When a director method throws an exception and it is caught by DirectorException
and passed back to Java using DirectorException::raiseJavaException, the Java
stack trace now contains the original source line that threw the exception.
Director exception handling code improved slightly to add some missing
ExceptionClear calls before calling JNI code.
This prevents the previously-set element value from being collected
before or during the call to setElement. Since C++ could still have
a reference to during that time, it could lead to misbehavior.

Typemap change for templates
The scoping rules around %template have been specified and enforced.
The %template directive for a class template is the equivalent to an
explicit instantiation of a C++ class template. The scope for a valid
%template instantiation is now the same as the scope required for a
valid explicit instantiation of a C++ template. A definition of the
template for the explicit instantiation must be in scope where the
instantiation is declared and must not be enclosed within a different
namespace.
For example, a few %template and explicit instantiations of std::vector
are shown below:
// valid
namespace std {
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
}
// valid
using namespace std;
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
// valid
using std::vector;
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
// ill-formed
namespace unrelated {
using std::vector;
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
}
// ill-formed
namespace unrelated {
using namespace std;
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
}
// ill-formed
namespace unrelated {
namespace std {
%template(vin) vector<int>;
template class vector<int>;
}
}
// ill-formed
namespace unrelated {
%template(vin) std::vector<int>;
template class std::vector<int>;
}
When the scope is incorrect, an error now occurs such as:
cpp_template_scope.i:34: Error: 'vector' resolves to 'std::vector' and
was incorrectly instantiated in scope 'unrelated' instead of within scope 'std'.
Previously SWIG accepted the ill-formed examples above but this led to
numerous subtle template scope problems especially in the presence of
using declarations and using directives as well as with %feature and %typemap.
Actually, a valid instantiation is one which conforms to the C++03
standard as C++11 made a change to disallow using declarations and
using directives to find a template.
// valid C++03, ill-formed C++11
using std::vector;
template class vector<int>;
Similar fixes for defining classes using forward class references have
also been put in place. For example:
namespace Space1 {
struct A;
}
namespace Space2 {
struct Space1::A {
void x();
}
}
will now error out with:
cpp_class_definition.i:5: Error: 'Space1::A' resolves to 'Space1::A' and
was incorrectly instantiated in scope 'Space2' instead of within scope 'Space1'.
This ensures NotImplemented is returned on error so that the Python
interpreter will handle the operators correctly instead of throwing an
exception. NotImplemented was not being returned for non-builtin wrappers
when the operator overload did not have a function overload.
