[C#] Fix SWIG_STD_VECTOR_ENHANCED macro used in std::vector to work with
types containing commas, for example:
SWIG_STD_VECTOR_ENHANCED(std::pair< double, std::string >)
2010-06-01: wsfulton
Add in std_shared_ptr.i for wrapping std::shared_ptr. Requires the %shared_ptr
macro like in the boost_shared_ptr.i library. std::tr1::shared_ptr can also be
wrapped if the following macro is defined:
#define SWIG_SHARED_PTR_SUBNAMESPACE tr1
%include <std_shared_ptr.i>
shared_ptr is also documented in Library.html now.
2010-05-27: wsfulton
Add the ability for $typemap special variable macros to call other $typemap
special variable macros, for example:
%typemap(cstype) CC "CC"
%typemap(cstype) BB "$typemap(cstype, CC)"
%typemap(cstype) AA "$typemap(cstype, BB)"
void hah(AA aa);
This also fixes C# std::vector containers of shared_ptr and %shared_ptr.
Also added diagnostics for $typemap with -debug-tmsearch, for example, the
above displays additional diagnostic lines starting "Containing: ":
example.i:34: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: AA aa
Looking for: AA aa
Looking for: AA
Using: %typemap(cstype) AA
Containing: $typemap(cstype, BB)
example.i:31: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: BB
Looking for: BB
Using: %typemap(cstype) BB
Containing: $typemap(cstype, CC)
example.i:29: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: CC
Looking for: CC
Using: %typemap(cstype) CC
2010-05-26: olly
Fix %attribute2ref not to produce a syntax error if the last
argument (AccessorMethod) is omitted. Patch from David Piepgras
in SF#2235756.
2010-05-26: olly
[PHP] When using %throws or %catches, SWIG-generated PHP5 wrappers
now throw PHP Exception objects instead of giving a PHP error of
type E_ERROR.
This change shouldn't cause incompatibility issues, since you can't
set an error handler for E_ERROR, so previously PHP would just exit
which also happens for unhandled exceptions. The benefit is you can
now catch them if you want to.
Fixes SF#2545578 and SF#2955522.
2010-05-25: olly
[PHP] Add missing directorin typemap for const std::string &.
Fixes SF#3006404 reported by t-Legiaw.
2010-05-23: wsfulton
[C#] Fix #2957375 - SWIGStringHelper and SWIGExceptionHelper not always being
initialized before use in .NET 4 as the classes were not marked beforefieldinit.
A static constructor has been added to the intermediary class like this:
%pragma(csharp) imclasscode=%{
static $imclassname() {
}
%}
If you had added your own custom static constructor to the intermediary class in
the same way as above, you will have to modify your approach to use static variable
initialization or define SWIG_CSHARP_NO_IMCLASS_STATIC_CONSTRUCTOR - See csharphead.swg.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-05-23: wsfulton
Fix #2408232. Improve shared_ptr and intrusive_ptr wrappers for classes in an
inheritance hierarchy. No special treatment is needed for derived classes.
The proxy class also no longer needs to be specified, it is automatically
deduced. The following macros are deprecated:
SWIG_SHARED_PTR(PROXYCLASS, TYPE)
SWIG_SHARED_PTR_DERIVED(PROXYCLASS, BASECLASSTYPE, TYPE)
and have been replaced by
%shared_ptr(TYPE)
Similarly for intrusive_ptr wrappers, the following macro is deprecated:
SWIG_INTRUSIVE_PTR(PROXYCLASS, TYPE)
SWIG_INTRUSIVE_PTR_DERIVED(PROXYCLASS, BASECLASSTYPE, TYPE)
and have been replaced by
%intrusive_ptr(TYPE)
2010-05-21: olly
[PHP] Stop generating a bogus line of code in certain constructors.
This was mostly harmless, but caused a PHP notice to be issued, if
enabled (SF#2985684).
2010-05-18: wsfulton
[Java] Fix member pointers on 64 bit platforms.
2010-05-14: wsfulton
Fix wrapping of C++ enum boolean values reported by Torsten Landschoff:
typedef enum { PLAY = true, STOP = false } play_state;
2010-05-14: olly
[PHP] Fix wrapping of global variables which was producing
uncompilable code in some cases.
2010-05-12: drjoe
[R] Add two more changes from Wil Nolan. Get garbage
collection to work. Implement newfree
2010-05-09: drjoe
Fix bug reported by Wil Nolan change creation of string so
that R 2.7.0+ can use char hashes
2010-05-07: wsfulton
Apply patch #2955146 from Sergey Satskiy to fix expressions containing divide by
operator in constructor initialization lists.
2010-05-05: wsfulton
[R] Memory leak fix handling const std::string & inputs, reported by Will Nolan.
2010-05-01: wsfulton
Typemap matching enhancement for non-default typemaps. Previously all
qualifiers were stripped in one step, now they are stripped one at a time
starting with the left most qualifier. For example, int const*const
is first stripped to int *const then int *.

valid value. Bug reported by Gedalia Pasternak.
2010-04-01: wsfulton
Numerous subtle typemap matching rule fixes when using the default type. The typemap
matching rules are to take a type and find the best default typemap (SWIGTYPE, SWIGTYPE* etc),
then look for the next best match by reducing the chosen default type. The type deduction
now follows C++ class template partial specialization matching rules.
