Advantages:
- it avoids the swig user having to jump through hoops to get print to
work as expected when redefining repr/str slots.
- typing the name of a variable on the python prompt now prints the
result of a (possibly redefined) repr, without the swig user having to
do any extra work.
- when redefining repr, the swig user doesn't necessarily have to
redefine str as it will call the redefined repr
- the behaviour is exactly the same as without the -builtin option while
requiring no extra work by the user (aside from adding the
%feature("python:slot...) statements of course)
- the patch simplifies pyrun.swg a tiny bit.
Disadvantage:
- default str() will give different (but clearer?) output on swigged
classes compared to unpatched swig
SF Bug #326
%template for a std::multimap generated uncompilable code unless a
%template for a std::map of the same template types was also coded up.
This patch is needed in conjunction with previous commit - 5f1fff1849Closes#64Closes#65
- remove unneeded test -n "$OCTAVE"
- do not rely on Octave returning non-zero status for unrecognised option;
search first line of output for 'unrecognized' instead
- do not rely on --eval argument to find mkoctfile, instead assume it
is in the same directory as octave itself (which it always should be)
- check Octave options to make sure they are supported, including
--no-window-system to prevent warnings if building without an X server
- disable Octave if any vital tests fail
SF bug #1327
This doesn't have any noticeable effect with the usage of
SWIG_AsWCharPtrAndSize as shipped by SWIG, but could be a problem if a
user is using this function with cptr equal to zero and psize is non-zero
- the length would be incorrectly set due to the call to PyUnicode_GetSize
failing.
Affects Ruby versions prior to 1.9 using std::complex wrappers if just using std::complex
as an output type. Also fix the Complex helper functions external visibility (to static by default).
Closes#52
* New test case tests that %attribute macros correctly supports passing
template with multiple parameters as class name or attribute type name
* Some further changes were made to %attribute macros - now
AttributeType is protected with %arg as well. This allows you
to have attributes of type e.g. std::pair<int,int> etc
Update CHANGES file for %attribute template fixes
Closes#48
