Technical correction on how template parameters are stored in a Parm*.
Doesn't actually make any change, but they are now displayed correctly
when using debug options such as -debug-module.
Previously, specifying more than one simple template template parameter
resulted in a parse error. Now multiple template template parameters are
working including instantiation with %template. Example:
template <template<template<class> class, class> class Op, template<class> class X, class Y>
class C { ... };
Closes#624Closes#1021
decltype now accepts C++ expressions instead of just an ID, such as:
int i,j;
... decltype(i+j) ...
... decltype(&i) ...
These result in a warning for non-trivial expressions which SWIG cannot evaluate:
Warning 344: Unable to deduce decltype for 'i+j'.
See 'Type Inference' in CPlusPlus.html for workarounds.
Issue #1589
Issue #1590
Recent commits ensure types are correctly stored in SwigType *. In
particular template parameters are enclosed within '<(' and ')>'.
Now we can confidently handle template parameters as really being
delimited as such to fix an infinite loop handling template expressions
containing '<' or '>'. The previous implementation only assumed
template parameters were delimited by '<' and '>'.

Further corrections to pass SwigType * to methods expecting types
instead of passing readable type strings.
Swig_string_mangle() takes a generic String *, but it was calling
functions that require SwigType *. Swig_string_mangle_type() is
now provided for SwigType *.
The previous commit is a pre-requisite in order to prevent duplicate
symbols from being generated in the C++ wrappers.
Named duplicate class template instantiations now issue a warning and are ignored.
Duplicate empty class template instantiations are quietly ignored.
The test cases are fixed for this new behaviour.
This commit is a pre-requisite for the near future so that the Python
builtin wrappers can correctly use the SwigType_namestr function without
generating duplicate symbol names.
Further corrections to pass SwigType * to methods expecting types
instead of passing readable type strings.
Swig_string_mangle() takes a generic String *, but it was calling
functions that require SwigType *. Swig_string_mangle_type() is
now provided for SwigType *r. The special template handling
on types now occurs in this function.

Required reworking code that adds a fake inheritance for smart pointers
using the smartptr feature. Swig_smartptr_upcast() added as a support
function for this.
Fixes infinite loop due to () brackets in a non-type template
parameter containing an expression
Fixes#2418
Non-trivial expressions are still not qualified properly though.
Further switch to use rtypecheck typemaps instead of hard coded logic.
The full switch to typemaps is deferred until swig-4.2 as it can't be fully
backwards compatible. For now a warning is provided to help the
transition. It provides the full typemap that should be placed into
a user's interface file, for example:
%typemap("rtype") int32_t * "integer"
void testmethod(int32_t * i);
void testmethod();
If there is no rtypecheck typemap for int32_t *, the warning shown is:
example.i:7: Warning 750: Optional rtypecheck code is deprecated. Add the
following typemap to fix as the next version of SWIG will not work without it:
%typemap("rtypecheck") int32_t * %{ (is.integer($arg) || is.numeric($arg)) %}
The warning is shown for any code that previously used "numeric", "integer" or
"character" for the rtype typemap. Copying the rtypecheck typemap as
shown into the user interface file will provide the appropriate fix and
the warning will disappear. This is important to do as swig-4.2 will
not be able to provide this helpful warning.
- Fix for special variable $argtype expansion in rtypecheck typemap.
- Remove unnecessary () brackets when using rtypecheck typemap for
single parameter functions.
- Add rtypecheck typemaps for shared_ptr so that NULL can be used
in overloaded functions taking shared_ptr.
when incorrect types passed are passed to the overloaded methods.
Old unhelpful error message:
Error in f(...) : could not find function "f"
Example of new improved error message:
Error in use_count(k) :
cannot find overloaded function for use_count with argtypes (NULL)

not consistent when using the shared_ptr template or the actual
underlying type. Move $R_class substitution to typemaps.
Issue #2386
Add support for special variable replacement in the $typemap()
special variable macro for R specific typemaps (rtype, rtypecheck,
scoercein, scoereout).
Look up unknown base classes using SWIG_MangledTypeQueryModule().
Revert to using SWIG_TypeCheck() instead of SWIG_TypeCheckStruct()
as the latter doesn't seem to work for this case (at least for PHP
right now).
Add mod_runme.php as a regression test for this.
Adjust the PHP test harness not to set up reflection for the module
unless it's actually needed for a testcase. Currently the approach
to find the module name doesn't work for multi-module testcases.

Arrange that destructors of local C++ objects in the wrapper function
get run on SWIG_fail (which calls Rf_error() which calls longjmp()).
We achieve this by putting almost everything in the function in its
own block, and end that right before Rf_error() at which point those
destructors will get called.
Arrange that destructors of local C++ objects in the wrapper function
get run on SWIG_fail (which calls lua_error() which calls longjmp()).

Add Swig_obligatory_macros which must be called by each
target language to define SWIG_VERSION correctly
in the generated code, as well as the language specific
macro SWIGXXX where XXX is the target language name.
Drop the #ifdef SWIGXXX that was previously generated -
I can't see the point of this and if users are defining
this macro somehow, then users will need to change this
Closes#1050
Resolve the return type to correctly determine if the type is a pointer or
reference to a director class.
SwigType_refptr_count_return() recently added as a simpler fix is no
longer needed.
The conventional approach of using the "type" rather than "decl" to
analyse the return type is used instead too.
Issue #1823
No meaningful progress to update CFFI to experimental status
has been made since CFFI was disabled in SWIG-4.0.0 as the first
stage to removal. This commit is the final stage to remove it.
See issue #1966 for an attempt at updating CFFI to experimental
status. Anyone wishing for SWIG to support CFFI again might
want to utilise this work.
We had a banner for C, a banner for target languages (parameterised
to allow the comment sequence to be specified) and a special banner
for XML files in scilab.cxx.
The XML variant was only needed because the standard banner contains
`--` for a hyphen, so we now use ` - ` for that instead.
The C banner now calls Swig_banner_target_lang() with a suitable
comment sequence to print the actual banner text.
