Wt

I'm working on a Wt project with several WText objects that have unique pre-assigned names. The names are known at compile-time. Occasionally an object gets added during development with a duplicate name which results in unpredictable run-time behavior. Each time it happens, the cause is not obvious and the developer spends time debugging the problem.

I'd like to implement a check during initialization to check for duplicate names and throw an assert or log an error. Before I implement code to traverse the widget tree looking for duplicate names, I thought I'd check with the forum to see if a solution already exists that I'm not aware of.

I searched the forums for "duplicate names" and "unique names" and didn't see anything.

The purpose of the names is to retrieve data via the web-user-interface using xpath.

Thanks!
