Version 1.3.29 (March 21, 2006)
===============================
04/05/2006: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
Fix output typemap of char so it produces a character instead
of an integer. Also adds input/output typemaps for 'char *'.
add command-line argument -isolate to generate an interface
file that won't interfere with other SWIG generated files that
may be used in the same application.
03/20/2005: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
More tweaks to INPUT/OUTPUT typemaps for bool.
Fix constantWrapper for char and string literals.
find-definition keybindings should work in ELI/SLIME.
Output (in-package <module-name>) to lisp wrapper
instead of (in-package #.*swig-module-name*).
slight rework of multiple return values.
doc updates.
03/17/2005: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
mangle names of constants generated via constantWrapper.
When using OUTPUT typemaps and the function has a non-void
return value, it should be first in the values-list, followed
by the OUTPUT mapped values.
Fix bug with boolean parameters, which needed to be
passed in as int values, rather than T or NIL.
03/15/2006: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
Generate wrappers for constants when in C++ or -cwrap mode.
Make -cwrap the default, since it is most correct. Users
can use the -nocwrap option to avoid the creation of a .cxx
file when interfacing to C code.
When in -nocwrap mode, improve the handling of converting
infix literals to prefix notation for lisp. This is very
basic and not likely to be improved upon since this only
applies to the -nocwrap case. Literals we can't figure out
will result in a warning and be included in the generated
code.
validIdentifier now more closely approximates what may be
a legal common lisp symbol.
Fix typemap error in allegrocl.swg
03/12/2006: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
fix up INPUT/OUTPUT typemaps for bool.
Generate c++ style wrapper functions for struct/union members
when -cwrap option specified.
03/10/2006: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
Fix bug in C wrapper generation introduced by last allegrocl
commit.
03/10/2006: wsfulton
[Java]
Commit #1447337 - Delete LocalRefs at the end of director methods to fix potential leak
03/10/2006: wsfulton
Fix #1444949 - configure does not honor --program-prefix.
Removed non-standard configure option --with-release-suffix. Fix the autoconf standard
options --program-prefix and --program-suffix which were being shown in the help,
but were being ignored. Use --program-suffix instead of --with-release-suffix now.
03/10/2006: wsfulton
[Java]
Fix #1446319 with patch from andreasth - more than one wstring parameter in director methods
03/07/2006: mkoeppe
[Guile]
Fix for module names containing a "-" in non-"shadow" mode.
Patch from Aaron VanDevender (#1441474).
03/04/2006: mmatus
- Add -O to the main program, which now enables -fastdispatch
[Python]
- Add the -fastinit option to enable faster __init__
methods. Setting 'this' as 'self.this.append(this)' in the python
code confuses PyLucene. Now the initialization is done in the
the C++ side, as reported by Andi and Robin.
- Add the -fastquery option to enable faster SWIG_TypeQuery via a
python dict cache, as proposed by Andi Vajda
- Avoid to call PyObject_GetAttr inside SWIG_Python_GetSwigThis,
since this confuses PyLucene, as reported by Andi Vajda.
03/02/2006: wsfulton
[Java]
Removed extra (void *) cast when casting pointers to and from jlong as this
was suppressing gcc's "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"
warning. This warning could be ignored in versions of gcc prior to 4.0, but now the
warning is useful as gcc -O2 and higher optimisation levels includes -fstrict-aliasing which
generates code that doesn't work with these casts. The assignment is simply never made.
Please use -fno-strict-aliasing to both suppress the warning and fix the bad assembly
code generated. Note that the warning is only generated by the C compiler, but not
the C++ compiler, yet the C++ compiler will also generate broken code. Alternatively use
-Wno-strict-aliasing to suppress the warning for gcc-3.x. The typemaps affected
are the "in" and "out" typemaps in java.swg and arrays_java.swg. Users ought to fix
their own typemaps to do the same. Note that removal of the void * cast simply prevents
suppression of the warning for the C compiler and nothing else. Typical change:
From:
%typemap(in) SWIGTYPE * %{ $1 = *($&1_ltype)(void *)&$input; %}
To:
%typemap(in) SWIGTYPE * %{ $1 = *($&1_ltype)&$input; %}
From:
%typemap(out) SWIGTYPE * %{ *($&1_ltype)(void *)&$result = $1; %}
To:
%typemap(out) SWIGTYPE * %{ *($&1_ltype)&$result = $1; %}
03/02/2006: mkoeppe
[Guile -scm]
Add typemaps for "long long"; whether the generated code compiles, however, depends
on the version and configuration of Guile.