Below are the set of changes made showing the default type deduction
along with the old reduced type and the new version of the reduced type:
SWIGTYPE const &[ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const &[]
old: SWIGTYPE (&)[ANY]
SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE const *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const &
new: SWIGTYPE *const &
old: SWIGTYPE const *&
SWIGTYPE *const *
new: SWIGTYPE const *
old: SWIGTYPE **
SWIGTYPE *const &
new: SWIGTYPE const &
old: SWIGTYPE *&
Additionally, a const SWIGTYPE lookup is used now for any constant type. Some examples, where
T is some reduced type, eg int, struct Foo:
T const
new: SWIGTYPE const
old: SWIGTYPE
T *const
new: SWIGTYPE *const
old: SWIGTYPE *
T const[]
new: SWIGTYPE const[]
old: SWIGTYPE[]
enum T const
new: enum SWIGTYPE const
old: enum SWIGTYPE
T (*const )[]
new: SWIGTYPE (*const )[]
old: SWIGTYPE (*)[]
Reminder: the typemap matching rules can now be seen for any types being wrapped by using
either the -debug-tmsearch or -debug-tmused options.
In practice this leads to some subtle matching rule changes and the majority of users
won't notice any changes, except in the prime area of motivation for this change: Improve
STL containers of const pointers and passing const pointers by reference. This is fixed
because many of the STL containers use a type 'T const&' as parameters and when T is
a const pointer, for example, 'K const*', then the full type is 'K const*const&'. This
means that the 'SWIGTYPE *const&' typemaps now match when T is either a non-const or
const pointer. Furthermore, some target languages incorrectly had 'SWIGTYPE *&' typemaps
when these should have been 'SWIGTYPE *const&'. These have been corrected (Java, C#, Lua, PHP).
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-03-13: wsfulton
[Java] Some very old deprecated pragma warnings are now errors.
2010-03-13: wsfulton
Improve handling of file names and directories containing double/multiple path separators.
2010-03-10: mutandiz (Mikel Bancroft)
[allegrocl] Use fully qualified symbol name of cl::identity in emit_defun().
2010-03-06: wsfulton
[Java] The intermediary JNI class modifiers are now public by default meaning these
intermediary low level functions are now accessible by default from outside any package
used. The proxy class pointer constructor and getCPtr() methods are also now public.
These are needed in order for the nspace option to work without any other mods.
The previous default of protected access can be restored using:
SWIG_JAVABODY_METHODS(protected, protected, SWIGTYPE)
%pragma(java) jniclassclassmodifiers = "class"
2010-03-06: wsfulton
[C#] Added the nspace feature for C#. Documentation for the nspace feature is now available.
2010-03-04: wsfulton
Added the nspace feature. This adds some improved namespace support. Currently only Java
is supported for target languages, where C++ namespaces are automatically translated into
Java packages. The feature only applies to classes,struct,unions and enums declared within
a namespace. Methods and variables declared in namespaces still effectively have their
namespaces flattened. Example usage:
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner1::Color;
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner2::Color;
namespace Outer {
namespace Inner1 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
namespace Inner2 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
}
For Java, the -package option is also required when using the nspace feature. Say
we use -package com.myco, the two classes can then be accessed as follows from Java:
com.myco.Outer.Inner1.Color and com.myco.Outer.Inner2.Color.
2010-02-27: wsfulton
[Python] Remove -dirvtable from the optimizations included by -O as it this option
currently leads to memory leaks as reported by Johan Blake.
2010-02-27: wsfulton
License code changes: SWIG Source is GPL-v3 and library code license is now clearer
and is provided under a very permissive license. See http://www.swig.org/legal.html.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[Ruby] A few fixes for compiling under ruby-1.9.x including patch from 'Nibble'.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[Ruby] Apply patch from Patrick Bennett to fix RARRAY_LEN and RARRAY_PTR usage for Ruby 1.9.x
used in various STL wrappers.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[C#, Java] Fix incorrect multiply defined symbol name error when an enum item
and class name have the same name, as reported by Nathan Krieger. Example:
class Vector {};
namespace Text {
enum Preference { Vector };
}
This also fixes other incorrect corner case target language symbol name clashes.
2010-02-11: wsfulton
Add the -debug-lsymbols option for displaying the target language layer symbols.
2010-02-09: wsfulton
Fix -MM and -MMD options on Windows. They were not omitting files in the SWIG library as
they should be.
2010-02-08: wsfulton
Fix #1807329 - When Makefile dependencies are being generated using the -M family of options
on Windows, the file paths have been corrected to use single backslashes rather than double
backslashes as path separators.
2010-02-06: wsfulton
Fix #2918902 - language specific files not being generated in correct directory on
Windows when using forward slashes for -o, for example:
swig -python -c++ -o subdirectory/theinterface_wrap.cpp subdirectory/theinterface.i
2010-02-05: wsfulton
Fix #2894405 - assertion when using -xmlout.
2010-01-28: wsfulton
Fix typemap matching bug when a templated type has a typemap both specialized and not
specialized. For example:
template<typename T> struct XX { ... };
%typemap(in) const XX & "..."
%typemap(in) const XX< int > & "..."
resulted in the 2nd typemap being applied for all T in XX< T >.
