swig/CHANGES.current

Version 1.3.36 (in progress)
=============================

06/22/2008: wsfulton
            [Java] Add a way to use AttachCurrentThreadAsDaemon instead of AttachCurrentThread
            in director code. Define the SWIG_JAVA_ATTACH_CURRENT_THREAD_AS_DAEMON macro, see
            Lib/java/director.swg.

06/21/2008: wsfulton
            [Ruby] Fix crashing in the STL wrappers (reject! and delete_if methods)

06/19/2008: wsfulton
            [Java, C#] C# and Java keywords will be renamed instead of just issuing a warning
            and then generating uncompileable code. Warning 314 gives the new name when a 
            keyword is found.

06/19/2008: wsfulton
            [R] Keyword handling added. R Keywords will be renamed as necessary.
            Warning 314 gives the new name when a keyword is found.

06/17/2008: mgossage
            [Lua] Added missing support for bool& and bool*. Added runtest for li_typemaps testcase.
            (Bug #1938142)

06/07/2008: bhy
            Added test case keyword_rename, then made the keyword renaming works properly
            by fixing Swig_name_make() for a incomplete condition checking.

06/02/2008: wsfulton
            [Java, C#] Fix enum wrappers when using -noproxy.

05/30/2008: bhy
            Added std::wstring into Lib/typemaps/primtypes.swg, since it is also a primitive 
            type in SWIG - fixed SF #1976978.

05/29/2008: wsfulton
            [Java, C#] Fix variable wrappers when using -noproxy.

05/29/2008: bhy
            [Python] Fixed a typo of %#ifdef in Lib/python/pycontainer.swg, which is related 
            to -extranative SWIG option - SF #1971977.

05/20/2008: wsfulton
            New partialcheck makefile targets for partial testing of the test-suite. These
            just invoke SWIG, ie no compilation and no runtime testing. It can be faster
            when developing by just doing a directory diff of the files SWIG generates
            against those from a previous run. Example usage from the top level directory:

              make partialcheck-test-suite
              make partialcheck-java-test-suite

            This change also encompasses more flexibility in running the test-suite, eg
            it is possible to prefix the command line which runs any target language test
            with a tool. See the RUNTOOL, COMPILETOOL and SWIGTOOL targets in the common.mk
            file and makefiles in the test-suite directory. For example it is possible to 
            run the runtime tests through valgrind using:

              make check RUNTOOL="valgrind --leak-check=full"

            or invoke SWIG under valgrind using:

              make check SWIGTOOL="valgrind --tool=memcheck"

05/19/2008: drjoe
            [R] Fixed define that was breaking pre-2.7.  Checked in
            patch from Soren Sonnenburg that creates strings in  
	    version independent way

05/15/2008: wsfulton
            [Java] Fix variable name clash in directors - SF #1963316 reported by Tristan.

05/14/2008: wsfulton
            Add an optimisation for functions that return objects by value, reducing
            the number of copies of the object that are made. Implemented using an
            optional attribute in the "out" typemap called "optimal". Details in 
            Typemaps.html.

05/11/2008: olly
	    [PHP] Check for %feature("notabstract") when generating PHP5 class
	    wrapper.

05/11/2008: wsfulton
            Fix SF #1943608 - $self substitution in %contract, patch submitted by
            Toon Verstraelen.

05/09/2008: olly
	    [PHP] Fix char * typemaps to work when applied to signed char * and
	    unsigned char * (uncovered by testcase apply_strings).

05/09/2008: wsfulton
            Fix wrapping of char * member variables when using allprotected mode.
            Bug reported by Warren Wang.

05/09/2008: olly
	    [PHP] Fix bad PHP code generated when wrapping an enum in a
	    namespace (uncovered by testcase arrays_scope).

05/09/2008: olly
	    [PHP] SWIG now runs the PHP testsuite using PHP5, not PHP4.  PHP4
	    is essentially obsolete now, so we care much more about solid PHP5
	    support.

05/07/2008: wsfulton
            STL fixes when using %import rather than %include and the Solaris Workshop
            compiler and the Roguewave STL.

05/07/2008: wsfulton
            Fix wrapping of overloaded protected methods when using allprotected mode.
            Bug reported by Warren Wang.

05/03/2008: wsfulton
            Commit patch #1956607 to add -MT support from Richard Boulton.
            This patch mirrors the gcc -MT option which allows one to change the default
            Makefile target being generated when generating makefiles with the -M family
            of options. For example:

              $ swig -java -MM -MT overiddenname -c++  example.i
              overiddenname: \
               example.i \
               example.h 

04/30/2008: mgossage
	    [Lua] Removed generation of _wrap_delete_XXXXX (wrappered destructor)
	    which was unused and causing warning with g++ -Wall.
	    Removed other unused warning in typemaps.i and other places.
	    Added Examples/lua/embed3, and run tests a few test cases.

04/24/2008: olly
	    [Python] Fix generated code for IBM's C++ compiler on AIX (patch
	    from Goeran Uddeborg in SF#1928048).

04/24/2008: olly
	    Rename BSIZE in Examples/test-suite/arrays_scope.i to BBSIZE to
	    avoid a clash with BSIZE defined by headers on AIX with Perl
	    (reported in SF#1928048).

04/20/2008: wsfulton
            Add the ability to wrap all protected members when using directors.
            Previously only the virtual methods were available to the target language.
            Now all protected members, (static and non-static variables, non-virtual methods
            and static methods) are wrapped when using the allprotected mode. The allprotected
            mode is turned on in the module declaration:

              %module(directors="1", allprotected="1") modulename
