[wxperl-users] Wx::Perl::ListCtrl

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi,

Attached diff fixes documented problem with
Wx::Perl::ListCtrl->SetItemData being called LONG_MAX or more times.

It also includes tests too.

Fix involves reseting index values for all items every 2147483640th time
SetItemData is called.

Knowing that if I had a Wx::Perl::ListCtrl open on my desktop which
refreshed every minute with 3000 items, it would crash on the 497th day
caused me great concern :-)

Clearly I need to get out of the house more.

  I applied a slightly modified form of your patch, the only
substantial change is forcing integer arithmetic and using sprintf
"%u", otherwise sometimes I obtained floating point values.
