@ -3477,6 +3477,24 @@ A debugger can also be invoked easily on an individual test, for example gdb:
make ret_by_value.ctest RUNTOOL="gdb --args"
</pre></div>
<p>
SWIG reads the <tt>SWIG_FEATURES</tt> environment variable to obtain options in addition to those passed on the command line.
This is particularly useful as the entire test-suite or a particular testcase can be run customized by using additional
arguments, for example the -O optimization flag can be added in, as shown below for the bash shell:
</p>
<div class="shell"><pre>
env SWIG_FEATURES=-O make check-python-test-suite
</pre></div>
<p>
The syntax for setting environment variables varies from one shell to the next, but it also works as shown in the example below, where some typemap debugging is added in:
</p>
<div class="shell"><pre>
make ret_by_value.ctest SWIG_FEATURES="-debug-tmsearch"
</pre></div>
