    @class wxDebugContext

    A class for performing various debugging and memory tracing operations.

    Full functionality (such as printing out objects currently allocated) is
    only present in a debugging build of wxWidgets, i.e. if the __WXDEBUG__
    symbol is defined. wxDebugContext and related functions and macros can be
    compiled out by setting wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT to 0 is setup.h
