1) The %extend directive can now optionally support one of the 'class', 'struct' or 'union'.
2) The SWIG library no longer uses the javatype, dtype or cstype typemaps, thereby
completely freeing them up for users to use without having to replicate the library
code that they previously added
Tested by changes to test: java_lib_arrays
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.
Add optional moduleimport attribute to %module so that the
default module import code can be overridden. See the
"Searching for the wrapper module" documentation in Python.html.
Example:
%module(moduleimport="import _foo") foo
$module also expands to the low-level C/C++ module name, so
the following is the same as above
%module(moduleimport="import $module") foo
Issue https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/769
Previously we emitted a separate one for every wrapped function,
but typically many functions have the same number of parameters
and combinations of parameters passed by reference or not.
This change significantly reduces both the size of the generated
wrapper, and of the compiled PHP extension module (e.g. by ~6% for
the stripped extension module for Xapian's PHP7 bindings).
This is SWIG's default for every language except PHP, and now is a
good time to make this change so that once we drop PHP5 support, we'll
have the same default everywhere. It's easy to override the default
with -cppext cxx to get the PHP5 behaviour.
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
Derive the class wrapping std::vector<> in Java from java.util.AbstractList<>.
This makes it possible to use it with various algorithms working with Java
collections and, maybe even more importantly, makes it possible to iterate
over the wrapped vectors using for-each loops.
This commit is based on the original patch by Volker Diels-Grabsch from
https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/patches/278/
The closure names used for builtin slots are mangled with their functype so
that overloaded C++ method names can be used for multiple slots.
For example:
%feature("python:slot", "mp_subscript", functype="binaryfunc") SimpleArray::__getitem__;
%feature("python:slot", "sq_item", functype="ssizeargfunc") SimpleArray::__getitem__(Py_ssize_t n);
will generate closures:
SWIGPY_SSIZEARGFUNC_CLOSURE(_wrap_SimpleArray___getitem__) /* defines _wrap_SimpleArray___getitem___ssizeargfunc_closure */
SWIGPY_BINARYFUNC_CLOSURE(_wrap_SimpleArray___getitem__) /* defines _wrap_SimpleArray___getitem___binaryfunc_closure */
Previously the return value of call_user_function() was ignored and we
checked an uninitialised value instead. Fixes#627. Based on patch
from Sergey Seroshtan.
