info to fix them. #3, I don't know what to do with, I need an example. #4 is obviously a bug, but I need an example. Thanks, -Walter

I rewrote how destructors for subobjects were handled in destructors. So that might be the problem.

Done!