2010-01-22: wsfulton
Fix #2933129 - typemaps not being found when the unary scope operator (::) is used to denote
global scope, the typemap is now used in situations like this:
struct X {};
%typemap(in) const X & "..."
void m(const ::X &);
and this:
struct X {};
%typemap(in) const ::X & "..."
void m(const X &);
2010-01-20: wsfulton
Fix some unary scope operator (::) denoting global scope problems in the types generated
into the C++ layer. Previously the unary scope operator was dropped in the generated code
if the type had any sort of qualifier, for example when using pointers, references, like
::foo*, ::foo&, bar< ::foo* >.
2010-01-13: olly
[PHP] Add datetime to the list of PHP predefined classes (patch
from David Fletcher in SF#2931042).
2010-01-11: wsfulton
Slight change to warning, error and diagnostic reporting. The warning number is no
longer shown within brackets. This is to help default parsing of warning messages by
other tools, vim on Unix in particular.
Example original display using -Fstandard:
example.i:20: Warning(401): Nothing known about base class 'B'. Ignored.
New display:
example.i:20: Warning 401: Nothing known about base class 'B'. Ignored.
Also subtle fix to -Fmicrosoft format adding in missing space. Example original display:
example.i(20): Warning(401): Nothing known about base class 'Base'. Ignored.
New display:
example.i(20) : Warning 401: Nothing known about base class 'Base'. Ignored.
2010-01-10: wsfulton
Fix a few inconsistencies in reporting of file/line numberings including modifying
the overload warnings 509, 512, 516, 474, 475 to now be two line warnings.
2010-01-10: wsfulton
Modify -debug-tags output to use standard file name/line reporting so that editors
can easily navigate to the appropriate lines.
Was typically:
. top . include . include (/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swig.swg:312)
. top . include . include . include (/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swigwarnings.swg:39)
now:
/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swig.swg:312: . top . include . include
/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swigwarnings.swg:39: . top . include . include . include
2010-01-03: wsfulton
Fix missing file/line numbers for typemap warnings and in output from the
-debug-tmsearch/-debug-tmused options.
2010-01-03: wsfulton
Add typemaps used debugging option (-debug-tmused). When used each line displays
the typemap used for each type for which code is being generated including the file
and line number related to the type. This is effectively a condensed form of the
-debug-tmsearch option. Documented in Typemaps.html.
2009-12-23: wsfulton
Fix for %javaexception and directors so that all the appropriate throws clauses
are generated. Problem reported by Peter Greenwood.
2009-12-20: wsfulton
Add -debug-tmsearch option for debugging the typemap pattern matching rules.
Documented in Typemaps.html.
2009-12-12: wsfulton
[Octave] Remove the -api option and use the new OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER
macro provided in the octave headers for determining the api version instead.
2009-12-04: olly
[Ruby] Improve support for Ruby 1.9 under GCC. Addresses part of
SF#2859614.
2009-12-04: olly
Fix handling of modulo operator (%) in constant expressions
(SF#2818562).
2009-12-04: olly
[PHP] "empty" is a reserved word in PHP, so rename empty() method
on STL classes to "is_empty()" (previously this was automatically
renamed to "c_empty()").
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-12-03: olly
[PHP] Add typemaps for long long and unsigned long long, and for
pointer to method.
2009-12-02: olly
[PHP] Fix warning and rename of reserved class name to be case
insensitive.
2009-12-01: wsfulton
Revert support for %extend and memberin typemaps added in swig-1.3.39. The
memberin typemaps are ignored again for member variables within a %extend block.
Documentation inconsistency reported by Torsten Landschoff.
2009-11-29: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Fix generated quoting when using %javaconst(1)/%csconst(1) for
static const char member variables.
%javaconst(1) A;
%csconst(1) A;
struct X {
static const char A = 'A';
};
2009-11-26: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Fix %javaconst(1)/%csconst(1) for static const member variables to
use the actual constant value if it is specified, rather than the C++ code to
access the member.
%javaconst(1) EN;
%csconst(1) EN;
struct X {
static const int EN = 2;
};
2009-11-23: wsfulton
C++ nested typedef classes can now be handled too, for example:
struct Outer {
typedef Foo { } FooTypedef1, FooTypedef2;
};
2009-11-18: wsfulton
The wrappers for C nested structs are now generated in the same order as declared
in the parsed code.
2009-11-18: wsfulton
Fix #491476 - multiple declarations of nested structs, for example:
struct Outer {
struct {
int val;
} inner1, inner2, *inner3, inner4[1];
} outer;
2009-11-17: wsfulton
Fix parsing of enum declaration and initialization, for example:
enum ABC {
a,
b,
c
} A = a, *pC = &C, array[3] = {a, b, c};
2009-11-17: wsfulton
Fix parsing of struct declaration and initialization, for example:
struct S {
int x;
} instance = { 10 };
2009-11-15: wsfulton
Fix #1960977 - Syntax error parsing derived nested class declaration and member
variable instance.
2009-11-14: wsfulton
Fix #2310483 - function pointer typedef within extern "C" block.
2009-11-13: wsfulton
Fix usage of nested template classes within templated classes so that compileable code
is generated.
2009-11-13: olly
[php] Fix place where class prefix (as specified with -prefix)
wasn't being used. Patch from gverbruggen in SF#2892647.
