Change these typemaps to assume that after a function call,
the parameter has been moved. The parameter's proxy class
that owns the C++ object thus has the underlying pointer set
to null so the object cannot be used again and the object is deleted.
Scrap new javarelease typemap and move contents into javabody typemap.
This works by transferring ownership of the underlying C++ memory
from the target language proxy class to an instance of the unique_ptr
which is passed to the wrapped function via std::move.
The proxy class has a new swigRelease() method which sets the
underlying C++ pointer for the proxy class to null, so working
in much the same way as std::unique_ptr::release(). Any attempt at
using the proxy class will be the same as if the delete() function
has been called on the proxy class. That is, using a C++ null pointer,
when a non-null pointer is usually expected.
This commit relies on the previous commit that uses std::move
on the temporary variable used for the wrapped function's input parameter
as std::unique_ptr is not copyable, it has move-only semantics.
Under %feature("php:type", "compat") we don't generate return type
declaration for virtual methods if directors are enabled for that class.
However if a base class of the class has a method of the same name which
isn't directed this was still getting a return type declaration which
caused PHP to give an error when it tried to load the module.
Now we detect this situation and suppress the base class method's
return type declaration too.
Re-enable testcase director_redefined which now works again (it was
failing under PHP8 due to this issue).

Performance optimisation for parameters passed by value that are C++11 movable.
Test copy constructor and assignment operator calls for movable types
Conflicts:
CHANGES.current
The C++ wrappers create a temporary variable for a parameter to be passed to a
function. This is initially default constructed and then copy assigned from the
instance being passed in from the target language. This is unchanged, however,
when the temporary variable is passed to wrapped function, it is now done using
std::move. If the type is move constructible, the move constructor will be used
instead of the copy constructor.
Note that the implementation calls std::move for all user-defined types
(non-primitive types passed by value), this excludes anything passed by pointer,
reference and arrays. It does also include any type that has not been
defined/parsed by SWIG, that is, unknown types. std::move is called via the
SWIG_STD_MOVE macro which only calls std::move for C++11 and later code.
This is the current state of play where the copy constructor and copy
assignment operators are called, even for movable types passed as
function parameters.
The XML target language support is not in good shape and is likely to be
removed unless somebody steps up to bring it up to the expected standard
(it fails to even meet the criteria for "Experimental" currently).
Closes#2213
The directorin typemaps in the director methods now use std::move on the
input parameter when copying the object from the stack to the heap prior
to the callback into the target language, thereby taking advantage of
move semantics if available.
Enhance SWIGTYPE "out" typemaps to use std::move when copying
objects, thereby making use of move semantics when wrapping a function returning
by value if the returned type supports move semantics.
Wrapping functions that return move only types 'by value' now work out the box
without having to provide custom typemaps.
The implementation removed all casts in the "out" typemaps to allow the compiler to
appropriately choose calling a move constructor, where possible, otherwise a copy
constructor. The implementation alsoand required modifying SwigValueWrapper to
change a cast operator from:
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
to
#if __cplusplus >=201103L
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&&() const;
#else
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
#endif
This is not backwards compatible for C++11 and later when using the valuewrapper feature
if a cast is explicitly being made in user supplied "out" typemaps. Suggested change
in custom "out" typemaps for C++11 and later code:
1. Try remove the cast altogether to let the compiler use an appropriate implicit cast.
2. Change the cast, for example, from static_cast<X &> to static_cast<X &&>, using the
__cplusplus macro if all versions of C++ need to be supported.
Issue #999Closes#1044
More about the commit:
Added some missing "varout" typemaps for Ocaml which was falling back to
use "out" typemaps as they were missing.
Ruby std::set fix for SwigValueWrapper C++11 changes.
If the same method name is implemented in a parent class then the
subclass can't have more required parameters than that or else we
get a compatibility error when the module is loaded.
The testsuite wasn't catching this problem because it was no longer
trying to load the modules for testcases without _runme.php, because
the mechanism to do that relied on there being a generated .php
wrapper, which we no longer have by default. Fix that to provide a
regression test for this fix.
See #2151
PHP 7.0 fails to parse `?` before a parameter type (meaning Nullable in
newer versions), so just omit these parameter type declarations in
the testcase until we drop PHP 7.0 support.
Also drop some `var_dump($x);` left over from debugging this testcase.
I missed that this change breaks cpp_static, which seems to be to do
with handling the combined getter and setter we emit for static
member variables. Reverting while I figure out how to handle that.
