When building the unique suffix for each member of the overloaded functions
set, don't use the first "this" parameter of the object methods in it as it's
the same for all of them and so is completely useless for disambiguation
purposes and just results in unnecessarily long and ugly names.
Use "_const" suffix for the methods differing by their const-ness only, this
is necessary now that we don't use "_pFoo" or "_pcFoo" in their names.
This makes it superfluous to check for c:objstruct in
functionWrapperAppendOverloaded() (and checking for it there was not enough
neither, as the changes in the test suite show, sometimes the "this" parameter
type still found its way into the generated wrappers).
Just use our custom object creation/destruction code, but let the base class
do everything else.
This uncovered complete lack of support for ctors/dtors defined using %extend,
but this is not new and will have to remain broken for now.
In many (although perhaps not all, so don't suppress this warning
unconditionally) cases, there is no need for special typemaps in C, the
parameters can be just used directly, so this warning is harmless but it was
given many times during the test suite execution, distracting from more
important messages.
It is impossible to have two functions with the same name inside the same
program, but it is possible to provide a #define to allow the user code to use
the original function name for the wrapper function, so do it for convenience.
Remove the old changes adding explicit "_wrap_" prefix to the examples and the
tests and remove the few more now passing tests from the list of failing tests.
Don't give errors for the unknown types, instead wrap them using the mangled
name of the type.
This is the expected (even if not particularly useful) SWIG behaviour and
allows many more tests to pass.
The generated code, which used C++ scope operator "::" in a C header, didn't
compile and couldn't work anyhow.
Just use the accessor functions for not really global variables.
Although the default typemaps only use "resolved_type" for non-simple types,
the generic SWIGTYPE typemap can also be applied explicitly to other types as
"apply_strings" and "char_binary" unit tests do.
In this case just use the original type unchanged if we can, this is enough to
make these tests pass.
For some reason the test expected another bit field be changed when setting
the given one, which was just plain wrong and prevented the test from passing.
Don't refer to the typedef name (especially with a typo in it...), it is not
supposed to be exported.
Also fix the write() method call: use the right class for it and pass it the
correct arguments.
Member function pointers can't possibly be represented as function pointers,
they have a strictly bigger size and attempting to do it resulted in code
which, with a lot of bad casts, compiled, but crashed during run-time.
The proper solution is to represent C++ method pointers with an appropriate
opaque type, but for now this remains broken -- just make it explicitly broken
instead of pretending that it works when it actually has no chance to.
Let "namespace_spaces" unit test pass, as it's not really related to the
function pointers, by adding an explicit SWIGC test to it.
There is no need to syntax check the header if it's going to be really used,
so this is a small optimization.
It also separates building of the wrappers from testing them better.
No real changes, just reuse the commands defined in the C section of the top
level Examples/Makefile instead of (imperfectly, i.e. CFLAGS was forgotten
here) duplicating them in Examples/test-suite/c/Makefile.
Pass void pointers directly to C, don't handle them objects which was done by
default previously because we didn't define any specific typemaps for them.
This allows to reenable another test.
Don't try to export the variables whose type can't be represented in C
directly, this can't work.
Instead, just let use the default implementation to generate wrapper functions
for them.
Update "cpp_basic_global_var_class" unit test accordingly and remove it from
the list of the failing tests.
Catch errors in the generated headers even when we don't have a run test.
Unfortunately this uncovered that almost no unit tests actually pass, so many,
many more of them had to be disabled.
Enum element somehow lose the single quotes around them, compensate for it in
C module code (other modules use module-specific constvalue feature to work
around it, but it seems better to do it in SWIG itself rather than leaving the
user code to deal with it).
This finally makes the "enums" unit test pass.
Declare the variable as int as this is how variables of enum types are stored
(although this would have to be revised when support for C++11 base enum type
is added) and, although ugly, this at least allows the generated code to
compile.
This fixes some (but not all yet) errors in the "enums" and "cpp_enum" unit
tests.
Define enum type and enum values as the elements of this enum instead of using
preprocessor #defines for them.
This fixes a couple of enum-related unit tests.
Implement the check for duplicate SWIG_derives_from<> specializations which
could happen if a template type with default parameters was exported both with
implicit default values used for these parameters and the same values
specified explicitly.
This makes the code more complicated and is very rarely needed (in addition to
the above, the template class must also have a base class to trigger the bug),
but it does happen and used to work, so restore this after breaking it in the
last commit and reenable the template_default2 unit test.
Don't populate the typenames array for each and every created object and don't
search it when deleting every object, this is O(N) in number of classes and is
completely impractical for any big library where N can easily be several
thousands. Use destructor function which will correctly destroy the object
instead.
Also don't store each created objects in the global registry, there doesn't
seem to be any point in it.
And, in fact, don't bother with the typenames at all, just use another
pseudo-virtual function for checking whether a class inherits from a class
with the given name.
There is unfortunately one problem with the new approach: it doesn't work when
the same C++ type is wrapped under different names as this results in multiple
specializations of SWIG_derives_from<> for this type. But this is a relatively
rare situation (but which does arise in template_default2 unit test, which had
to be disabled) and could be fixed in the future by completely resolving the
type, including the default template parameters values, and checking if
SWIG_derives_from had been already specialized for it. In the meanwhile, this
regression is not a big deal compared to the advantages of the new approach.
The proxy layer, and all the extra complexity associated with it, seemed to be
only necessary in order to try to allow using the same name for the wrapped
global functions as were used for them in the original C or C++ code being
wrapped. However this could simply never work in all cases, notably it didn't
work at all when using ELF shared libraries under Unix as the functions with
the same name defined in the main program were interposed and replaced the
functions defined in the shared library, meaning that the proxy function foo()
called wrapper function _wrap_foo() which called back into proxy function
foo() itself again, resulting in guaranteed stack overflow. The only possible
way to fix this would be to use "protected" ELF visibility for the original
functions, but this is not always possible (e.g. if the sources of the
original library are not available) and not simple even when it is and,
besides, protected visibility has its own problems -- notably by making it
impossible to hook the library functions when you actually want to do it.
Besides, proxy-based approach simply couldn't work at all when using static
linking as it resulted in two copies of the function with the same name
Most importantly, however, the main task of this module is to wrap C++
classes, not C functions, and renaming them in the wrapper is not necessary at
all in this case as there is no conflict with the original names in this case.
So simply drop the idea of generating a separate proxy header and generate a
header declaring the functions declared in the wrapper instead and, also, do
not give them "_wrap_" prefix whenever possible, i.e. only do it for the
global functions.
This simplifies SWIG code itself and makes it simpler to use its output as
it's not necessary to link both with the wrapper (dynamically) and with the
proxy (statically) and it's not enough to link with the wrapper only and it
can be done in any way (i.e. either statically or dynamically).
As a side effect of this change, Swig_name_proxy() is not necessary any more
and was removed, eliminating the only difference with the master branch in any
source file other than c.cxx itself.
Allow defining FAILING_{C,CPP,MULTI_CPP}_TESTS variables to exclude some tests
from the unit tests suite. This is useful to disable tests failing for some
language only.
Make "make check-c-examples" perform the correct build commands, e.g. not link
the proxy code into the shared library as this can't work because it defines
the same functions that are already present in it.
Also fix the c_xxx targets to work when SWIG is built in a separate build
directory.
Finally, simplify them by removing the unnecessary variables.
Notice that std_vector example still doesn't build, but at least now it is due
to a real problem in the C module and not makefile bugs.