2009-11-12: wsfulton
Fix usage of nested template classes so that compileable code is generated - the nested
template class is now treated like a normal nested classes, that is, as an opaque type
unless the nestedworkaround feature is used.
2009-11-12: wsfulton
Replace SWIGWARN_PARSE_NESTED_CLASS with SWIGWARN_PARSE_NAMED_NESTED_CLASS and
SWIGWARN_PARSE_UNNAMED_NESTED_CLASS for named and unnamed nested classes respectively.
Named nested class ignored warnings can now be suppressed by name using %warnfilter, eg:
%warnfilter(SWIGWARN_PARSE_NAMED_NESTED_CLASS) Outer::Inner;
but clearly unnamed nested classes cannot and the global suppression is still required, eg:
#pragma SWIG nowarn=SWIGWARN_PARSE_UNNAMED_NESTED_CLASS
2009-11-11: wsfulton
Added the nestedworkaround feature as a way to use the full functionality of a nested class
(C++ mode only). It removes the nested class from SWIG's type information so it is as if SWIG
had never parsed the nested class. The documented nested class workarounds using a global
fake class stopped working when SWIG treated the nested class as an opaque pointer, and
this feature reverts this behaviour. The documentation has been updated with details of how
to use and implement it, see the "Nested classes" section in SWIGPlus.html.
2009-11-11: wsfulton
There were a number of C++ cases where nested classes/structs/unions were being handled
as if C code was being parsed which would oftentimes lead to uncompileable code as an
attempt was made to wrap the nested structs like it is documented for C code. Now all
nested structs/classes/unions are ignored in C++ mode, as was always documented. However,
there is an improvement as usage of nested structs/classes/unions is now always treated
as an opaque type by default, resulting in generated code that should always compile.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-11-09: drjoe
Fix R for -fcompact and add std_map.i
2009-11-08: wsfulton
Fix inconsistency for nested structs/unions/classes. Uncompileable code was being
generated when inner struct and union declarations were used as types within the
inner struct. The inner struct/union is now treated as a forward declaration making the
behaviour the same as an inner class. (C++ code), eg:
struct Outer {
struct InnerStruct { int x; };
InnerStruct* getInnerStruct();
};
2009-11-08: wsfulton
Ignored nested class/struct warnings now display the name of the ignored class/struct.
2009-11-07: wsfulton
Bug #1514681 - Fix nested template classes within a namespace generated uncompileable
code and introduced strange side effects to other wrapper code especially code
after the nested template class. Note that nested template classes are still ignored.
2009-11-07: wsfulton
Add new debug options:
-debug-symtabs - Display symbol tables information
-debug-symbols - Display target language symbols in the symbol tables
-debug-csymbols - Display C symbols in the symbol tables
2009-11-03: wsfulton
Fix some usage of unary scope operator (::) denoting global scope, for example:
namespace AA { /* ... */ }
using namespace ::AA;
and bug #1816802 - SwigValueWrapper should be used:
struct CC {
CC(int); // no default constructor
};
::CC x();
and in template parameter specializations:
struct S {};
template <typename T> struct X { void a() {}; };
template <> struct X<S> { void b() {}; };
%template(MyTConcrete) X< ::S >;
plus probably some other corner case usage of ::.
2009-11-02: olly
[Python] Fix potential memory leak in initialisation code for the
generated module.
2009-10-23: wsfulton
Fix seg fault when using a named nested template instantiation using %template(name)
within a class. A warning that these are not supported is now issued plus processing
continues as if no name was given.
2009-10-20: wsfulton
[Python] Fix std::vector<const T*>. This would previously compile, but not run correctly.
2009-10-20: wsfulton
Fixed previously fairly poor template partial specialization and explicit
specialization support. Numerous bugs in this area have been fixed including:
- Template argument deduction implemented for template type arguments, eg this now
works:
template<typename T> class X {};
template<typename T> class X<T *> {};
%template(X1) X<const int *>; // Chooses T * specialization
and more complex cases with multiple parameters and a mix of template argument
deduction and explicitly specialised parameters, eg:
template <typename T1, typename T2> struct TwoParm { void a() {} };
template <typename T1> struct TwoParm<T1 *, int *> { void e() {} };
%template(E) TwoParm<int **, int *>;
Note that the primary template must now be in scope, like in C++, when
an explicit or partial specialization is instantiated with %template.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-09-14: wsfulton
[C#] Add %csattributes for adding C# attributes to enum values, see docs for example.
2009-09-11: wsfulton
Fix memmove regression in cdata.i as reported by Adriaan Renting.
2009-09-07: wsfulton
Fix constant expressions containing <= or >=.
2009-09-02: wsfulton
The following operators in constant expressions now result in type bool for C++
wrappers and remain as type int for C wrappers, as per each standard:
&& || == != < > <= >= (Actually the last 4 are still broken). For example:
#define A 10
#define B 10
#define A_EQ_B A == B // now wrapped as type bool for C++
#define A_AND_B A && B // now wrapped as type bool for C++
2009-09-02: wsfulton
Fix #2845746. true and false are now recognised keywords (only when wrapping C++).
