Further corrections to pass SwigType * to methods expecting types
instead of passing readable type strings.
Swig_string_mangle() takes a generic String *, but it was calling
functions that require SwigType *. Swig_string_mangle_type() is
now provided for SwigType *r. The special template handling
on types now occurs in this function.
Further corrections to pass SwigType * to methods expecting types
instead of passing readable type strings.
Required reworking code that adds a fake inheritance for smart pointers
using the smartptr feature. Swig_smartptr_upcast() added as a support
function for this.
Fixes infinite loop due to () brackets in a non-type template
parameter containing an expression
Fixes#2418
Non-trivial expressions are still not qualified properly though.
Further switch to use rtypecheck typemaps instead of hard coded logic.
The full switch to typemaps is deferred until swig-4.2 as it can't be fully
backwards compatible. For now a warning is provided to help the
transition. It provides the full typemap that should be placed into
a user's interface file, for example:
%typemap("rtype") int32_t * "integer"
void testmethod(int32_t * i);
void testmethod();
If there is no rtypecheck typemap for int32_t *, the warning shown is:
example.i:7: Warning 750: Optional rtypecheck code is deprecated. Add the
following typemap to fix as the next version of SWIG will not work without it:
%typemap("rtypecheck") int32_t * %{ (is.integer($arg) || is.numeric($arg)) %}
The warning is shown for any code that previously used "numeric", "integer" or
"character" for the rtype typemap. Copying the rtypecheck typemap as
shown into the user interface file will provide the appropriate fix and
the warning will disappear. This is important to do as swig-4.2 will
not be able to provide this helpful warning.
- Fix for special variable $argtype expansion in rtypecheck typemap.
- Remove unnecessary () brackets when using rtypecheck typemap for
single parameter functions.
- Add rtypecheck typemaps for shared_ptr so that NULL can be used
in overloaded functions taking shared_ptr.
when incorrect types passed are passed to the overloaded methods.
Old unhelpful error message:
Error in f(...) : could not find function "f"
Example of new improved error message:
Error in use_count(k) :
cannot find overloaded function for use_count with argtypes (NULL)
- swig library files must be installed relatively to the exe into PREFIX/bin/Lib
- unset SWIG_LIB_WIN_UNIX else swiglib returns a list of 2 paths which
break cmake detection (and consistent to the provided windows binaries)
* rfix-cleaned-up:
Whitespace cleanup in R testcase
R shared_ptr fixes
align implementation of smartname to r class name
enable test for pointerreftest fixed by 752b7e8
switched implementation reference from java to python
fixes from code review
enable li_boost_shared_ptr in r-test-suite
typo in comment
fix naming of RClass when template of a shared_ptr
Fix problems in shared_ptr wrappers where the class names were
not consistent when using the shared_ptr template or the actual
underlying type. Move $R_class substitution to typemaps.
Issue #2386
Add support for special variable replacement in the $typemap()
special variable macro for R specific typemaps (rtype, rtypecheck,
scoercein, scoereout).
This reverts commit ea514c3961.
The new runme.js isn't used for node because it fails to run
multicpptest testcases, but was failing for jsc in CI.
The first problem is the new file is missing `new` where the two
objects are created, but fixing that reveals that this testcase
is currently broken for Javascript so just revert for now.
