This changeset resolves several issues related to python imports.
For example, it's possible now to import modules having same module
names, but belonging to different packages.
From the user's viewpoint, this patch gives a little bit more control on
import directives generated by swig. The user may choose to use relative
or absolute imports (docs are provided in separate PR).
Some details:
- we (still) generate import directives in form 'import a.b.c' which
corresponds to absolute imports in python3 and (the only available)
ambiguous one in python2.
- added -relativeimport option to use explicit relative import syntax
(python3),
Tests are under Examples/python, these are in fact regression tests but
with the current swig testing framework it seems to be impossible to put
appropriate tests under test-suite.
Closes#7
It was previously possible to assign "hello" to a variable backed by char[5]
storage in C, and the array contained the correct character data but without
the trailing NUL, which was unexpected in C.
This is not allowed any more, only "helo" can fit into a char[5] now and
anything else fails the type check, just as it already happened for the longer
strings before.
Closes#122
Use the usual C rule for NUL-terminated strings instead of discarding all the
trailing NUL characters.
This was unexpected (as buffers in C code are not necessarily always padded
with NULs to their full length) and also inconsistent among languages as this
was only done for those of them using typemaps/strings.swg but not for C# or
Java, for example, which terminated the string at the first NUL even before
this change.
Notice that this patch couldn't use strlen() or wcslen() with possibly not
NUL-terminated strings, so we had to add [our own equivalents of] strnlen()
and wcsnlen() and use them instead. This required adding yet another parameter
to string typemap macros, so update the example using them accordingly too.
Exact paths comparison doesn't work when SWIG is built in a directory
different from the source one, so check whether the path just ends with the
expected path components instead.
This allows all Java tests to pass in this build configuration.

* 'perl5-directors-minimal' of https://github.com/talby-/swig:
try adding travis ci to this branch
ran "beautify-file" make target over perl5.cxx patch hunks and rewrote callback and extend examples in the style of existing examples
prefer polymorphism on existing destructor over custom destructor method
fix string mangled by tidy
eliminate dead director code and convert remaining blocks
mitigate ConvertPtr director cost when directors are not enabled
steals python director docs and adapts to perl5
adds "callback" and "extend" examples
don't forget the most important part
steals python directors and adapts to perl5
The erase and insert methods in the containers use const_iterator instead
of iterator in C++11. There are times when the methods wrapped must match
the parameters exactly. Specifically when full type information for
template types is missing or SWIG fails to look up the type correctly,
for example:
%include <std_vector.i>
typedef float Real;
%template(RealVector) std::vector<Real>;
SWIG does not find std::vector<Real>::iterator because %template using
typedefs does not always work and so SWIG doesn't know if the type is
copyable and so uses SwigValueWrapper<iterator> which does
not support conversion to another type (const_iterator). This resulted
in compilation errors when using the C++11 version of the containers.
Closes#73
fixed language symbol table nested classes name separator, test added
fixed %feature "flatnested" working with %extend
fixed Swig_offset_string for empty string
added simple template to save/restore values in current scope (readability reasons)
* nested:
Deprecation of the 'nestedworkaround' feature
Ensure -c++out is not used with -c++
Add missing header to new source file
Nested C class setters restored in c++out mode for Octave
Classprefix fixed after private nested classes some comments and spaces added
Fix template partial specialization detection
Minor tweaks in Swig_feature_set
Swig_offset_string moved to misc.c
nested private classes are discarded while parsing nested relate functions are moved to nested.cxx and renamed accordingly
out-of-scope template definitions fixed nested_private test disabled again
fixed out-of-scope nested class definitions, added a test enabled nested C structs assignment (still disabled for Octave), added Java runtime test fixed nested_private test case for Java & C#
Testcase of private nested class usage causing segfault
C nested struct passed by value example
Add in Travis testing for nested branch
Add C++ nested class example
Minor code improvements
Cosmetics/code beautification of nested class support
Nested classes support
Error checking for this combination implemented as well as correcting
Octave
Also refactor, replacing CPlusPlusOut variable with cparse_cplusplusout
for an implementation which more closely resembles cparse_cplusplus which
is also required in both .c and .cxx files.
Suitable casts are required so that assignment of instances of nested classes
work as the nested class is duplicated in the global namespace, eg:
struct Outer {
struct Nested {
int bar;
} bar_instance;
};
Outer.bar_instance can now be assigned to.
changed to be consistent with other languages. The typemaps
provided by SWIG have been updated accordingly, but if you
have written your own directorout typemaps, you'll need to
update $input to &$input (or make equivalent changes).
