[C#] Add C# wchar_t * director typemaps
2022-04-20: cminyard
Fix an issue where newlines were not properly generated
for godirectorin typemaps. If you have a virtual function
not assigned to zero, in some cases it won't generate a
newline and you will see errors:
example.go:1508:3: expected ';', found swig_r
when compiling the go code.
Also add an example of using goin and godirectorin and add
a test for this situation.

#2257 Fix new Ruby 3.2 warning "undefining the allocator of T_DATA
class swig_runtime_data".
2022-04-07: olly
#1750 SWIG now recognises and ignores Doxygen group commands `@{` and `@}`.
2022-04-06: wsfulton
./configure now enables C++11 and later C++ standards testing by default (when
running: 'make check').
The options to control this testing are the same:
./configure --enable-cpp11-testing
./configure --disable-cpp11-testing
But the former is now the default and the latter can be used to turn off C++11 and
later C++ standards testing.
2022-04-06: wsfulton
[Python] #1635 The "autodoc" feature no longer overrides Doxygen comments
in the generated docstring.
If a "docstring" feature is present it will still override a Doxygen comment.
If the "autodoc" feature is also present, the combined "autodoc" and "docstring"
will override the Doxygen comment. If no "docstring" is present then the
"autodoc" feature will not be generated when there is a Doxygen comment.
This way the "autodoc" feature can be specified and used to provide documentation
for 'missing' Doxygen comments.

[Python] #1684 Use different capsule names with and without -builtin
Types generated with and without -builtin are not compatible. Mixing
them in a common type list leads to crashes. Avoid this by using
different capsule names: "type_pointer_capsule" without -builtin and
"type_pointer_capsule_builtin" with.
2022-03-25: wsfulton
The debug command line options that display parse tree nodes
(-debug-module, -debug-top, -debug-symtabs) now display previously hidden
linked list pointers which are useful for debugging parse trees.
Added new command line option -debug-quiet. This suppresses the display
of most linked list pointers and symbol table pointers in the parse tree nodes.
The keys in the parse tree node are now shown in alphabetical order.
2022-03-24: wsfulton
#2244 Fix using declaration in derived class bugs when all the base
class's overloaded methods were overridden in the derived class -
fixes "multiply defined" errors.
2022-03-23: wsfulton
[Python] #1779 The -py3 option is deprecated and now has no effect on the
code generated. Use of this option results in a deprecated warning.
The related SWIGPYTHON_PY3 macro that this option defined is no longer generated.
Note that %pythonnondynamic feature generates a metaclass that works on both
Python 2 and Python 3.
2022-03-21: wsfulton
[Python] #1779 pyabc.i for abstract base classes now supports versions of
Python prior to 3.3 by using the collection module for these older versions.
Python-3.3 and later continue to use the collections.abc module.
The -py3 option no longer has any effect on the %pythonabc feature.
2022-03-21: jschueller, jim-easterbrook, wsfulton
[Python] #2137 C++ static member functions no longer generate a "flattened"
name in the Python module. For example:
s = example.Spam()
s.foo() # Spam::foo() via an instance
example.Spam.foo() # Spam::foo() using class method
example.Spam_foo() # Spam::foo() "flattened" name
The "flattened" name is no longer generated, but can be generated
by using the new -flatstaticmethod option.

[Python] #1779 SWIG's Python test-suite and examples are now
run with Python 3 by default. To run them with Python 2, set
PY2 to a non-empty value, e.g.:
make check-python-test-suite PY2=1
2022-03-16: olly
[Go] #683 -intgosize is now optional - if not specified the
generated C/C++ wrapper code will use ptrdiff_t for intgo and
size_t for uintgo.

#1524 %interface family of macros no longer contain the getter/setter
methods for wrapping variables. The interface only contains
virtual and non-virtual instance methods, that is, no static methods.
Enums are also no longer added to the interface (affects Java only where
they were missing from the proxy class, C# never had them in the interface).
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2022-03-12: wsfulton
#1277 Fixes for the family of %interface macros, %interface,
%interface_impl and %interface_custom fixes for overloaded methods
in an inheritance chain.
When C++ methods are not able to be overloaded in a derived class,
such as when they differ by just const, or the target language
parameters types are identical even when the C++ parameter types
are different, SWIG will ignore one of the overloaded methods with
a warning. A %ignore is required to explicitly ignore one of the
overloaded methods to avoid the warning message. Methods added
in the derived classes due to one of the %interface macros are now
similarly ignored/not added to the derived class.
The methods added to the derived classes can now also be modified
via %feature and %rename.
2022-03-08: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Treat a nil argument as a NULL pointer.
2022-03-08: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Add documentation notes about thread local storage.

