The main change in wx accessibility is this:
7dab555f71 (diff-04f5191d86f95b1c4d5d9c979da65878)
However wxWindowAccessible has not been updated to take into account of that change. In particular wxWindowAccessible::GetParent() was always wrong, but it was consistent with the rest of the framework. Now it's wrong and inconsistent. This function should return an object with role window, and which has the same name.
The fix is to introduce class WindowAccessible, which is effectively our own version of wxWindowAccessible. This class does not override GetParent(), and so just relies on a standard accessible object to to the right thing in wxIAccessible::get_accParent() (which is does). This class also allows us to have our own version of GetName(), which allows us to set the accessibility names of buttons.
These changes will break the accessibility of Audacity if it is built with wxWidgets 3.0.X. If this is a problem, then there could be some #if stuff in WindowAccessible.h to turn the WindowAccessible class into one which simply inherits from wxWindowAccessible, and doesn't override anything.
... for functions in final classes.
override is like const -- it's not necessary, but it helps the compiler to
catch mistakes.
There may be some overriding functions not explicitly declared virtual and I did
not identify such cases, in which I might also add override.
... Should have no effect on generated code, except perhaps some slight faster
virtual function calls. Mostly useful as documentation of design intent.
Tried to mark every one of our classes that inherits from another, or is a
base for others, or has abstract virtual functions, and a few others besides.
