Hi Steffen,

I grepped and found it in some of the main Wx package .xs files, but
always inside a structure like " %name{Wx::TextCtrlBase} class
wxTextCtrlBase {... " and I don't recognise that syntax /at all/. The
Wx package features strongly when doing a Google Code Search for
"%name{". What is it?
It's a sort of preprocessor directive that's part of the XS++ syntax.
Have a look at the documentation for ExtUtils::XSpp. The
ExtUtils::XSpp also contains a very simple example distribution. Maybe
check that out before you try to understand the much, much more
complicated Wx use of the XS++ preprocessor.
Note that any of the .xsp files you'll find in Wx are meant to be
processed by xspp to produce regular XS. The typemap.xsp is typemap's
XS++ brother.
Until the most recent Wx release, XS++ was part of Wx and it only got
split out recently because it's useful for other C++ bindings as well.
Therefore, Wx has by far the most complicated use of XS++ you'll find.
Ahh, I see! Thanks for that! :-)