Constants such as the following are now wrapped (as type bool):
#define FOO true
#define BAR FOO && false
Version 1.3.40 (18 August 2009)

[C#] Fix SWIG_STD_VECTOR_ENHANCED macro used in std::vector to work with
types containing commas, for example:
SWIG_STD_VECTOR_ENHANCED(std::pair< double, std::string >)
2010-06-01: wsfulton
Add in std_shared_ptr.i for wrapping std::shared_ptr. Requires the %shared_ptr
macro like in the boost_shared_ptr.i library. std::tr1::shared_ptr can also be
wrapped if the following macro is defined:
#define SWIG_SHARED_PTR_SUBNAMESPACE tr1
%include <std_shared_ptr.i>
shared_ptr is also documented in Library.html now.
2010-05-27: wsfulton
Add the ability for $typemap special variable macros to call other $typemap
special variable macros, for example:
%typemap(cstype) CC "CC"
%typemap(cstype) BB "$typemap(cstype, CC)"
%typemap(cstype) AA "$typemap(cstype, BB)"
void hah(AA aa);
This also fixes C# std::vector containers of shared_ptr and %shared_ptr.
Also added diagnostics for $typemap with -debug-tmsearch, for example, the
above displays additional diagnostic lines starting "Containing: ":
example.i:34: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: AA aa
Looking for: AA aa
Looking for: AA
Using: %typemap(cstype) AA
Containing: $typemap(cstype, BB)
example.i:31: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: BB
Looking for: BB
Using: %typemap(cstype) BB
Containing: $typemap(cstype, CC)
example.i:29: Searching for a suitable 'cstype' typemap for: CC
Looking for: CC
Using: %typemap(cstype) CC
2010-05-26: olly
Fix %attribute2ref not to produce a syntax error if the last
argument (AccessorMethod) is omitted. Patch from David Piepgras
in SF#2235756.
2010-05-26: olly
[PHP] When using %throws or %catches, SWIG-generated PHP5 wrappers
now throw PHP Exception objects instead of giving a PHP error of
type E_ERROR.
This change shouldn't cause incompatibility issues, since you can't
set an error handler for E_ERROR, so previously PHP would just exit
which also happens for unhandled exceptions. The benefit is you can
now catch them if you want to.
Fixes SF#2545578 and SF#2955522.
2010-05-25: olly
[PHP] Add missing directorin typemap for const std::string &.
Fixes SF#3006404 reported by t-Legiaw.
2010-05-23: wsfulton
[C#] Fix #2957375 - SWIGStringHelper and SWIGExceptionHelper not always being
initialized before use in .NET 4 as the classes were not marked beforefieldinit.
A static constructor has been added to the intermediary class like this:
%pragma(csharp) imclasscode=%{
static $imclassname() {
}
%}
If you had added your own custom static constructor to the intermediary class in
the same way as above, you will have to modify your approach to use static variable
initialization or define SWIG_CSHARP_NO_IMCLASS_STATIC_CONSTRUCTOR - See csharphead.swg.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-05-23: wsfulton
Fix #2408232. Improve shared_ptr and intrusive_ptr wrappers for classes in an
inheritance hierarchy. No special treatment is needed for derived classes.
The proxy class also no longer needs to be specified, it is automatically
deduced. The following macros are deprecated:
SWIG_SHARED_PTR(PROXYCLASS, TYPE)
SWIG_SHARED_PTR_DERIVED(PROXYCLASS, BASECLASSTYPE, TYPE)
and have been replaced by
%shared_ptr(TYPE)
Similarly for intrusive_ptr wrappers, the following macro is deprecated:
SWIG_INTRUSIVE_PTR(PROXYCLASS, TYPE)
SWIG_INTRUSIVE_PTR_DERIVED(PROXYCLASS, BASECLASSTYPE, TYPE)
and have been replaced by
%intrusive_ptr(TYPE)
2010-05-21: olly
[PHP] Stop generating a bogus line of code in certain constructors.
This was mostly harmless, but caused a PHP notice to be issued, if
enabled (SF#2985684).
2010-05-18: wsfulton
[Java] Fix member pointers on 64 bit platforms.
2010-05-14: wsfulton
Fix wrapping of C++ enum boolean values reported by Torsten Landschoff:
typedef enum { PLAY = true, STOP = false } play_state;
2010-05-14: olly
[PHP] Fix wrapping of global variables which was producing
uncompilable code in some cases.
2010-05-12: drjoe
[R] Add two more changes from Wil Nolan. Get garbage
collection to work. Implement newfree
2010-05-09: drjoe
Fix bug reported by Wil Nolan change creation of string so
that R 2.7.0+ can use char hashes
2010-05-07: wsfulton
Apply patch #2955146 from Sergey Satskiy to fix expressions containing divide by
operator in constructor initialization lists.
2010-05-05: wsfulton
[R] Memory leak fix handling const std::string & inputs, reported by Will Nolan.
2010-05-01: wsfulton
Typemap matching enhancement for non-default typemaps. Previously all
qualifiers were stripped in one step, now they are stripped one at a time
starting with the left most qualifier. For example, int const*const
is first stripped to int *const then int *.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-04-25: bhy

2010-04-02: wsfulton
[Lua] Fix char pointers, wchar_t pointers and char arrays so that nil can be passed as a
valid value. Bug reported by Gedalia Pasternak.
2010-04-01: wsfulton
Numerous subtle typemap matching rule fixes when using the default type. The typemap
matching rules are to take a type and find the best default typemap (SWIGTYPE, SWIGTYPE* etc),
then look for the next best match by reducing the chosen default type. The type deduction
now follows C++ class template partial specialization matching rules.
