Version 1.3.18 (In progress)
|
||
============================
|
||
03/06/2003: mrose (Mark Rose)
|
||
The short-lived "-fdirectors" command line option has been
|
||
removed. To enable directors, instead use the extended %module
|
||
directive as follows:
|
||
|
||
%module(directors="1") modulename
|
||
|
||
03/06/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
The long long typemaps have been rewritten so that they can be more
|
||
easily used with non ISO compilers, like Visual C++. For example
|
||
if you are wrapping the Windows 64 bit type __int64 the long long
|
||
typemaps can be used with %apply:
|
||
|
||
%apply long long { __int64 };
|
||
__int64 value1(__int64 x);
|
||
|
||
__int64 will now appear in the generated code instead of long long.

|
||
*** DEVELOPER CHANGE ***
|
||
Swig module mutation has been changed slightly. When a language
|
||
class method wants to save node attributes, it now uses one of the
|
||
following functions:
|
||
|
||
Swig_require()
|
||
Swig_save()
|
||
|
||
The first argument to these functions is a namespace in which
|
||
saved attributes are placed. For example,this code
|
||
|
||
Node *n;
|
||
Swig_save("cDeclaration",n,"type","parms","name",NIL);
|
||
|
||
saves the attributes as "cDeclaration:type", "cDeclaration:parms",
|
||
and so forth. If necessary, a language module can refer to
|
||
old values by using this special namespace qualifier.
|
||
|
||
In addition to this, a special attribute "view" contains the name
|
||
of the last namespace used to save attributes. In the above
|
||
example, "view" would have the value "cDeclaration". The value
|
||
of "cDeclaration:view" would have the previous view and so forth.
|
||
|
||
Swig_restore(n) restores a node to the state before the last
|
||
Swig_require() or Swig_save() call.
|
||
|
||
Note: This change makes it easier for language modules to refer
|
||
to old values of attributes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
03/06/2003: mrose (Mark Rose)
|
||
Merged the cross-language polymorphism patch. When enabled, C++
|
||
"proxy" classes (called directors) are generated for each specified
|
||
C++ class. Directors pass method calls from C++ to Python, similar
|
||
to the way the usual proxy (shadow) classes pass method calls from
|
||
Python to C++. Together, these two types of proxies allow C++
|
||
classes that are extended in Python to behave just like ordinary
|
||
C++ classes and be used in C++ like native objects.
|
||
|
||
This feature is still very experimental and is disabled by default.
|
||
To enable director support, specify '-fdirectors' on the SWIG command
|
||
line or in the SWIG_FEATURES environment variable. In the interface
|
||
file, add %feature("director") to generate directors for all classes
|
||
that have virtual methods.
|
||
|
||
See http://stm.lbl.gov/~tm2/swig/ProxyDoc.html for more details.
|
||
|
||
|
||
03/03/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed a small glitch in typemap local variable replacement. If you had
|
||
a typemap like this:
|
||
|
||
%typemap(in) type ($1_type temp) {
|
||
...
|
||
temp = ...;
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
and no occurrence of "$1_type" appeared in the body, then the local
|
||
variable type wouldn't be substituted.
|
||
|
||
03/03/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
[CSharp] New version of the CSharp module which is typemap based.
|
||
It also uses ECMA C# and no longer uses Microsoft Visual C++.NET
|
||
glue. This means that it will work on non-Windows platforms.
|
||
Contributed by Neil Cawse.
|
||
|
||
02/27/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 653548 ] error parsing casting operator definition.
|
||
SWIG now ignores casting operators declared outside of a class.
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
inline A::operator char *() { ... }
|
||
|
||
Bug reported by Martin Casado.
|
||
|
||
02/27/2003: beazley
|
||
Added support for anonymous bit-fields. For example:
|
||
|
||
struct Foo {
|
||
int x : 4;
|
||
int : 4;
|
||
int y : 8;
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
Anonymous bit-fields are ignored by SWIG. Problem
|
||
reported by Franz H<>pfinger.
|
||
|
||
02/26/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
[Java] Better typemaps in the Examples/java/typemap example and also
|
||
fixes subtle bug when using the StringBuffer typemaps more than once.
|
||
|
||
02/26/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 642112 ] Constants char bug.
|
||
|
||
02/26/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 675337 ] Partial template specialization not entirely working.
|
||
There was a subtle problem related to the naming and ordering of
|
||
template partial specialization arguments. Matching worked okay,
|
||
the resulting templates weren't expanded correctly.
