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.

SWIG Source directory
Source/DOH - A core set of basic datatypes including
strings, lists, hashes, and files. Used
extensively by the rest of SWIG.
Source/Swig - Swig core. Type-system, utility functions.
Source/Preprocessor - SWIG C Preprocessor
Source/CParse - SWIG C Parser (still messy)
Source/Modules - Language modules.
Source/Include - Include files.
Historic directories which may be in CVS, but have been removed:
Source/Modules1.1 - Old SWIG-1.1 modules. Empty.
Source/LParse - Experimental parser. Officially dead
as CParse is more capable.
Source/SWIG1.1 - Old SWIG1.1 core. Completely empty now.
