And both Qt and gtkmm are used in real-world consumer devices. It's common for all kinds of toolkits. As soon as a problem gets complicated enough then you need dynamic allocation to handle the lifetime issues. I've used a (bad and proprietary) embedded UI toolkit that tried to do mostly static allocation but this restriction stopped it from evolving into a good toolkit. -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
