A PHP exception now gets translated to a C++ exception to skips over C++
code to get back to PHP, avoiding the need to gate every directorout
typemap on EG(exception).
This was used to store custom properties, but we can just ask the PHP
object to store them like it normally would, after checking for our
custom pseudo-properties.
It existed to work around const-correctness issues in older versions of
PHP's C API. It's conceivable user code might be using it, but unlikely
and the switch to creating classes via the API is a natural time for a
compatibility break.
Reportedly the code we were using in the directorin case gave segfaults
in PHP 7.2 and later - we've been unable to reproduce these, but the new
approach is also simpler and should be bit faster too.
Fixes#1527, #1975
Fix access to already released memory during PHP module shutdown, which
often didn't cause visible problems, but could result in segmentation
faults, bus errors, etc. Fixes#1170, reported by Jitka Plesníková.
PHP5 is no longer actively supported by the PHP developers and security
support for it ends completely at the end of 2018, so it doesn't make
sense to include support for it in the upcoming SWIG 4.0.0 release.
See #701.
- Rename class entry variables to SWIGTYPE_class_ce
- Refactor factory code to use SWIGTYPE_class_ce to create objects
- Refactor ConvertPtr to work of wrapped class objects.
- Change enum_scope_template test to use class enums.
- Move the conversion of void* of ptr in swig wrapper to class pointer to Lib files.
- Synchronize between old and new flow. Old flow to accept newly created objects,
with the use of a new property SWIG_classWrapper to newly created objects.
- ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO_EX to hold exact number of arguments required.
- Fix the constructor overloading bug in the in-house Swig_class_overload_dispatch function
- Add helper function to check if the class is wrapped.
- Add ZEND_ACC_ABSTRACT to virtual functions to make the class abstract.
- Change how wname is selected for staticmemberfn.
- Helper function to get names without namespace getNameWithoutNamespace.
- Fix bugs on class entry level at class handler.
- Move all entry level code to class handler from class decleration.
- Checking if base.item is null before using it.
- Check if the parent class is wrapped before using its class entry.
Code Refactor
- Refactor code for return type of SWIGTYPE
- Workaround for Namespaced classes.
- Refactor code of SWIG_SetZval to take care of objects in class constructor.
- Introduce SWIG_generalize_object to generalize each object to swig object wrapper.
- Catch feature:immutable instead of feature:warnfilter - 462 for missing setter.
- Refactor code to create PHP objects for all instances of value, reference and pointer return types of C++ objects.
- Introduce getAccessMode to get the Access Mode of a method for generating Wrapper.
- Refactor free_object creation to include need_free condition. This is to check if there is a need to free. (Virtual Protected Destructors)
- Support for feature:exceptionclass. Extends class Exception.
- Improve condition check in Director class constructor to distinguish between, extended class creation or not.
Swig::Director::swig_is_overridden_method is used.
- rewire return of type SWIGTYPE
- {NULL, NULL, NULL} to ZEND_FE_END
- feature:warnfilter - 462 of missing setter
- refactor code of return type (replaced)
- support conversion_operator
Register internal 'swig_runtime_data_type_pointer' constant as
"CONST_PERSISTENT" to avoid segmentation fault on module unload. Fixes
https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/859 reported by Timotheus Pokorra -
thanks also to Javier Torres for a minimal reproducer.
Leave PHP5 wrapping them as integers as this change could cause
incompatibilities.
Fixes issue https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/686 noted by Nishant
Gupta.
PHP5's C extension API has changed substantially so you need to use
-php7 to specify you want PHP7 compatible wrappers.
Fixes https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/571
