Overloading support for Javascript is generally incomplete as there are
no typecheck typemaps, so the overloading and NULL support added here
doesn't work and won't work until the typecheck typemaps are
implemented.
The typecheck typemaps succeed for non pointers (SWIGTYPE, SWIGTYPE&,
SWIGTYPE&&) when the equivalent to C NULL is passed from the target
language. This commit implements a fix for Python to not accept a Python
None for non-pointer types.
Issue #1202
* java-director-thread-name:
Add changes entry for setting Java thread name
Increased Java thread name size.
Java directors - more generic thread name setting
Use prctl method to get thread names, which is available on all NDK versions
Actually, pthread_getname_np is only available in recent versions of Android (API level >= 26).
Set thread name when attaching to Android JVM in SWIG Java director
* document-python-options:
Changes file update
Python -newvwm command line option remains undocumented
Document all the Python command line options
Python command line options tidyup
Remove redundant Python options: -nocastmode -nodirvtable -noextranative -nofastproxy
Tidy up Python command line options help text
* python-obfuscated-import-errors:
More Python module loading simplification
Simpler Python module loading
The Python module import logic has changed to stop obfuscating real ImportError problems.
Only one import of the low-level C/C++ module from the pure Python module is
attempted now. Previously a second import of the low-level C/C++ module was attempted
after an ImportError occurred and was done to support 'split modules'. A 'split module' is
a configuration where the pure Python module is a module within a Python package and the
low-level C/C++ module is a global Python module. Now a 'split module' configuration is
no longer supported by default. This configuration can be supported with a simple
customization, such as:
%module(package="mypackage", moduleimport="import $module") foo
or if using -builtin:
%module(package="mypackage", moduleimport="from $module import *") foo
instead of
%module(package="mypackage") foo
See the updated Python chapter titled "Location of modules" in the documentation.
Closes#848#1343
closes#1374
* enhance testing around multiple return values
Examples/test-suite/perl5/scilab_multivalue_runme.pl fails in
perl-5.28.1 compiled with -DDEBUGING without the typemap updates
* repair EXTEND() handling in typemaps
* Use PL_sv_undef for VOID_Object
This examples tests the SWIG generated module being placed into a directory and
then renamed __init__.py to convert the module into a package. This ability
stopped working in swig-3.0.9. However, only Python 2.7 or 3.3 and later work. If
Python 3.2 support is needed, use moduleimport in %module to customise the import
code.
