Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
The first form takes a command string, such as {\tt "emacs file.txt"}.
The semantics of the third and fourth versions is different from the first two
and is described in more details below.
-If {\it sync} is FALSE (the default), flow of control immediately returns.
-If TRUE, the current application waits until the other program has terminated.
+If {\it flags} parameter contains {\tt wxEXEC\_ASYNC} flag (the default), flow
+of control immediately returns. If it contains {\tt wxEXEC\_SYNC}, the current
+application waits until the other program has terminated.
In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of
the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be
terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to
terminate, wxExecute will call \helpref{wxYield}{wxyield}. The caller
should ensure that this can cause no recursion, in the simplest case by
-calling \helpref{wxEnableTopLevelWindows(FALSE)}{wxenabletoplevelwindows}.
+calling \helpref{wxEnableTopLevelWindows(false)}{wxenabletoplevelwindows}.
For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added
-complication, the return value of $-1$ in this case indicattes that we didn't
+complication, the return value of $-1$ in this case indicates that we didn't
launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only happen in
case of using DDE under Windows for command execution). In particular, in this,
and only this, case the calling code will not get the notification about
process termination.
-If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous (note that callback
-parameter can not be non-NULL for synchronous execution),
+If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous,
\helpref{wxProcess::OnTerminate}{wxprocessonterminate} will be called when
-the process finishes.
+the process finishes. Specifying this parameter also allows you to redirect the
+standard input and/or output of the process being launched by calling
+\helpref{Redirect}{wxprocessredirect}. If the child process IO is redirected,
+under Windows the process window is not shown by default (this avoids having to
+flush an unnecessary console for the processes which don't create any windows
+anyhow) but a {\tt wxEXEC\_NOHIDE} flag can be used to prevent this from
+happening, i.e. with this flag the child process window will be shown normally.
+
+Under Unix the flag {\tt wxEXEC\_MAKE\_GROUP\_LEADER} may be used to ensure
+that the new process is a group leader (this will create a new session if
+needed). Calling \helpref{wxKill}{wxkill} with the argument of -pid where pid
+is the process ID of the new process will kill this process as well as all of
+its children (except those which have started their own session).
Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
a process (always synchronously) and capture its output in the array
{\it output}. The fourth version adds the possibility to additionally capture
the messages from standard error output in the {\it errors} array.

+to create and use the critical section only when needed.

+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{\param{}{cs}}

+\helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}{wxcritsectlocker}: it creates a static critical
+section object and also the lock object associated with it. Because of this, it
+can be only used inside a function, not at global scope. For example:

+\begin{verbatim}
+int IncCount()
+{
+ static int s_counter = 0;
+
+ wxCRITICAL_SECTION(counter);
+
+ return ++s_counter;
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+(note that we suppose that the function is called the first time from the main
+thread so that the critical section object is initialized correctly by the time
+other threads start calling it, if this is not the case this approach can

+Unicode build configuration. Please see the
+\helpref{Unicode overview}{unicode} for more information.
+
+This macro is simply returns the value passed to it without changes in ASCII
+build. In fact, its definition is:

-Converts the character to upper case. This is implemented as a macro for efficiency.
+\func{const wxChar *}{wxTRANSLATE}{\param{const char *}{s}}
+
+This macro doesn't do anything in the program code -- it simply expands to the
+value of its argument (expand in Unicode build where it is equivalent to
+\helpref{wxT}{wxt} which makes it unnecessary to use both wxTRANSLATE and wxT
+with the same string which would be really unreadable).
+
+However it does have a purpose and it is to mark the literal strings for the
+extraction into the message catalog created by {\tt xgettext} program. Usually
+this is achieved using \helpref{\_()}{underscore} but that macro not only marks
+the string for extraction but also expands into
+\helpref{wxGetTranslation}{wxgettranslation} function call which means that it
+cannot be used in some situations, notably for the static arrays
+initialization.
+
+Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
+static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
+translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as
+\helpref{wxDateTime}{wxdatetime} already can be used to get the localized week
+day names already). If you write
+\begin{verbatim}
+static const wxChar * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };
+...
+// use weekdays[n] as usual
+\end{verbatim}
+the code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the array
+initializer. So instead you should do
+\begin{verbatim}
+static const wxChar * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ..., wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
+...
+// use wxGetTranslation(weekdays[n])
+\end{verbatim}
+here.
+
+Note that although the code {\bf would} compile if you simply omit
+wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there would be
+no translations for the weekday names in the program message catalog and
+wxGetTranslation wouldn't find them.

