|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This chapter gives you a brief overview about the SWIG
|
|
implementation of the C++17 standard.
|
|
There isn't much in C++17 that affects SWIG, however, work has only just begun on adding
|
|
C++17 support.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Compatibility note:</b> SWIG-4.0.0 is the first version to support any C++17 features.
|
|
</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
C++17 offers a more concise syntax for defining namespaces.
|
|
SWIG has support for nested namespace definitions such as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
namespace A::B::C {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the equivalent to the C++98 namespace definitions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
namespace A {
|
|
namespace B {
|
|
namespace C {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<H3><a name="CPlusPlus17_u8_char_literals">9.2.2 UTF-8 character literals</a></H3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
C++17 added UTF-8 (u8) character literals.
|
|
These are of type char.
|
|
Example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
char a = u8'a';
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
