wxMenuItem with NULL parent Menu in OSX Cocoa

[Dion Whittaker]

Morning,

I have upgraded from 2.9.1 OSX Carbon to 2.9.2 OSX Cocoa.

One of the issues I found was that it it no longer seems to be possible
to create a wxMenuItem with a NULL parent menu.
The menu sample can be used to duplicate the issue.

#if USE_LOG_WINDOW
wxMenuItem *item = new wxMenuItem(fileMenu, Menu_File_ClearLog,
wxT("Clear &log\tCtrl-L"));
#if wxUSE_OWNER_DRAWN || defined(__WXGTK__)
item->SetBitmap(copy_xpm);
#endif
fileMenu->Append(item);
fileMenu->AppendSeparator();
#endif // USE_LOG_WINDOW

change this to

#if USE_LOG_WINDOW
wxMenuItem *item = new wxMenuItem(NULL, Menu_File_ClearLog,
wxT("Clear &log\tCtrl-L"));
...

and an exception is thrown.

The same change seems to work fine under 2.9.1 Carbon.

The documentation for wxMenuItem specifies that the parentMenu argument
may be NULL.

Regards
Dion