|
||
|
||
02/25/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed problem with parsing (and generating code) for
|
||
references to arrays. For example:
|
||
|
||
int foo(int (&x)[10]);
|
||
|
||
02/25/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 635347 ] Compilation warning from libpy.c.
|
||
Reported by Daniel L. Rall.
|
||
|
||
02/25/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed a subtle problem with virtual method implementation
|
||
checking and typedef.
|
||
|
||
typedef int *intptr;
|
||
|
||
struct A {
|
||
virtual int *foo() = 0;
|
||
};
|
||
struct B : public A {
|
||
virtual intptr foo() { };
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
SWIG was treating these declarations as different even though
|
||
they are the same (via typedef).
|
||
|
||
02/25/2003: ljohnson (Lyle Johnson)
|
||
[Ruby] Added range checking for the NUM2USHRT macro, per [ 675353 ].
|
||
|
||
02/24/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed a subtle problem with the code that determined if a class is abstract
|
||
and can be instantiated. If you had classes like this:
|
||
|
||
struct A {
|
||
virtual int foo(int) = 0;
|
||
};
|
||
struct B : virtual A {
|
||
virtual int foo(int);
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
struct C : virtual A {
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
/* Note order of base classes */
|
||
struct D : B, C { }; /* Ok */
|
||
struct E : C, B { }; /* Broken */
|
||
|
||
then SWIG determined that it could instantiate D(), but not E().
|
||
This inconsistency arose from the depth-first search of the
|
||
inheritance hierarchy to locate the implementations of virtual
|
||
methods. This problem should now be fixed---SWIG will attempt
|
||
to locate any valid implementation of a virtual method by
|
||
traversing over the entire hierarchy.
|
||
|
||
02/22/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
[Java] Fix for using enum typemaps. The Java final static variable type
|
||
can be set using the jstype typemap, enabling enums to be mapped to
|
||
something other than int. Bug reported by Heiner Petith.
|
||
|
||
02/21/2003: songyanf (Tiger)
|
||
Added CSharp (C#) module prototype
|
||
i.e. csharp.cxx & csharp.h at Source/Modules/.
|
||
They are for test usage only now and need improvement.
|
||
The interface also need to be modified.
|
||
|
||
*** NEW FEATURE ***
|
||
|
||
02/20/2003: songyanf (Tiger)
|
||
Fixed problem with typedef with -fvirtual.
|
||
Similar as beazley's modification today.
|
||
|
||
02/20/2003: beazley
|
||
Added support for gcc-style variadic preprocessor macros.
|
||
Patch [ 623258 ] GCC-style vararg macro support.
|
||
Contributed by Joe Mason.
|
||
|
||
02/20/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 605162 ] Typemap local variables.
|
||
Reported by Lyle Johnson.
|
||
|
||
02/20/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed problem with abstract classes and typedef. For example:
|
||
|
||
class Foo {
|
||
public:
|
||
virtual void foo(int x) = 0;
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
typedef int Integer;
|
||
class Bar : public Foo {
|
||
public:
|
||
virtual void foo(Integer x);
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
SWIG was getting confused about the latter method---making Bar
|
||
abstract. Reported by Marcelo Matus.
|
||
|
||
02/19/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
[Java] %javaconst(flag) can also be used on enums as well as constants.
|
||
This feature enables true Java compiler constants so that they can be
|
||
used in Java switch statements. Thanks to Heiner Petith for patches.
|
||
|
||
02/19/2003: songyanf (Tiger)
|
||
Modified -fcompact feature to deal with PP lines
|
||
|
||
02/18/2003: beazley
|
||

|
||
Reported by Robert H. de Vries.
|
||
|
||
02/18/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed a few evil scoping problems with templates, namespaces, and the
|
||
%extend directive. Problem reported by Luigi Ballabio.
|
||
|
||
|
||
02/18/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
[Ruby] Improved support for Visual C++ and other native Windows compilers.
|
||
It is no longer necessary to specify "/EXPORT:Init_<module>", where <module> is the
|
||
swig module name when linking using these native Windows compilers.
|
||
|
||
02/15/2003: songyanf (Tiger)
|
||
Added -fvirtual option.
|
||
Reduce the lines and size of the wrapper file
|
||
by omitting redifined virtual function in children classes.
|
||
|
||
Modified -compact option to -fcompact option
|
||
|
||
Added -small option.
|
||
-small = -fvirtual -fcompact
|
||
And it can be extended by future feature options,
|
||
which are used to reduce wrapper file szie.
