    // returns the main event loop instance, i.e. the event loop which is started
    // by OnRun() and which dispatches all events sent from the native toolkit
    // to the application (except when new event loops are temporarily set-up).

    // non-NULL main event loop into OnEventLoopEnter().

    // event processing functions
    // --------------------------

    // you should try to return quickly from it to avoid slowing down the
    // program to the crawl
    //
    // return value should be -1 to continue with the normal event processing,

    // had been already processed or won't be processed at all, respectively

    // call the specified handler on the given object with the given event
    //
    // this method only exists to allow catching the exceptions thrown by any
    // event handler, it would lead to an extra (useless) virtual function call
    // if the exceptions were not used, so it doesn't even exist in that case
    virtual void HandleEvent(wxEvtHandler *handler,
                             wxEventFunction func,

    // pending events
    // --------------

    // IMPORTANT: all these methods conceptually belong to wxEventLoopBase
    //            but for many reasons we need to allow queuing of events
    //            even when there's no event loop (e.g. in wxApp::OnInit);
    //            this feature is used e.g. to queue events on secondary threads
    //            or in wxPython to use wx.CallAfter before the GUI is initialized

    // process all events in the m_handlersWithPendingEvents list -- it is necessary
    // to call this function to process posted events. This happens during each
    // event loop iteration in GUI mode but if there is no main loop, it may be
    // also called directly.
    virtual void ProcessPendingEvents();

    // deletes the current pending events
    void DeletePendingEvents();


    // delayed destruction
    // -------------------

    // If an object may have pending events for it, it shouldn't be deleted
    // immediately as this would result in a crash when trying to handle these
    // events: instead, it should be scheduled for destruction and really
    // destroyed only after processing all pending events.
    //
    // Notice that this is only possible if we have a running event loop,
    // otherwise the object is just deleted directly by ScheduleForDestruction()
    // and IsScheduledForDestruction() always returns false.

    // schedule the object for destruction in the near future
    void ScheduleForDestruction(wxObject *object);

    // return true if the object is scheduled for destruction