Below are the set of changes made showing the default type deduction
along with the old reduced type and the new version of the reduced type:
SWIGTYPE const &[ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const &[]
old: SWIGTYPE (&)[ANY]
SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE const *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const &
new: SWIGTYPE *const &
old: SWIGTYPE const *&
SWIGTYPE *const *
new: SWIGTYPE const *
old: SWIGTYPE **
SWIGTYPE *const &
new: SWIGTYPE const &
old: SWIGTYPE *&
Additionally, a const SWIGTYPE lookup is used now for any constant type. Some examples, where
T is some reduced type, eg int, struct Foo:
T const
new: SWIGTYPE const
old: SWIGTYPE
T *const
new: SWIGTYPE *const
old: SWIGTYPE *
T const[]
new: SWIGTYPE const[]
old: SWIGTYPE[]
enum T const
new: enum SWIGTYPE const
old: enum SWIGTYPE
T (*const )[]
new: SWIGTYPE (*const )[]
old: SWIGTYPE (*)[]
Reminder: the typemap matching rules can now be seen for any types being wrapped by using
either the -debug-tmsearch or -debug-tmused options.
In practice this leads to some subtle matching rule changes and the majority of users
won't notice any changes, except in the prime area of motivation for this change: Improve
STL containers of const pointers and passing const pointers by reference. This is fixed
because many of the STL containers use a type 'T const&' as parameters and when T is
a const pointer, for example, 'K const*', then the full type is 'K const*const&'. This
means that the 'SWIGTYPE *const&' typemaps now match when T is either a non-const or
const pointer. Furthermore, some target languages incorrectly had 'SWIGTYPE *&' typemaps
when these should have been 'SWIGTYPE *const&'. These have been corrected (Java, C#, Lua, PHP).
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-03-13: wsfulton
[Java] Some very old deprecated pragma warnings are now errors.
2010-03-13: wsfulton
Improve handling of file names and directories containing double/multiple path separators.
2010-03-10: mutandiz (Mikel Bancroft)
[allegrocl] Use fully qualified symbol name of cl::identity in emit_defun().
2010-03-06: wsfulton
[Java] The intermediary JNI class modifiers are now public by default meaning these
intermediary low level functions are now accessible by default from outside any package
used. The proxy class pointer constructor and getCPtr() methods are also now public.
These are needed in order for the nspace option to work without any other mods.
The previous default of protected access can be restored using:
SWIG_JAVABODY_METHODS(protected, protected, SWIGTYPE)
%pragma(java) jniclassclassmodifiers = "class"
2010-03-06: wsfulton
[C#] Added the nspace feature for C#. Documentation for the nspace feature is now available.
2010-03-04: wsfulton
Added the nspace feature. This adds some improved namespace support. Currently only Java
is supported for target languages, where C++ namespaces are automatically translated into
Java packages. The feature only applies to classes,struct,unions and enums declared within
a namespace. Methods and variables declared in namespaces still effectively have their
namespaces flattened. Example usage:
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner1::Color;
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner2::Color;
namespace Outer {
namespace Inner1 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
namespace Inner2 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
}
For Java, the -package option is also required when using the nspace feature. Say
we use -package com.myco, the two classes can then be accessed as follows from Java:
com.myco.Outer.Inner1.Color and com.myco.Outer.Inner2.Color.
2010-02-27: wsfulton
[Python] Remove -dirvtable from the optimizations included by -O as it this option
currently leads to memory leaks as reported by Johan Blake.
2010-02-27: wsfulton
License code changes: SWIG Source is GPL-v3 and library code license is now clearer
and is provided under a very permissive license. See http://www.swig.org/legal.html.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[Ruby] A few fixes for compiling under ruby-1.9.x including patch from 'Nibble'.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[Ruby] Apply patch from Patrick Bennett to fix RARRAY_LEN and RARRAY_PTR usage for Ruby 1.9.x
used in various STL wrappers.
2010-02-13: wsfulton
[C#, Java] Fix incorrect multiply defined symbol name error when an enum item
and class name have the same name, as reported by Nathan Krieger. Example:
class Vector {};
namespace Text {
enum Preference { Vector };
}
This also fixes other incorrect corner case target language symbol name clashes.
2010-02-11: wsfulton
Add the -debug-lsymbols option for displaying the target language layer symbols.
2010-02-09: wsfulton
Fix -MM and -MMD options on Windows. They were not omitting files in the SWIG library as
they should be.
2010-02-08: wsfulton
Fix #1807329 - When Makefile dependencies are being generated using the -M family of options
on Windows, the file paths have been corrected to use single backslashes rather than double
backslashes as path separators.
2010-02-06: wsfulton
Fix #2918902 - language specific files not being generated in correct directory on
Windows when using forward slashes for -o, for example:
swig -python -c++ -o subdirectory/theinterface_wrap.cpp subdirectory/theinterface.i
2010-02-05: wsfulton
Fix #2894405 - assertion when using -xmlout.
2010-01-28: wsfulton
Fix typemap matching bug when a templated type has a typemap both specialized and not
specialized. For example:
template<typename T> struct XX { ... };
%typemap(in) const XX & "..."
%typemap(in) const XX< int > & "..."
resulted in the 2nd typemap being applied for all T in XX< T >.