-This function posts the event to the specified {\it dest} object. The

-sometime later - usually during the next even loop iteration.
-
-Note that a copy of the {\it event} is made by the function, so the original
-copy can be deleted as soon as function returns. This function can also be used
-to send events between different threads safely. As this function makes a
-copy of the event, the event needs to have a fully implemented Clone() method,
-which may not be the case for all event in wxWindows.
-
-See also \helpref{AddPendingEvent}{wxevthandleraddpendingevent} (which this function

-files and loading user interface elements from resources.
-
-\normalbox{Please note that this use of the word `resource' is different from that used when talking
-about initialisation file resource reading and writing, using such functions
-as wxWriteResource and wxGetResource. It is just an unfortunate clash of terminology.}
-

-a C++ program as follows:
-
-\begin{verbatim}

\section{Debugging macros and functions}\label{debugmacros}
-Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming. ASSERTs are only
-compiled if \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_ is defined, whereas CHECK macros stay in release
-builds.
+Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming.
+wxWindows defines three families of the assert-like macros:
+the wxASSERT and wxFAIL macros only do anything if \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_ is defined
+(in other words, in the debug build) but disappear completely in the release
+build. On the other hand, the wxCHECK macros stay event in release builds but a
+check failure doesn't generate any user-visible effects then. Finally, the
+compile time assertions don't happen during the run-time but result in the
+compilation error messages if the condition they check fail.

+\func{void}{wxOnAssert}{\param{const char *}{fileName}, \param{int}{ lineNumber}, \param{const char *}{cond}, \param{const char *}{msg = NULL}}
+
+This function is called whenever one of debugging macros fails (i.e. condition
+is false in an assertion). It is only defined in the debug mode, in release
+builds the \helpref{wxCHECK}{wxcheck} failures don't result in anything.
+
+To override the default behaviour in the debug builds which is to show the user
+a dialog asking whether he wants to abort the program, continue or continue
+ignoring any subsequent assert failures, you may override
+\helpref{wxApp::OnAssert}{wxapponassert} which is called by this function if
+the global application object exists.
-This function may be redefined to do something non trivial and is called
-whenever one of debugging macros fails (i.e. condition is false in an
-assertion).
-% TODO: this should probably be an overridable in wxApp.
\membersection{wxASSERT}\label{wxassert}
\func{}{wxASSERT}{\param{}{condition}}
-Assert macro. An error message will be generated if the condition is FALSE in
+Assert macro. An error message will be generated if the condition is false in
debug mode, but nothing will be done in the release build.
Please note that the condition in wxASSERT() should have no side effects
because it will not be executed in release mode at all.

+\membersection{wxASSERT\_MIN\_BITSIZE}\label{wxassertminbitsize}
+
+\func{}{wxASSERT\_MIN\_BITSIZE}{\param{}{type}, \param{}{size}}
+
+This macro results in a
+\helpref{compile time assertion failure}{wxcompiletimeassert} if the size
+of the given type {\it type} is less than {\it size} bits.
+
+You may use it like this, for example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // we rely on the int being able to hold values up to 2^32
+ wxASSERT_MIN_BITSIZE(int, 32);
+
+ // can't work with the platforms using UTF-8 for wchar_t

+\membersection{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT}\label{wxcompiletimeassert}
+
+\func{}{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
+
+Using {\tt wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT} results in a compilation error if the
+specified {\it condition} is false. The compiler error message should include
+the {\it msg} identifier - please note that it must be a valid C++ identifier
+and not a string unlike in the other cases.
+
+This macro is mostly useful for testing the expressions involving the
+{\tt sizeof} operator as they can't be tested by the preprocessor but it is
+sometimes desirable to test them at the compile time.
+
+Note that this macro internally declares a struct whose name it tries to make
+unique by using the {\tt \_\_LINE\_\_} in it but it may still not work if you
+use it on the same line in two different source files. In this case you may
+either change the line in which either of them appears on or use the
+\helpref{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT2}{wxcompiletimeassert2} macro.
+
+Also note that Microsoft Visual C++ has a bug which results in compiler errors
+if you use this macro with ``Program Database For Edit And Continue''
+(\texttt{/ZI}) option, so you shouldn't use it (``Program Database''
+(\texttt{/Zi}) is ok though) for the code making use of this macro.