03/02/2006: wsfulton
[C#]
Add support for inner exceptions. If any of the delegates are called which construct
a pending exception and there is already a pending exception, it will create the new
exception with the pending exception as an inner exception.
03/02/2006: wsfulton
[Php]
Added support for Php5 exceptions if compiling against Php5 (patch from Olly Betts).
03/01/2006: mmatus
Use the GCC visibility attribute in SWIGEXPORT.
Now you can compile (with gcc 3.4 or later) using
CFLAGS="-fvisibility=hidden".
Check the difference for the 'std_containers.i' python
test case:
Sizes:
3305432 _std_containers.so
2383992 _std_containers.so.hidden
Exported symbols (nm -D <file>.so | wc -l):
6146 _std_containers.so
174 _std_containers.so.hidden
Excecution times:
real 0m0.050s user 0m0.039s sys 0m0.005s _std_containers.so
real 0m0.039s user 0m0.026s sys 0m0.007s _std_containers.so.hidden
Read http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for more details.
02/27/2006: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
Add support for INPUT, OUTPUT, and INOUT typemaps.
For OUTPUT variables, the lisp wrapper returns multiple
values.
02/26/2006: mmatus
[Ruby] add argcargv.i library file.
Use it as follow:
%include argcargv.i
%apply (int ARGC, char **ARGV) { (size_t argc, const char **argv) }
%inline {
int mainApp(size_t argc, const char **argv)
{
return argc;
}
}
then in the ruby side:
args = ["asdf", "asdf2"]
n = mainApp(args);
This is the similar to the python version Lib/python/argcargv.i
02/24/2006: mgossage
Small update Lua documents on troubleshooting problems

02/22/2006: mmatus
When using directors, now swig will emit all the virtual
protected methods by default.
In previous releases, you needed to use the 'dirprot'
option to acheive the same.
If you want, you can disable the new default behaviour,
use the 'nodirprot' option:
swig -nodirprot ...
and/or the %nodirector feature for specific methods, i.e.:
%nodirector Foo::bar;
struct Foo {
virtual ~Foo();
protected:
virtual void bar();
};
As before, pure abstract protected members are allways
emitted, independent of the 'dirprot/nodirprot' options.
02/22/2006: mmatus
Add the factory.i library for languages using the UTL (python,tcl,ruby,perl).
factory.i implements a more natural wrap for factory methods.
For example, if you have:
---- geometry.h --------
struct Geometry {
enum GeomType{
POINT,
CIRCLE
};
virtual ~Geometry() {}
virtual int draw() = 0;
//
// Factory method for all the Geometry objects
//
static Geometry *create(GeomType i);
};
struct Point : Geometry {
int draw() { return 1; }
double width() { return 1.0; }
};
struct Circle : Geometry {
int draw() { return 2; }
double radius() { return 1.5; }
};
//
// Factory method for all the Geometry objects
//
Geometry *Geometry::create(GeomType type) {
switch (type) {
case POINT: return new Point();
case CIRCLE: return new Circle();
default: return 0;
}
}
---- geometry.h --------
You can use the %factory with the Geometry::create method as follows:
%newobject Geometry::create;
%factory(Geometry *Geometry::create, Point, Circle);
%include "geometry.h"
and Geometry::create will return a 'Point' or 'Circle' instance
instead of the plain 'Geometry' type. For example, in python:
circle = Geometry.create(Geometry.CIRCLE)
r = circle.radius()
where 'circle' now is a Circle proxy instance.
02/17/2006: mkoeppe
[MzScheme] Typemaps for all integral types now accept the full range of integral
values, and they signal an error when a value outside the valid range is passed.
[Guile] Typemaps for all integral types now signal an error when a value outside
the valid range is passed.
02/13/2006: mgossage
[Documents] updated the extending documents to give a skeleton swigging code
with a few typemaps.
[Lua] added an extra typemap for void* [in], so a function which requires a void*
can take any kind of pointer
Version 1.3.28 (February 12, 2006)
