wxWindow.h

I have basically spent a full day's worth of time I could
have spent 
working on something productive trying to figure out which
function 
signature I changed that is causing wxRuby to crash.  It
just takes so 
long to recompile this from scratch and without dependencies
you kind of 
have to when you change wxWindow.h.  I updated a lot of
signatures to 
match the wxWindows header file.  So frustrated....

I feel your pain. Did you mean to attach a patch?

One way we could speed up compilation is to avoid launching
the various
swig post-processors as command-line apps. Low on my todo
list is to
make them all embeddable ruby, which could be require'd by
rakewx.rb. We
would probably save at least a minute per recompile if we
did this.

And, it's another PURE RUBY project which could be taken on
by a
volunteer who doesn't know C++ or SWIG. If you're
interested, contact me
for a more detailed spec of what we need.

I wonder if there is some automated way we could take care
of this. One
approach that would at least help would be if someone could
run the
actual wx headers through something like doxygen. It would
need to be
done for each of our 3 platforms, since there may be
variations. Just
having that available would save us a ton of time.

After that's done, an enhancement would be to parse the
doxygen output,
and our .h files, comparing them to see where we have
discrepancies.
Another cool pure-ruby task.
