	12	This is a completely opaque class which exists only to be used with
	13	wxRecursionGuard, please see the example in that class' documentation.

	15	@remarks
	16
	17	wxRecursionGuardFlag object must be declared @c static or the recursion
	18	would never be detected.

	31	/**
	32	@class wxRecursionGuard
	33
	34	wxRecursionGuard is a very simple class which can be used to prevent reentrancy
	35	problems in a function. It is not thread-safe and so should be used only in
	36	single-threaded programs or in combination with some thread synchronization
	37	mechanisms.
	38
	39	wxRecursionGuard is always used together with the
	40	wxRecursionGuardFlag like in this example:
	41
	42	@code
	43	void Foo()
	44	{
	45	static wxRecursionGuardFlag s_flag;
	46	wxRecursionGuard guard(s_flag);
	47	if ( guard.IsInside() )
	48	{
	49	// don't allow reentrancy
	50	return;
	51	}
	52
	53	...
	54	}
	55	@endcode
	56
	57	As you can see, wxRecursionGuard simply tests the flag value and sets it to
	58	@true if it hadn't been already set.
	59	IsInside() allows testing the old flag
	60	value. The advantage of using this class compared to directly manipulating the
	61	flag is that the flag is always reset in the wxRecursionGuard destructor and so
	62	you don't risk to forget to do it even if the function returns in an unexpected
	63	way (for example because an exception has been thrown).