2010-01-22: wsfulton
Fix #2933129 - typemaps not being found when the unary scope operator (::) is used to denote
global scope, the typemap is now used in situations like this:
struct X {};
%typemap(in) const X & "..."
void m(const ::X &);
and this:
struct X {};
%typemap(in) const ::X & "..."
void m(const X &);
2010-01-20: wsfulton
Fix some unary scope operator (::) denoting global scope problems in the types generated
into the C++ layer. Previously the unary scope operator was dropped in the generated code
if the type had any sort of qualifier, for example when using pointers, references, like
::foo*, ::foo&, bar< ::foo* >.
2010-01-13: olly
[PHP] Add datetime to the list of PHP predefined classes (patch
from David Fletcher in SF#2931042).
2010-01-11: wsfulton
Slight change to warning, error and diagnostic reporting. The warning number is no
longer shown within brackets. This is to help default parsing of warning messages by
other tools, vim on Unix in particular.
Example original display using -Fstandard:
example.i:20: Warning(401): Nothing known about base class 'B'. Ignored.
New display:
example.i:20: Warning 401: Nothing known about base class 'B'. Ignored.
Also subtle fix to -Fmicrosoft format adding in missing space. Example original display:
example.i(20): Warning(401): Nothing known about base class 'Base'. Ignored.
New display:
example.i(20) : Warning 401: Nothing known about base class 'Base'. Ignored.
2010-01-10: wsfulton
Fix a few inconsistencies in reporting of file/line numberings including modifying
the overload warnings 509, 512, 516, 474, 475 to now be two line warnings.
2010-01-10: wsfulton
Modify -debug-tags output to use standard file name/line reporting so that editors
can easily navigate to the appropriate lines.
Was typically:
. top . include . include (/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swig.swg:312)
. top . include . include . include (/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swigwarnings.swg:39)
now:
/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swig.swg:312: . top . include . include
/usr/share/swig/temp/trunk/Lib/swigwarnings.swg:39: . top . include . include . include
2010-01-03: wsfulton
Fix missing file/line numbers for typemap warnings and in output from the
-debug-tmsearch/-debug-tmused options.
2010-01-03: wsfulton
Add typemaps used debugging option (-debug-tmused). When used each line displays
the typemap used for each type for which code is being generated including the file
and line number related to the type. This is effectively a condensed form of the
-debug-tmsearch option. Documented in Typemaps.html.
2009-12-23: wsfulton
Fix for %javaexception and directors so that all the appropriate throws clauses
are generated. Problem reported by Peter Greenwood.
2009-12-20: wsfulton
Add -debug-tmsearch option for debugging the typemap pattern matching rules.
Documented in Typemaps.html.
2009-12-12: wsfulton
[Octave] Remove the -api option and use the new OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER
macro provided in the octave headers for determining the api version instead.
2009-12-04: olly
[Ruby] Improve support for Ruby 1.9 under GCC. Addresses part of
SF#2859614.
2009-12-04: olly
Fix handling of modulo operator (%) in constant expressions
(SF#2818562).
2009-12-04: olly
[PHP] "empty" is a reserved word in PHP, so rename empty() method
on STL classes to "is_empty()" (previously this was automatically
renamed to "c_empty()").
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-12-03: olly
[PHP] Add typemaps for long long and unsigned long long, and for
pointer to method.
2009-12-02: olly
[PHP] Fix warning and rename of reserved class name to be case
insensitive.
2009-12-01: wsfulton
Revert support for %extend and memberin typemaps added in swig-1.3.39. The
memberin typemaps are ignored again for member variables within a %extend block.
Documentation inconsistency reported by Torsten Landschoff.
2009-11-29: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Fix generated quoting when using %javaconst(1)/%csconst(1) for
static const char member variables.
%javaconst(1) A;
%csconst(1) A;
struct X {
static const char A = 'A';
};
2009-11-26: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Fix %javaconst(1)/%csconst(1) for static const member variables to
use the actual constant value if it is specified, rather than the C++ code to
access the member.
%javaconst(1) EN;
%csconst(1) EN;
struct X {
static const int EN = 2;
};
2009-11-23: wsfulton
C++ nested typedef classes can now be handled too, for example:
struct Outer {
typedef Foo { } FooTypedef1, FooTypedef2;
};
2009-11-18: wsfulton
The wrappers for C nested structs are now generated in the same order as declared
in the parsed code.
2009-11-18: wsfulton
Fix #491476 - multiple declarations of nested structs, for example:
struct Outer {
struct {
int val;
} inner1, inner2, *inner3, inner4[1];
} outer;
2009-11-17: wsfulton
Fix parsing of enum declaration and initialization, for example:
enum ABC {
a,
b,
c
} A = a, *pC = &C, array[3] = {a, b, c};
2009-11-17: wsfulton
Fix parsing of struct declaration and initialization, for example:
struct S {
int x;
} instance = { 10 };
2009-11-15: wsfulton
Fix #1960977 - Syntax error parsing derived nested class declaration and member
variable instance.
2009-11-14: wsfulton
Fix #2310483 - function pointer typedef within extern "C" block.
2009-11-13: wsfulton
Fix usage of nested template classes within templated classes so that compileable code
is generated.
