Why does context.SetCurrent(&canvas); compile?

just a guess, in the file include\wx\glcanvas.h I see:

#ifdef __WXUNIVERSAL__
     // resolve the conflict with wxWindowUniv::SetCurrent()
     virtual bool SetCurrent(bool doit) { return  
wxWindow::SetCurrent(doit); };
#endif

and if the symbol __WXUNIVERSAL__ is defined, then you are calling the  
SetCurrent(bool) method since the pointer could be converted to bool iirc  
(you could verify it easily running it in a debugger).
