Fix and document the naturalvar feature override behaviour - the naturalvar
feature attached to a variable name has precedence over the naturalvar
feature attached to the variable's type. The overriding was not working
when turning the feature off on the variable's name.
Fix so that any use of the naturalvar feature will override the global
setting. Previously when set globally by -naturalvar or %module(naturalvar=1),
use of the naturalvar feature was not always honoured.
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
* '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
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.
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).