2009-11-13: olly
[php] Fix place where class prefix (as specified with -prefix)
wasn't being used. Patch from gverbruggen in SF#2892647.
2009-11-12: wsfulton
Fix usage of nested template classes so that compileable code is generated - the nested
template class is now treated like a normal nested classes, that is, as an opaque type
unless the nestedworkaround feature is used.
2009-11-12: wsfulton
Replace SWIGWARN_PARSE_NESTED_CLASS with SWIGWARN_PARSE_NAMED_NESTED_CLASS and
SWIGWARN_PARSE_UNNAMED_NESTED_CLASS for named and unnamed nested classes respectively.
Named nested class ignored warnings can now be suppressed by name using %warnfilter, eg:
%warnfilter(SWIGWARN_PARSE_NAMED_NESTED_CLASS) Outer::Inner;
but clearly unnamed nested classes cannot and the global suppression is still required, eg:
#pragma SWIG nowarn=SWIGWARN_PARSE_UNNAMED_NESTED_CLASS
2009-11-11: wsfulton
Added the nestedworkaround feature as a way to use the full functionality of a nested class
(C++ mode only). It removes the nested class from SWIG's type information so it is as if SWIG
had never parsed the nested class. The documented nested class workarounds using a global
fake class stopped working when SWIG treated the nested class as an opaque pointer, and
this feature reverts this behaviour. The documentation has been updated with details of how
to use and implement it, see the "Nested classes" section in SWIGPlus.html.
2009-11-11: wsfulton
There were a number of C++ cases where nested classes/structs/unions were being handled
as if C code was being parsed which would oftentimes lead to uncompileable code as an
attempt was made to wrap the nested structs like it is documented for C code. Now all
nested structs/classes/unions are ignored in C++ mode, as was always documented. However,
there is an improvement as usage of nested structs/classes/unions is now always treated
as an opaque type by default, resulting in generated code that should always compile.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-11-09: drjoe
Fix R for -fcompact and add std_map.i
2009-11-08: wsfulton
Fix inconsistency for nested structs/unions/classes. Uncompileable code was being
generated when inner struct and union declarations were used as types within the
inner struct. The inner struct/union is now treated as a forward declaration making the
behaviour the same as an inner class. (C++ code), eg:
struct Outer {
struct InnerStruct { int x; };
InnerStruct* getInnerStruct();
};
2009-11-08: wsfulton
Ignored nested class/struct warnings now display the name of the ignored class/struct.
2009-11-07: wsfulton
Bug #1514681 - Fix nested template classes within a namespace generated uncompileable
code and introduced strange side effects to other wrapper code especially code
after the nested template class. Note that nested template classes are still ignored.
2009-11-07: wsfulton
Add new debug options:
-debug-symtabs - Display symbol tables information
-debug-symbols - Display target language symbols in the symbol tables
-debug-csymbols - Display C symbols in the symbol tables
2009-11-03: wsfulton
Fix some usage of unary scope operator (::) denoting global scope, for example:
namespace AA { /* ... */ }
using namespace ::AA;
and bug #1816802 - SwigValueWrapper should be used:
struct CC {
CC(int); // no default constructor
};
::CC x();
and in template parameter specializations:
struct S {};
template <typename T> struct X { void a() {}; };
template <> struct X<S> { void b() {}; };
%template(MyTConcrete) X< ::S >;
plus probably some other corner case usage of ::.
2009-11-02: olly
[Python] Fix potential memory leak in initialisation code for the
generated module.
2009-10-23: wsfulton
Fix seg fault when using a named nested template instantiation using %template(name)
within a class. A warning that these are not supported is now issued plus processing
continues as if no name was given.
2009-10-20: wsfulton
[Python] Fix std::vector<const T*>. This would previously compile, but not run correctly.
2009-10-20: wsfulton
Fixed previously fairly poor template partial specialization and explicit
specialization support. Numerous bugs in this area have been fixed including:
- Template argument deduction implemented for template type arguments, eg this now
works:
template<typename T> class X {};
template<typename T> class X<T *> {};
%template(X1) X<const int *>; // Chooses T * specialization
and more complex cases with multiple parameters and a mix of template argument
deduction and explicitly specialised parameters, eg:
template <typename T1, typename T2> struct TwoParm { void a() {} };
template <typename T1> struct TwoParm<T1 *, int *> { void e() {} };
%template(E) TwoParm<int **, int *>;
Note that the primary template must now be in scope, like in C++, when
an explicit or partial specialization is instantiated with %template.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2009-09-14: wsfulton
[C#] Add %csattributes for adding C# attributes to enum values, see docs for example.
2009-09-11: wsfulton
Fix memmove regression in cdata.i as reported by Adriaan Renting.
2009-09-07: wsfulton
Fix constant expressions containing <= or >=.
2009-09-02: wsfulton
The following operators in constant expressions now result in type bool for C++
wrappers and remain as type int for C wrappers, as per each standard:
&& || == != < > <= >= (Actually the last 4 are still broken). For example:
#define A 10
#define B 10
#define A_EQ_B A == B // now wrapped as type bool for C++
#define A_AND_B A && B // now wrapped as type bool for C++
2009-09-02: wsfulton
Fix #2845746. true and false are now recognised keywords (only when wrapping C++).
Constants such as the following are now wrapped (as type bool):
#define FOO true
#define BAR FOO && false
