Vladimir Kalinin b63c4839fe Nested classes support
Closes #89
Squash merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/wkalinin/swig into wkalinin-nested

By Vladimir Kalinin
* 'master' of https://github.com/wkalinin/swig:
  CPlusPlusOut mode for Octave
  nested class illustration
  fixed "Abstract" flag for nested classes added an example enabled anonymous nested structs runtime test
  porting
  warnings disabled
  porting fixes
  java runtime tests ported
  nested class closing bracket offset fixed
  removed double nested template (not supported by %template parsing)
  template_nested test extended
  parent field made public
  property access fixed
  replaced tabs with spaces
  warning W-reorder
  deprecated warnings removed, derived_nested runtime test added
  optimized string indenting
  Nested classes indenting
  nested classes docs
  fixed the order in which flattened inner classes are added after the outer
  Private nested classes were getting into the type table.
  Java getProxyName() fix for nested classes fixes the case when nested classes is forward declared
  Fix for a case when a nested class inherits from the same base as the outer. (Base class constructor declaration is found first in this case)
  merge fix
  nested C struct first immediate declaration incorrectly renamed sample fixed
  tests updated to reflect nested classes support
  Java nested classes support (1)
  flattening should remove the link to the outer class
  access mode correctly set/restored for nested classes
  nested templates should be skipped while flattening (template nodes themselves, not expanded versions) also non-public nested classes should be ignored
  If nested classes are not supported, default behaviour is flattening, not ignoring flag "nested" is preserved, so, the nested classes can be ignored by user
  nested workaround test updated
  template instantiated within a class is marked as nested for ignoring purposes
  %ignore not applied to the nested classed, because "nested" flag is set too late
  typedef name takes precedence over the real name (reason?)
  unnamed structs should be processed for all the languages
  nested C struct instances are wrapped as "immutable"
  tree building
  typedef declaration for unnamed C structures fixed
  nested classes "flattening"
  fixed %ignoring nested classes
  renamed "nested" attribute to "nested:outer" added "nested" flag, to be used with $ignore (it is not removed while flattening) added nestedClassesSupported() function to the Language interface
  renamed "nested" attribute to "nested:outer" added "nested" flag, to be used with $ignore (it is not removed while flattening) added nestedClassesSupported() function to the Language interface
  tree iteration fix
  dirclassname variable names unified memory issue fixed
  merge error
  ignore unnamed structs for C++
  unnamed nested C structs naming & unnesting
  class added to classes hash under typedef name
  private nested classes skipped
  test updated due to nested templates support
  anonymous structs with inheritance fixed nested_class test to allow anonymous structs w/o declarator
  tests updated: nested workaround removed from namespace_class.i propagated nested template declaration to the C++ file
  injected members scope
  nested tempplates fixes, nested structures in "C" mode parsing added utility function "appendSibling" (like "appendChild")
  nested unnamed structures parsing fixes, access mode restored on nested class end, tdname is properly patched with outer class name prefix
  memory management fixes
  nested templates (1)
  Nested unnamed structs
  Nested class support (1)
  Nested class support (1)

SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)

Version: 3.0.0 (in progress)

Tagline: SWIG is a compiler that integrates C and C++ with languages
         including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, D, Go, Lua,
         Octave, R, Scheme (Guile, MzScheme/Racket, CHICKEN), Ocaml,
         Modula-3, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI) and Pike.
         SWIG can also export its parse tree into Lisp s-expressions and
         XML.

SWIG reads annotated C/C++ header files and creates wrapper code (glue
code) in order to make the corresponding C/C++ libraries available to
the listed languages, or to extend C/C++ programs with a scripting
language.

Up-to-date SWIG related information can be found at

        http://www.swig.org

A SWIG FAQ and other hints can be found on the SWIG Wiki:

        http://www.dabeaz.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

License
=======
Please see the LICENSE file for details of the SWIG license. For
further insight into the license including the license of SWIG's
output code, please visit

        http://www.swig.org/legal.html

Release Notes
=============
Please see the CHANGES.current file for a detailed list of bug fixes and
new features for the current release. The CHANGES file contains bug fixes
and new features for older versions. A summary of changes in each release
can be found in the RELEASENOTES file.

Documentation
=============
The Doc/Manual directory contains the most recent set of updated
documentation for this release. The documentation is available in
three different formats, each of which contains identical content.
These format are, pdf (Doc/Manual/SWIGDocumentation.pdf), single
page html (Doc/Manual/SWIGDocumentation.html) or multiple page html
(other files in Doc/Manual). Please select your chosen format and
copy/install to wherever takes your fancy.

There is some technical developer documentation available in the
Doc/Devel subdirectory.  This is not necessarily up-to-date, but it
has some information on SWIG internals.

Documentation is also online at http://www.swig.org/doc.html.

Backwards Compatibility
=======================
The developers strive their best to preserve backwards compatibility
between releases, but this is not always possible as the overriding
aim is to provide the best wrapping experience. Where backwards
compatibility is known to be broken, it is clearly marked as an
incompatibility in the CHANGES and CHANGES.current files.

See the documentation for details of the SWIG_VERSION preprocessor
symbol if you have backward compatibility issues and need to use more
than one version of SWIG.

Installation
============
Please read the Doc/Manual/Preface.html#Preface_installation for
full installation instructions for Windows, Unix and Mac OS X.
The INSTALL file has generic build and installation instructions for
Unix users.

Testing
=======
The typical 'make -k check' can be performed on Unix operating systems.
Please read Doc/Manual/Preface.html#Preface_testing for details.

Examples
========
The Examples directory contains a variety of examples of using SWIG
and it has some browsable documentation.  Simply point your browser to
the file "Example/index.html".

The Examples directory also includes Visual C++ project 6 (.dsp) files for
building some of the examples on Windows. Later versions of Visual Studio
will convert these old style project files into a current solution file.

Known Issues
============
There are minor known bugs, details of which are in the bug tracker, see
http://www.swig.org/bugs.html.

Troubleshooting
===============
In order to operate correctly, SWIG relies upon a set of library
files.  If after building SWIG, you get error messages like this,

    $ swig foo.i
    :1. Unable to find 'swig.swg'
    :3. Unable to find 'tcl8.swg'

it means that SWIG has either been incorrectly configured or
installed.  To fix this:

    1.  Make sure you remembered to do a 'make install' and that
        the installation actually worked.  Make sure you have
        write permission on the install directory.

    2.  If that doesn't work, type 'swig -swiglib' to find out
        where SWIG thinks its library is located.

    3.  If the location is not where you expect, perhaps
        you supplied a bad option to configure.  Use
        ./configure --prefix=pathname to set the SWIG install
        location.   Also, make sure you don't include a shell
        escape character such as ~ when you specify the path.

    4.  The SWIG library can be changed by setting the SWIG_LIB
        environment variable.  However, you really shouldn't
        have to do this.

If you are having other troubles, you might look at the SWIG Wiki at
http://www.dabeaz.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl.

Participate!
============
Please report any errors and submit patches (if possible)!  We only
have access to a limited variety of hardware (Linux, Solaris, OS-X,
and Windows). All contributions help.

If you would like to join the SWIG development team or contribute a
language module to the distribution, please contact the swig-devel
mailing list, details at http://www.swig.org/mail.html.
