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.

#2244 Fix using declaration in derived class bugs when all the base
|

[Python] #1779 The -py3 option is deprecated and now has no effect on the
|
||
code generated. Use of this option results in a deprecated warning.
|
||
The related SWIGPYTHON_PY3 macro that this option defined is no longer generated.
|
||
|
||
Note that %pythonnondynamic feature generates a metaclass that works on both
|
||
Python 2 and Python 3.

[Python] #1779 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.

[Python] #2137 C++ static member functions no longer generate a "flattened"
|
||
name in the Python module. For example:
|
||
|
||
s = example.Spam()
|
||
s.foo() # Spam::foo() via an instance
|
||
example.Spam.foo() # Spam::foo() using class method
|
||
example.Spam_foo() # Spam::foo() "flattened" name
|
||
|
||
The "flattened" name is no longer generated, but can be generated
|
||
by using the new -flatstaticmethod option.

#1524 %interface family of macros no longer contain the getter/setter

|
||
virtual and non-virtual instance methods, that is, no static methods.

#1277 Fixes for the family of %interface macros, %interface,
|
||
%interface_impl and %interface_custom fixes for overloaded methods
|
||
in an inheritance chain.
|
||
|
||
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 methods added to the derived classes can now also be modified
|
||
via %feature and %rename.

[Tcl] https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1290/
|
||
Fix SWIG_AsWCharPtrAndSize() to actually assign to result
|
||
variable. It looks like SWIG/Tcl wide character handling is
|
||
currently fundamentally broken except on systems which use wide
|
||
characters as the system encoding, but this should fix wrapping
|
||
functions which take a wide string as a parameter on Microsoft
|
||
Windows.

|
||
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).

#1441 Fix using declaration in derived class incorrectly introducing a method

#1901 #2223 SWIG should now always exit cleanly if memory
|
||
allocation fails, including removing any output files created
|
||
during the current run.
|
||
|
||
Previously most places in the code didn't check for a NULL return
|
||
from malloc()/realloc()/calloc() at all, typically resulting in
|
||
undefined behaviour; some places used assert() to check for a NULL
|
||
return (which is a misuse of assert() and such checks disappear if
|
||
built with NDEBUG defined leaving us back with undefined
|
||
behaviour).

#891 Report errors for typemap attributes without a value
|
||
(previously SWIG segfaulted) and for typemap types with a value
|
||
(previously the value was quietly ignored).

|
||
The old way of specifying a language name in the typemap attributes
|
||
is no longer supported (it has been deprecated for 16 years).

[Python] #1951 Add Python variable annotations support.
|
||
|
||
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

[Python] #735 #1561 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
|
||

#1465 An invalid preprocessor expression is reported as a pair of
|
||
warnings with the second giving a more detailed message from the
|
||
expression evaluator. Previously SWIG prefixed the second message
|
||
with "Error:" - that was confusing as it's actually only a warning
|
||
by default so we've now dropped this prefix.
|
||
|
||
Before:
|
||
|
||
x.i:1: Warning 202: Could not evaluate expression '1.2'
|
||
x.i:1: Warning 202: Error: 'Floating point constant in preprocessor expression'
|
||
|
||
Now:
|
||
|
||
x.i:1: Warning 202: Could not evaluate expression '1.2'
|
||
x.i:1: Warning 202: Floating point constant in preprocessor expression

2022-02-23: olly
|
||
#1384 Fix a preprocessor expression evaluation bug. A
|
||
subexpression in parentheses lost its string/int type flag and
|
||
instead used whatever type was left in the stack entry from
|
||
previous use. In practice we mostly got away with this because
|
||
most preprocessor expressions are integer, but it could have
|
||
resulted in a preprocessor expression incorrectly evaluating as
|
||
zero. If -Wextra was in use you got a warning:
|
||
|
||
Warning 202: Error: 'Can't mix strings and integers in expression'

[Scilab] Improve 5.5.2, 6.0.0 and 6.1.0 support.
|
||
|
||
For Scilab 5, long names are reduced to small names preserving the
|
||
class prefix and accessor suffix (get or set).
|
||
|
||
For Scilab 6, long names with the class prefix and accessor suffix
|
||
should be used on the user code.
|
||

||
The `-targetversion` option has been removed as the generated code
|
||

#300 #368 Improve parser handling of % followed immediately by
|
||
an identifier. If it's not a recognised directive the scanner
|
||
now emits MODULO and then rescans what follows, and if the parser
|
||
then gives a syntax error we report it as an unknown directive.
|
||
This means that `a%b` is now allowed in an expression, and that
|
||
things like `%std::vector<std::string>` now give an error rather
|
||
than being quietly ignored.

