Where should I get the most recent version of wxStEdit I seems to find various
versions at various places. The most recent seems to 1.11 but is it?

Just compiled a recent version and I have been monitoring the memory on XP. The
memory usage goes up for a while up to around 14000 K then bounce back to around
9000 K.

Hello,
I am running on XP, sp2, but could verify the issue on XP, sp1, too.
mdi.wx (the example program) only refreshes the content of the very last
window created. When moving over the other windows their content is erased
and does not get refreshed.
Any explanation or help?
Thanks,
Kristof Werling

Be warned however that wxluaedit is really only for prototyping, it
runs the wxlua program in the main thread as the wxluaeditor and if
you really mess things up you can crash it. the wxlua program spawns
another process to execute the program. It also means that anything
run in wxluaedit is MUCH slower than if you run it "natively" by
running wxluafreeze.exe "program.lua" since it takes time slices to
update the wxluaedit gui.

Humm... I'll look into this. That does sound like a lot of memory after awhile.

Thank you very much. The files work alright now.
I did realise something though: I have been running wxlua, not wxluaedit.
The 2.6.2 binary windows installer does not install wxluaedit, and since
wxlua without a file starts as an editor, I thought that I had gotten the
real editor to work.
I was very happy with the "upgraded" interface of wxluaedit compared to
wxlua. Much, much nicer.
I tested the new version of wxlua, and it still takes 4kb every 2 seconds,
regardless of what I do. No worries though, as I plan on using the real
editor from now on :)
I had to rewrite some of my code to work with this new version. I have
stripped the scribble-demo in order to get plotting and line-drawing
working. It works great, but I haven't had time to delve into WHY,
time-pressure to get the data generator going.
I feel a little giddy, it's a bit like coming home to Turbo Pascal, or 8-bit
BASIC. I think LUA is a very nice prototyping language, and WxWidgets makes
it really easy to present the data to my spectators. I have NEVER done any
windows-programs before, so WxLUA is my first attempt and success at this. I
ususally do deeply embedded programming.

Ok, I got it to compile in VC6. I think the crashing was that I forgot
to completely recompile wxWidgets since doing a CVS update. There's
still the linking warnings which I'll post in a separate message.
I put it in the snapshot directory, its just the binaries wxlua.exe,
wxluaedit.exe, and wxluafreeeze.exe. I've used upx on wxlua.exe and
wxluaedit.exe and not wxluafreeze.exe since it's better to run that
after attaching your program, see the apps/wxluafreeze/src/readme.txt
file.
Compiled w/ VC6 in release multilib with wxWidgets 2.6.3, but the CVS
version of it.

I hope this works better for you and let me know if it still leaks.
You absolutely have to call :Delete() on any wxColours, wxPens,
wxBrushes, wxDCs since the lua garbage collector will let too many of
them collect. Use the "Show Stack" in wxluaedit and look at "Tracked
List" after running the code below in the "wxLuaShell" window to see
what I mean.
>> a = wx.wxPen(wx.wxColour(1,2,3), 1, wx.wxSOLID)
then show stack, then type
>> a:Delete()
and show the stack again, notice how you have a wxColour still since
lua holds a reference to it, but the GC won't be run until quite a few
items have been collected.
I will work on making a lua interface to the "Show Stack" to allow a
lua program to print out the tracked items for easier debugging.

Yes, just go into the wxLua/build/msw and open wxLua.dsw and build. I
like to use Debug/Release Multilib.
I just tried it and I get all kinds of warnings about functions
changing signatures... I dunno what this is all about, but I think the
build settings have changed and it crashes immediately when run with
no useful backtrace. I'll look into it tomorrow night.

See above, I tried to compile it for you, but something's gone wrong.
It runs great in Linux though. :) Seriously, it's probably something
small, like a compiler switch, but it's not immediately obvious to me
what it is.

Soon... we're very close to really getting all the build stuff
working. It's a shame that as much work goes into making it build
cross-platform as goes into actual programming.

Hello all, first post so be gentle with me :)
I have used the 2.6.2 binary for Windows for 2 weeks now. Unfortunately the
wxluaedit application leaks memory something awful, at least 2kb per second.
After 30 minutes the applikation is unusable, having taken more than 50Mb
and using +90% CPU time regardless of what is done (just blinking the
cursor). Closing the applikation then takes more than 1 hour, but killing
the process works.
I saw someone else on the list had the same problem, and the suggested fix
was to get the latest nightly source and build it. I have tried and failed
miserably, using MSVC++ 6.0. More than half a day has been wasted trying to
get it all running. In the end I failed to link wxluaedit. I don't even know
for sure if the latest nightly build is actually possible to build with MSVC
6.0?
Quick fix: could someone please share a pre-built binary of the latest
build? Wxluaedit is what I need the most.
Long-term fix: nightly/weekly binary builds on the download side would be
very nice. I read the history-file with 2.6.3 notations and wept as I wanted
so many of the fixes.
My current hack-solution is to use the editor for 30 minutes, kill it and
repeat. Not very impressive.
Praise: I REALLY like LUA, and wxlua is a perfect fit for my current needs.
wxluaedit, when working, is rather nice to use. I have regained some
programming-lust.
Thanks,

The lua compiler has no way of knowing if math.si is a function at
pre-compilation stage, as you could define a variable:
math.si = math.sin
that would make the call valid...
because variables have no type, only values, this type of check can
not be done un til runtime.

Since there's a lot of stuff here, and no "wxLua.dll (wxLuaDLL.dll)" I
am hesitant to send anything to you unless you see what you want.
I found building wxLua to be pretty straight forward (though I already
had mingw/msys installed). That may be your best option since it would
give you the most flexibility and give you an up-to-date version.
