embedded GUI Framwork

[oldroger]

Hello all,

is there a c++ gui framework which is completely free of dynamic heap allocation and exceptions?

Thx|regards,

a c++ gui framework which is completely free of dynamic heap allocation

I'd say that's completely impossible.

What do you mean? And why do you ask?

I suppose it is possible to construct such a thing. If by "dynamic" you mean heap allocations then I suppose you could use the stack. If by "dynamic" you mean either, then you would either be very limited to what windows/widgets you can construct/display, or you would have to have them all statically created when the program starts, and only show/hide them as appropriate.

Thinking. It is fun. :-)

Yes, I mean heap allocation. Reason is that I want to build a monitoring and controlling pc-like system in a critical environment. That means that I need a relatively mighty gui framework, but also have some restrictions like heap allocation and stack unwinding.

It isn't the GUI you need to fear so much as how it is implemented. Here is some reading for you:

Unfortunately, I don't know of any specific GUI frameworks that would be appropriate for your use. You might want to peruse The GUI Toolkit, Framework Page

A well-written GUI doesn't actually have any unbounded resource uses.

Sorry I can't be of more help...
