Hi Phil: Thanks for all the testing and bug-fixing for wxwidgets that you have being charging through this weekend.
During the course of that testing (presumably on Windows) I am going to assume you just used the default given by option(PL_WXWIDGETS_IPC3 "Use the three-semaphores approach for wxwidgets IPC" ON) (i.e., you did not specifically use -DPL_WXWIDGETS_IPC3=OFF). That default case corresponding to -DPL_WXWIDGETS_IPC3=ON is what I constantly use on Linux for wxwidgets, and I am happy with it. Are you happy with your recent experience with the three-semaphores IPC approach on Windows, i.e., has everything worked as well as with the old IPC approach with no noticeable slowdowns? If so and whenever you give the OK, I propose to remove from our wxwidgets-related code your original IPC approach which involved a circular buffer code and a mutex, i.e., all code which is currently compiled only if the PL_WXWIDGETS_IPC3 macro is NOT #defined. That change should make both the -dev wxwidgets code and wxPLViewer code much easier to understand which is why I am pushing for this change. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