|
||
|
||
Added SWIG_FEATURES environment variable check.
|
||
To dynamically set the feature options such as -fcompact & -fvirtual
|
||
*** NEW FEATURE ***
|
||
|
||
02/13/2003: lenz
|
||
Updated Doc/Manual/Perl5.html to talk about C++ compile problems
|
||
configure.in now checks for PERL5_CCFLAGS
|
||
Runtime/Makefile.in and Example/Makefile.in now use PERL5_CCFLAGS
|
||
Added Lib/perl5/noembed.h which contains all the known macro conflicts
|
||
|
||
02/12/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 685410 ] C++ Explicit template instantiation causes SWIG to exit.
|
||
Fixes a syntax error with declarations similar to this:
|
||
|
||
template class std::vector<int>;
|
||
|
||
SWIG now ignores the instantiation and generates a warning message.
|
||
We might do more later. Reported by Thomas Williamson.
|
||
|
||
02/11/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
Rewrote bool typemaps to remove performance warning for compiling generated code
|
||
under Visual C++.
|
||
|
||
02/11/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
Fix for wrapping reference variables (const non-primitive and all non-const types)
|
||
for example:
|
||
int& i;
|
||
Class& c;
|
||
const Class& c;
|
||
|
||
02/11/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed more very subtle preprocessor corner cases related to recursive
|
||
macro expansion. For example:
|
||
|
||
#define cat(x,y) x ## y
|
||
|
||
cat(cat(1,2),3) // Produces: cat(1,2)3
|
||
|
||
#define xcat(x,y) cat(x,y)
|
||
|
||
xcat(xcat(1,2),3) // Produces 123
|
||
|
||
See K&R, 2nd Ed. p. 231.
|
||
|
||
02/10/2003: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
Fixed [ 683882 ] - patch submitted by F. Postma for SWIG to compile on HP-UX.
|
||
|
||
02/10/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed subtle preprocessor argument expansion bug. Reported by Marcelo Matus.
|
||
|
||
02/10/2003: songyanf
|
||
Added -compact option.
|
||
Reduce the lines and size of the wrapper file
|
||
by omitting comments and combining short lines.
|

Fixed [ 651355 ] Syntax error with cstring.i
|
||
Reported by Omri Barel.
|
||
|
||
02/07/2003: beazley
|
||
Fixed [ 663632 ] incompatibility with standard cpp.
|
||
This is a refinement that fixes this problem:
|
||
|
||
// Some macro with an argument
|
||
#define FOO(x) x
|
||
|
||
int FOO; /* Not a macro---no arguments */
|
||
|
||
02/05/2003: beazley

|
||
Further build changes:
|
||
- The SWIG executable is now built using a single Makefile.
|
||
- This makefile is generated by Automake (Source/Makefile.am).
|
||
- Dependency tracking and tags support are in this makefile.
|
||
- Automake 1.7.2 and Autoconf 2.54 minimum versions are needed to build SWIG from CVS.
|
||
- Running ./autogen.sh now installs Autoconf/Automake support files into
|
||
Tools/config and these files are no longer stored in CVS.
|
||
- Bug fixes in 'make install' for systems using .exe executable extension and
|
||
./configure --with-release-suffix=whatever
|
||
|
||
12/16/2002: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
More build changes:
|
||
- Autoconf's AC_CANONICAL_HOST replaces proprietary approach for detecting build host.
|
||
- Autoconf support files moved to Tools/config.
|
||
|
||
12/16/2002: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
Modifications to run on MacOS, submitted by Bernard Desgraupes.
|
||
Mainly ensuring generated files are output in the appropriate directory for
|
||
some modules.
|
||
|
||
12/11/2002: cheetah (William Fulton)
|
||
Various build modifications and bug fixes:
|
||
- Simplification of version string. Use autoconf's PACKAGE_VERSION instead.
|
||
- Build time removed from SWIG version.
|
||
- Using standard autoconf config header generation.
|
||
- Updated old autoconf macros as reported by autoupdate.
|
||
- Removed $prefix in autoconf from search paths as autoconf won't expand them.
|
||
- Subtle bug fix where 'make prefix=/somewhere; make clean; make prefix=/somwhere/else'
|
||
produced an executable using the incorrect library directories.
|
||
- Added -ldflags commandline option for MzScheme, Ocaml, Pike and PHP.
|
||
- Fixed reporting of compiler used when using -version commandline option.
|
||
- SWIG web address added to -version commandline option.
