Version 1.3.23 (in progress)
============================
10/18/2004: mmatus
- %features "director"/"nodirector" now work as expected.
- General fixes in %feature to resolve function decl
properly,
%feature("hello") foo();
char foo() -> f() // was working
char *foo() -> f().p // it wasn't
- Template + specialization + default template args now is
working, (don't confuse with template + default arg
values, that was solved before), now this ugly case is
working:
template <class T, class A = Alloc<T> >
struct Vector
{
Vector(T a){}
};
template <>
struct Vector<double>
{
Vector(){}
int foo() { return 0; }
};
%template(V_c) Vector<char, Alloc<char> >;
%template(V_i) Vector<int>; // picks Vector<int,Alloc<int> >
%template(V_d) Vector<double>; // picks the specialization
this is needed for automatic STL support (later will
be).
- Fix the template + typedef errors in test-suite, which
probably will fix another group of strange template +
namespaces + typedefs errors.
- %warnfilter is working better now, parser.y tries to use
them when needed.
- **** New default type resolution method (stype.c) *****
It preserves the original mixed types, then it goes 'backward'
first deleting the qualifier, then the inner types
typedef A *Aptr;
const Aptr&;
r.q(const).Aptr -> r.q(const).p.SWIGTYPE
r.q(const).p.SWIGTYPE -> r.p.SWIGTYPE
r.p.SWIGTYPE -> r.SWIGTYPE
r.SWIGTYPE -> SWIGTYPE
enum Hello {};
const Hello& hi;
r.q(const).Hello -> r.q(const).enum SWIGTYPE
r.q(const).enum SWIGTYPE -> r.enum SWIGTYPE
r.enum SWIGTYPE -> r.SWIGTYPE
r.SWIGTYPE -> SWIGTYPE
int a[2][4];
a(2).a(4).int -> a(ANY).a(ANY).SWIGTYPE
a(ANY).a(ANY).SWIGTYPE -> a(ANY).a().SWIGTYPE
a(ANY).a().SWIGTYPE -> a(ANY).p.SWIGTYPE
a(ANY).p.SWIGTYPE -> a(ANY).SWIGTYPE
a(ANY).SWIGTYPE -> a().SWIGTYPE
a().SWIGTYPE -> p.SWIGTYPE
p.SWIGTYPE -> SWIGTYPE
before it always stops after finding ref/pointer/enum/array/etc.
Now, then, you can define (use and apply) 'higher' typemaps such as:
%typemap(in) SWIGTYPE* const&
%typemap(out) char FIXSIZE[ANY]
%typemap(in) SWIGTYPE* const&
%typemap(in) const enum SWIGTYPE&
%typemap(in) SWIGTYPE[ANY][ANY]
%typemap(in) const char (&)[ANY]
It is possible with this change that previous typemaps
that were defined (but ignored), now will start to work.
Also, it is necessary check for the '%typemap(varin) SWIGTYPE[]',
before it was usually not defined (but char[] was),
and that can produce some inconsistencies.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
This change was needed for STL, since std::vector<enum Hello>
std::vector<A*>, etc, will always generate methods that
mix const references with the vector type.
Now that is working, all the std::container<T*>
specialization will not be needed anymore, well, in
theory.
In the practice, everythin is working as before until
the proper mixed types are defined and the libraries
simplified to use them.
- Change the behavior of extern "java"/"fortran"/"etc",
now swig produces a warning, and use extern "C" instead.
The warning can also be disable with the "-w 313" flag.
(WARN_PARSE_UNDEFINED_EXTERN).
- SwigValueWrapper is now more selective (lang.cxx).
[Perl/Tcl]
- Fix some typemaps (perl/tcl) to work properly with
SwigValueWrapper. This was not a problem with
SwigValueWrapper, but with the typemaps that now are
safe to use with %apply.
[Python]
- Fix %callbacks/%pythoncallback to work as before
after the def args changes

[OCAML]
- Tweak to enum typing for soundness in the presence of multiple
