    Hundreds of items? That's it? Put 150,000 in and your trees are going to have diagonal lines going everywhere, and crap all over the page.

    Testing was indeed my friend. It said "USE QT."

    The last time I touched WX it was about 6 years ago, and there's no reason to go back. Honestly, you say it's working, but they said it was working 6 years ago. And reports from people I trust who have worked with it recently indicate that my bug is fixed, but new bugs just as bad have been substituted.

    And now I have 6 years experience with Qt, during which time I've never run across that kind of weirdness.

    Such a thing doesn't exist for these pinheads. To them, facts are those things that pesky lawyers are worried about, to everyone's annoyance. In their simple worldview, lawyers and facts are nothing but burdens to all free men.

    example: The PocoZip library looks really good at first. Easy to read a zip file from the disk.

    BUT, what happens when you've got a zip file in memory that you're reading?

    You try to use a string stream to read memory instead of an istream to read from disk. The thing makes moves like it's going to work, but soon face intractable bugs caused by the brain-damaged nature of what PocoZip uses for a zip input stream.

    This situation is a bit beyond what a normal user might run into, but it's a sign that their implementation isn't robust enough to adapt to perfectly ordinary usage situations.

    It's a fictional story. It's honestly not my fault, except I made it up for dramatic purposes.

    The truth is that I had a program that worked with 5 things, and fucking blew up with 100 things. It wasn't a memory error. It was a demo program. Debugging it revealed the amazing spaghetti mess that the WX source code is.

    QT also has bugs, and debugging it reveals elegant source which you can read to shed light on the problem.

    So, how about you just eat my cock instead? You're one of those people who takes an irrelevant point and makes a federal case out of it. Meanwhile, WX is a buggy piece of shit that you haven't even used! Motherfuck, motherfuck, you're a fucking nuisance!

    Now fucking go away unless you're going to argue that WX is the fucking king shit of GUI kits.

  12. Re:wxWidgets might work on Platform Independent C++ OS Library? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why does WXWidgets draw trees OK when you have 5 items in them, but explode when you put 10,000 items in them?

    That's the real fucking question, don't dodge it.

    It also does infuriating bugs. Programs that work fine with small amounts of data explode when you get them into production. Doom!

    No, USE Boost for exactly those reasons. It's an extremely advanced library, and working with it will quickly make you a much better C++ programmer.

    No, POCO is not very good. The documentation is poor, and it's buggy.

  16. Re:C++ is so old school... on Platform Independent C++ OS Library? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes, QT is really excellent, but it's worth it to look at Boost as well.

    Want a database? Why use Berkeley when there's SQLite?

    Portable sockets? QT and Boost both have them.

    Portable file ops? QT and Boost both have them.

    Data structures? QT has a bunch, but STL is what you should learn.

    Windowing lib? QT works on both Windows and Linux. You may be tempted to use WXWidgets, but don't. Despite the fan boyz, you'll find that library to be buggy as shit, and impossible to debug. Sorry, that'll probably get me marked as a troll, but it's true.

    And QT on Windows comes WITH the MinGW compiler for Windows package. You don't need to use any other tool than gcc on Linux, Mac, or Windows.

    Ah, Bill Dog. Nice to see you again. Funny how you call me a troll, but you ignore your brethren who are writing the filthiest racist drivel seen anywhere. I'd rather be a troll than a gooddamn racist like yourself.

    Your problem (actually the problem of the entire right) is that you don't think, you have emotional reactions. And the emotion you react to most of all is fear.

    What bullshit. Terrorism is probably something you believe in prosecuting harshly, but that's just a crime combined with a political position.

    According to Republicans, fly a plane into a building and it's mass murder. Fly it into a plane for Allah, and it's terrorism.
