  13     A class for performing various debugging and memory tracing operations.

  15     Full functionality (such as printing out objects currently allocated) is
  16     only present in a debugging build of wxWidgets, i.e. if the __WXDEBUG__
  17     symbol is defined. wxDebugContext and related functions and macros can be
  18     compiled out by setting wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT to 0 is setup.h
