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
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
Both the command line and %module options of the same name have been
removed. These were undocumented. The -outputtuple option returned a
Python tuple instead of a list, mostly typically in the OUTPUT
typemap implementations.
It unclear why a tuple instead of a list return type is needed and
hence this option has been removed as part of the simplification of
the SWIG Python command line options for SWIG 4.
Issue #1340.
The -cppcast option is still turned on by default. The -nocppcast option
to turn off the use of c++ casts (const_cast, static_cast etc) has been
removed. However, defining SWIG_NO_CPLUSPLUS_CAST will still generate C casts
instead of C++ casts for C++ wrappers.
This a revert of commit fc79264a48:
"Revert "Remove -cppcast and -nocppcast command line options""
The Scilab and Javascript casting problems are now fixed, so -cppcast
is now switched on as default.
The function pointer typemaps were not being used when the function
pointer is const, like ADD_BY_VALUE_C in the funcptr_cpp.i testcase:
%constant int (* const ADD_BY_VALUE_C)(const int &, int) = addByValue;
Problem affecting Javascript and observable when running test-suite with -cppcast.

Python fixed many APIs to use const char * instead of char * at around
Python 2.4. As we support 2.7 and later, we can now remove the non-const
string usage.
Types changed:
PyArg_ParseTuple
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords
PyArg_UnpackTuple
PyDict_SetItemString
PyMethodDef
PyModuleDef
SWIG_Python_UnpackTuple
SWIG_Python_str_FromChar
SWIG_addvarlink
swig_const_info
This option, if used, has not had any effect on Python 3 code since commit a863d3 9 years ago.
I think we can assume that it is not needed for Python 3.
Running the examples and test-suite (Python 2) doesn't change the code
paths with and without -safecstrings because only SWIG_OLDOBJ and SWIG_NEWOBJ
are used in the typemaps and the following code is thus unaltered by -safecstrings
(which sets SWIG_PYTHON_SAFE_CSTRINGS):
%#if defined(SWIG_PYTHON_SAFE_CSTRINGS)
if (*alloc != SWIG_OLDOBJ)
%#else
if (*alloc == SWIG_NEWOBJ)
%#endif
{
*cptr = %new_copy_array(cstr, len + 1, char);
*alloc = SWIG_NEWOBJ;
printf("safe strings: %s\n", *cptr ? *cptr : "NULLSTRING");
} else {
*cptr = cstr;
*alloc = SWIG_OLDOBJ;
}
Note: nosafecstrings was also the default and -O didn't actually change this.
A custom implementation for Py_None was implemented in SWIG_Py_None().
This was used by default on Windows only. It isn't clear why this
was done just for Windows. Now Py_None is the real Py_None on all
operating systems.
What SWIG calls "modern" classes are supported by Python 2.3 and up
which means they're supported by all the Python versions we aim to
support in 4.0.0.

This is a cherry-pick and merge from the patch in #1261
Activated if a user sets SWIG_JAVA_USE_THREAD_NAME.
Implementations provided for linux/android/macos/unix.
A user's implementation will be used if SWIG_JAVA_GET_THREAD_NAME is
defined. It must implement the function:
namespace Swig {
SWIGINTERN int GetThreadName(char *name, size_t len);
}
Otherwise the native thread name gets clobbered with "Thread-XX", which
makes debugging hard. This issue seems to be specific to the Android JVM.
Someone proposed a similar fix to SWIG:
https://github.com/swig/swig/pull/831
but abandoned it.
