Talk:FLTK

Seems like it should be. Not a lot of room for expansion here. Small enough topic. No strong opinion about it though. Jason Quinn (talk) 05:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

:Merge with which article? Why not having short articles? mabdul 12:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

::Hi, Mabdul. I'm not sure why I ended up commenting here. I may have used an automated tool to help with a merge. I was referring to the FLUID article. Jason Quinn (talk) 03:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

There is be no need to merge the articles. If given some time, they will expand to the point that merging would result in a ridiculously large article because these two topics are quite big. Yoreei (talk) 18:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

How come the button is allocated on the heap? If the pointer isn't needed anyway, it might as well be allocated on the stack. I thought that was usually preferred. Also, since the pointer isn't saved in any way, how is a memory leak prevented? --87.157.207.50 (talk) 00:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Looking at the code, I think the creation of the window sets it as the parent for new controls:

1 Fl_Window* w = new Fl_Window(330, 190);

2 new Fl_Button(110, 130, 100, 35, "Okay");

3 w->end();

Line 1 creates the window and its constructor does { currentParent = this; }. Line 2 creates the button and its constructor does { currentParent->addChild(this); }. Line 3 does { currentParent = nullptr; }. Had the button been allocated on the stack, the space where the button is sitting would be reused and that would likely crash the program or worse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 02:31, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

The Architecture section partially speaks about GTK+ and states things (written in C, uses GLib object system) that are not true for FLTK (cf. rest of article). I guess it is a copy of a corresponding section in the GTK+ article (probably an old version thereof). Could anyone rework this section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.107.152.103 (talk) 20:32, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

The example program in the Language Bindings section seems a bit out of place. Should it be in another section? Chucksys (talk) 22:22, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Shouldn't Nuke be mentioned? I think that was the history of this library, see here:

Just released yesterday.[https://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L1955] I don't know whether the article infobox needs to be updated. Maybe someone else here can figure this out and fix things as needed. 2601:644:8581:75B0:0:0:0:2CDE (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
