`array_functions(TYPE, NAME)' generates a `new_foo(size)' function that
allocates a new array of the given type. When compiling in C, the array
is initialized with `calloc()', which shows that the intent was to have
the array be zero-initialized. When in C++, however, the array was not
getting initialized, so it could contain random garbage after creation,
when the type was a POD type.
This change makes `new_foo(size)' create a value-initialized array when
in C++, as per the C++ standard's 5.3.4.15 that says that adding a pair
of parentheses at the end of a new-expression does that.
Hi
Would it be possible to add the following 2 typedefs to std_ios.i?
typedef basic_ios<char> ios;
typedef basic_ios<wchar_t> wios;
at present, it contains only
%template(ios) basic_ios<char>;
%template(wios) basic_ios<wchar_t>;
This means however that things like std::ios::openmode are currently not
recognised by SWIG. With the above typedefs, they are. Similar typedefs
should probably be added in std_iostream.i for ostream etc.
Also, while checking std_ios.i, it seems that the definition of basic_ios
has a copy-paste error in the private section (the constructor is still as
ios_base). To avoid confusion, I suggest to change that. Below is a diff
with the suggested changes.

Move to construct on first use idiom for singleton definition,
which prevents problems with singletons between ruby swig modules
in an environment with multiple modules on MacOS 10.9 with xcode 5.1.
Before this fix, data was being shared between modules which caused
a crash on shutdown of the ruby interpreter if more than one
module was loaded at a time.
* Renamed SWIG_Lua_equal to SWIG_Lua_class_equal
* If class has no __eq implemented, then default __eq is provided.
Default __eq compares actual pointers stored inside Lua userdata
JSObjectMakeError automatically populates the "message" field, and possibly other fields I don't know about. This seems to be the most robust way to create an exception object.
Thanks to Brian Barnes again for the tip on JSObjectMakeError.
It is unclear what the correct handling is for JavaScriptCore. (Nobody bothers to document this in JSCore.) Unlike our other problem where we incorrectly assume JSObjectRef when the functions want JSValueRef, this time Apple is demanding the JSObjectRef. Like our other problem, I assume it is unsafe to try to convert Undefined into a JSObjectRef.
So reverting to NULL seems like the safer bet for this specific case. Perhaps the other alternative is to return an exception object or an error object. But I would like to see JSCore document this before trying.
According to this:

Returning NULL instead of an actual JSValueRef for a return value of a function could lead to crashes. I think I have seen related weirdness in the past when I failed to return a proper type to JSCore which resulted in very hard to understand behavior.
So this patch changes those return NULLs to return JSValueMakeUndefined().
I thought about JSObjectMakeError, but I don't fully understand the intent of the Error object and can't find any relevant real world examples of it being used. However, everybody seems to be using JSValueMakeUndefined().
This patch should be low impact since this is only triggered on an error condition.
