The debug command line options that display parse tree nodes
(-debug-module, -debug-top, -debug-symtabs) now display previously hidden
linked list pointers which are useful for debugging parse trees.
Added new command line option -debug-quiet. This suppresses the display
of most linked list pointers and symbol table pointers in the parse tree nodes.
The keys in the parse tree node are now shown in alphabetical order.
pyabc.i for abstract base classes now supports versions of Python
prior to 3.3 by using the collection module for these older versions.
Python-3.3 and later continue to use the collections.abc module.
The -py3 option no longer has any effect on the %pythonabc feature.
Correct logic for suppressing static methods.
Previous logic was missing director disown methods.
Add changes file entry for -flatstaticmethod.
Closes#2137
When C++ methods are not able to be overloaded in a derived class,
such as when they differ by just const, or the target language
parameters types are identical even when the C++ parameter types
are different, SWIG will ignore one of the overloaded methods with
a warning. A %ignore is required to explicitly ignore one of the
overloaded methods to avoid the warning message. Methods added
in the derived classes due to one of the %interface macros are now
similarly ignored/not added to the derived class.
The adding of additional methods into the parse tree is now more
robust and complete resulting in support for %feature and %rename
for the added methods.
Closes#1277
The initial prototype shown in these examples has a `len` parameter
but that the rest of the example is as if that parameter isn't there
so remove it from the initial prototype.

Calling assert() on a condition that's always false is not an
appropriate way to exit after emitting "Fatal error [...]" because
if NDEBUG is defined the assert() becomes a no-op and the error
stops actually being fatal.
Exit() is a wrapper for exit() by default, but SetExitHandler() allows
specifying a function to call instead.
This means that failures within DOH (e.g. Malloc() failing due to lack
of memory) will now perform cleanup such as removing output files.
This commit also cleans up exit statuses so SWIG should now reliably
exit with status 0 if the run was successful and status 1 if there was
an error (or a warning and -Werror was in effect).
Previously in some situations SWIG would try to exit with the status set
to the number of errors encountered, but that's problematic - for
example if there were 256 errors this would result in exit status 0 on
most platforms. Also some error statuses have special meanings e.g.
those defined by <sysexits.h>.
Also SWIG/Javascript tried to exit with status -1 in a few places (which
typically results in exit status 255).
Specifying a value on the typemap method now gives an error, e.g.:
%typemap(argout=123) char * ""
The old way of specifying a language name in the typemap attributes
is no longer supported (it has been deprecated for 16 years).
Closes#891
Both function annotations and variable annotations are turned on using the
"python:annotations" feature. Example:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
struct V {
float val;
};
The generated code contains a variable annotation containing the C float type:
class V(object):
val: "float" = property(_example.V_val_get, _example.V_val_set)
...
Python 3.5 and earlier do not support variable annotations, so variable
annotations can be turned off with a "python:annotations:novar" feature flag.
Example turning on function annotations but not variable annotations globally:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
%feature("python:annotations:novar");
or via the command line:
-features python:annotations=c,python:annotations:novar
Closes#1951
Python function annotations containing C/C++ types are no longer
generated when using the -py3 option. Function annotations support
has been moved to a feature to provide finer grained control.
It can be turned on globally by adding:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
or by using the command line argument:
-features python:annotations=c
The implementation is designed to be expandable to support different
annotations implementations. Future implementations could implement
something like the following for generating pure Python types:
%feature("python:annotations", "python");
or typing module types to conform to PEP-484:
%feature("python:annotations", "typing");
Closes#1561
Issue #735
- Improved documentation for using declarations.
- Issue new warning WARN_LANG_USING_NAME_DIFFERENT when there
is a conflict in the target language name to be used when
introducing a method via a using declaration. Previously
the method was silently ignored. Issue #1840. Issue #655.
This commit handles multi-version support at runtime, it
fixes:
* 5.5.2 - with cutted long identifier name
* 6.0.0 - with full string identifier
* 6.1.0 - with 1 or 0 output argument
It also improves the codebase by:
* Using `Char(X)` instead of `DohCheck(X)` and `Data(X)`
* Using `Len(X)` instead of `strlen()`
* Correctly detecting old Scilab versions
Add test for original syntax when using a single fragment key containing
the list of dependent fragments. I couldn't find a test for this.
Spaces in the fragment list don't seem to work - document it.
The "command" encoder was mostly intended for use in `%rename` - most
uses can be achieved using the "regex" encoder, so we recommend using
that instead.
The "command" encoder suffers from a number of issues - as the
documentation for it admitted, "[it] is extremely slow compared to all
the other [encoders] as it involves spawning a separate process and
using it for many declarations is not recommended" and that it "should
generally be avoided because of performance considerations".
But it's also not portable. The design assumes that `/bin/sh` supports
`<<<` but that's a bash-specific feature so it doesn't work on platforms
where `/bin/sh` is not bash - it fails on Debian, Ubuntu and probably
some other Linux distros, plus most non-Linux platforms. Microsoft
Windows doesn't even have a /bin/sh as standard.
Finally, no escaping of the passed string is done, so it has potential
security issues (though at least with %rename the input is limited to
valid C/C++ symbol names).
Fixes#1806
We were passing flags of DOH_REPLACE_ANY|DOH_REPLACE_FIRST in three
places, which doesn't make sense as those are mutually exclusive
concepts. In the current implementation DOH_REPLACE_FIRST wins in
this situation, so replace with that and clarify the docs.
Drop a method which has been deprecated then removed in Qt (but isn't
actually used in the example anyway) and clean up the steps a bit.
The example still doesn't build for me as the final step fails with:
File "_none_", line 1:
Error: Module `Dynlink' is unavailable (required by `Camlp4')
I know next to nothing about ocaml, so that may be something I've
failed to install, but I couldn't work out what. I think the Qt
library linking needs updating too - there doesn't seem to be a
single `-lqt` now, but I don't use Qt either.
Remove redundant NULL checks before free()/delete
The ISO C and C++ standards guarantee that it's safe to call these
on a NULL pointer, so it's not necessary for the calling code to
also check.
