The changes to scintilla code will likely need submitted upstream to them for the changes to be put into CB.

I submitted a report to https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/1531/, but it was declined, saying that sources which use the CallTip.h should include <string>. (Honestly this seems a bit weird, in particular if the code that needs to include that header doesn't do anything with strings at all, it just needs the header to prevent a compile error.)

And wxScintilla seems pretty abandoned to me. At least I have no clue where to submit any bug reports. I saw that wxWidgets patches the code (see https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/src/stc/ScintillaWX.cpp) by adding the following to ScintillaWX.cpp:

Code
#if !wxUSE_STD_CONTAINERS && !wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM && !wxUSE_STD_STRING
    #include "wx/beforestd.h"
    #include <string>
    #include "wx/afterstd.h"
#endif

It is not abandoned. See here for contacts http://www.scintilla.org/
I'm not sure where wxScintilla is developed, probably wxwidgets.
Morten would know better.

No, Scintilla is not abandoned, but wxScintilla seems to be.

I believe my SDL patch for the wizard has still NOT been applied; but, I gave up on it long ago.
I don't see it in the patch tracker.

If you don't get your patches applied in time there are three options you have:
1. bug us more
2. become a developer
3. don't do patches

I suppose 3 is a bad option :)

Yes the original wxScintilla is dead. wxSTC is the replacement in the wxWidgets source tree, hence it is not as up-to-date as our fork nor we could use it by now as it is available in wx2.9.x+ only.

Besides us, I am not aware of other meaningful further-developed forks of wxScintilla.

So: Everything related to the scintilla core goes to the scintilla maintainer (Neil Hodges, http://www.scintilla.org), everything related to wxScintilla is our business.

In that case I would like to request including <string> in src/sdk/wxscintilla/src/ScintillaWX.cpp. I still believe that it would be more logical if it was included in the Scintilla core, but they closed the ticket as invalid, so fixing ScintillaWX.cpp seems to be the only remaining option.

Other than that I have two questions:
  • Is there any reasonable way to find all required patches for wxWidgets 2.9 compatibility in trunk (to be able to backport them to 12.11)? The code compiles now, but lacks some of the necessary patches that have been applied recently to work flawlessly. Or is there any new CB release planned in the near future? I would like to allow users to avoid using wxGTK on Mac and this is only possible with wxWidgets 2.9 on recent systems.
  • I opened a new topic about the remaining problems with compiling the code in trunk http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,18394.0.html. I would be grateful for help to fix these. The version 12.11 compiles now, but I don't know how to proceed with fixing issues in trunk.

If I were you I'd wait for a while, maybe a release will happen, maybe not...   ::)
Also I won't bother with 12.11 anymore, being marked as stable doesn't mean it is.

p.s. Can you close all you bugs that you've opened for the patches I've applied, because I can track them down. And in the future don't add bugs and patches simultaneously, it makes it harder for us.

I would happily close the tickets, but I don't know how. Do I have sufficient permissions for that?

The problem with the tracker is that it's not too user-friendly. I found a bug, reported it, later I came up with a patch, but bug reports don't allow attachments, so I didn't see a better solution.

The following tickets can be closed:

This has been partially fixed (I believe removing the two [or more] remaining lines as described in the ticket is safe & trivial):

The following two require an easy fix (in case that you are willing to fix & close):

Thank you.

Patch #3501 changes some KWIC header, Morten where is the upstream for this project?

No, KWIC headers have already been patched. I uploaded a new patch to the same ticket, please take a look at that one. It is only patching src/plugins/contrib/wxContribItems/wxTreeList/src/treelistctrl.cpp, but I don't know if there is any other upstream source for that.

Morten: The place where this project is maintained.
For example we're called upstream maintainers by distro maintainers. So if we use a library/component then we call them upstream, or at least this is what I do.