[Python] #2154 Fix memory leak.
|
||
|
||
SWIG python objects were being freed after the corresponding SWIG
|
||
module information was destroyed in Python 3, causing leaks when as
|
||
a result the object destructor could not be invoked. To prevent this
|
||
misordering, SWIG python objects now obtain a reference to the
|
||
Python capsule wrapping the module information, so that the module
|
||
information is correctly destroyed after all SWIG python objects
|
||
have been freed (and corresponding destructors invoked).

#1806 Remove support for the "command" encoder, which 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).

[PHP] #2014 Throw PHP exceptions instead of using PHP errors
|
||
|
||
PHP exceptions can be caught and handled if desired, but if they
|
||
aren't caught then PHP exits in much the same way as it does for a
|
||
PHP error.
|
||
|
||
In particular this means parameter type errors and some other cases
|
||
in SWIG-generated wrappers now throw a PHP exception, which matches
|
||
how PHP's native parameter handling deals with similar situations.
|
||
|
||
`SWIG_ErrorCode()`, `SWIG_ErrorMsg()`, `SWIG_FAIL()` and `goto thrown;`
|
||
are no longer supported (these are really all internal implementation
|
||
details and none are documented aside from brief mentions in CHANGES
|
||
for the first three). I wasn't able to find any uses in user interface
|
||
files at least in FOSS code via code search tools.
|
||
|
||
If you are using these:
|
||
|
||
Use `SWIG_PHP_Error(code,msg);` instead of `SWIG_ErrorCode(code);
|
||
SWIG_ErrorMsg(msg);` (which will throw a PHP exception in SWIG >= 4.1
|
||
and do the same as the individual calls in older SWIG).
|
||
|
||
`SWIG_FAIL();` and `goto thrown;` can typically be replaced with
|
||
`SWIG_fail;`. This will probably also work with older SWIG, but
|
||
please test with your wrappers if this is important to you.

[Python] #1985 Fix memory leaks:
|
||
|
||
1. Python object references were being incorrectly retained by
|
||
SwigPyClientData, causing swig_varlink_dealloc() never to run / free
|
||
memory. SwigPyClientData_New() / SwigPyClientData_Del() were updated
|
||
to fix the object reference counting, causing swig_varlink_dealloc()
|
||
to run and the memory swig_varlink owns to be freed.
|
||
|
||
2. SwigPyClientData itself was not freed by SwigPyClientData_Del(),
|
||
causing another heap leak. The required free() was added to
|
||
SwigPyClientData_Del()
|
||
|
||
3. Fix reference counting/leak of python cached type query
|
||
|
||
4. Fix reference counting/leak of SwigPyObject dict (-builtin)
|
||
|
||
5. Python object reference counting fixes for out-of-memory
|
||
scenarios were added to: SWIG_Python_RaiseOrModifyTypeError(),
|
||
SWIG_Python_AppendOutput(), SwigPyClientData_New(),
|
||
SwigPyObject_get___dict__() and SwigPyObject_format()
|
||
|
||
6. Add error handling for PyModule_AddObject() to
|
||
SWIG_Python_SetModule() (failure could be caused by OOM or a name
|
||
clash caused by malicious code)

[PHP] #1982 #1457 https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1339/
|
||
SWIG now only use PHP's C API to implement its wrappers, and no
|
||
longer generates PHP code to define classes. The wrappers should
|
||
be almost entirely compatible with those generated before, but
|
||
faster and without some previously hard-to-fix bugs.
|
||
|
||
The main notable difference is SWIG no longer generates a .php
|
||
wrapper at all by default (only if %pragma(php) code=... or
|
||
%pragma(php) include=... are specified in the interface file).
|
||
This also means you need to load the module via extension=...
|
||
in php.ini, rather than letting the dl() in the generated
|
||
.php wrapper load it (but dl() has only worked for command-line
|
||
PHP for some years now).