#1006 SWIG now copes with an interface filename specified on the
command line which contains a closing parenthesis `)`, and more
generally with attributes to `%include` and `%import` which
are quoted and contain parentheses.

[Tcl] https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1290/
Fix SWIG_AsWCharPtrAndSize() to actually assign to result
variable. It looks like SWIG/Tcl wide character handling is
currently fundamentally broken except on systems which use wide
characters as the system encoding, but this should fix wrapping
functions which take a wide string as a parameter on Microsoft
Windows.
2022-03-07: olly
[Javascript] #682 Fix handling of functions which take void*.
2022-03-06: olly
SWIG should now reliably exit with status 0 if the run was
successful and status 1 if there was an error (or a warning and
-Werror was in effect).
Previously in some situations SWIG would try to exit with the
status set to the number of errors encountered, but that's
problematic - for example if there were 256 errors this would
result in exit status 0 on most platforms. Also some error
statuses have special meanings e.g. those defined by <sysexits.h>.
Also SWIG/Javascript tried to exit with status -1 in a few places
(which typically results in exit status 255).
2022-03-05: wsfulton
#1441 Fix using declaration in derived class incorrectly introducing a method
from a base class when the using declaration is declared before the method
declaration. Problem occurred when within a namespace and the parameter types
in the method signatures were not fully qualified.
2022-03-05: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Treat non-const references as pointers.
2022-03-05: ianlancetaylor
In SWIG Go testsuite, fail test if "go build" fails.
2022-03-03: olly
#1901 #2223 SWIG should now always exit cleanly if memory
allocation fails, including removing any output files created
during the current run.
Previously most places in the code didn't check for a NULL return
from malloc()/realloc()/calloc() at all, typically resulting in
undefined behaviour; some places used assert() to check for a NULL
return (which is a misuse of assert() and such checks disappear if
built with NDEBUG defined leaving us back with undefined
behaviour).
2022-03-03: olly
#891 Report errors for typemap attributes without a value
(previously SWIG segfaulted) and for typemap types with a value
(previously the value was quietly ignored).
The old way of specifying a language name in the typemap attributes
is no longer supported (it has been deprecated for 16 years).
2022-03-02: geographika, wsfulton
[Python] #1951 Add Python variable annotations support.
Both function annotations and variable annotations are turned on using the
"python:annotations" feature. Example:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
struct V {
float val;
};
The generated code contains a variable annotation containing the C float type:
class V(object):
val: "float" = property(_example.V_val_get, _example.V_val_set)
...
Python 3.5 and earlier do not support variable annotations, so variable
annotations can be turned off with a "python:annotations:novar" feature flag.
Example turning on function annotations but not variable annotations globally:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
%feature("python:annotations:novar");
or via the command line:
-features python:annotations=c,python:annotations:novar
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2022-02-27: wsfulton
[Python] #735 #1561 Function annotations containing C/C++ types are no longer
generated when using the -py3 option. Function annotations support has been
moved to a feature to provide finer grained control. It can be turned on
globally by adding:
%feature("python:annotations", "c");
or by using the command line argument:
-features python:annotations=c
Also see entry dated 2022-03-02, regarding variable annotations.

#655 #1840 Add new warning WARN_LANG_USING_NAME_DIFFERENT to warn when a
method introduced by a using declaration in a derived class cannot
be used due to a conflict in names.
2022-02-24: olly
#1465 An invalid preprocessor expression is reported as a pair of
warnings with the second giving a more detailed message from the
expression evaluator. Previously SWIG prefixed the second message
with "Error:" - that was confusing as it's actually only a warning
by default so we've now dropped this prefix.
Before:
x.i:1: Warning 202: Could not evaluate expression '1.2'
x.i:1: Warning 202: Error: 'Floating point constant in preprocessor expression'
Now:
x.i:1: Warning 202: Could not evaluate expression '1.2'
x.i:1: Warning 202: Floating point constant in preprocessor expression
2022-02-23: olly
#1384 Fix a preprocessor expression evaluation bug. A
subexpression in parentheses lost its string/int type flag and
instead used whatever type was left in the stack entry from
previous use. In practice we mostly got away with this because
most preprocessor expressions are integer, but it could have
resulted in a preprocessor expression incorrectly evaluating as
zero. If -Wextra was in use you got a warning:
Warning 202: Error: 'Can't mix strings and integers in expression'
2022-02-21: davidcl
[Scilab] Improve 5.5.2, 6.0.0 and 6.1.0 support.
For Scilab 5, long names are reduced to small names preserving the
class prefix and accessor suffix (get or set).
For Scilab 6, long names with the class prefix and accessor suffix
should be used on the user code.
The `-targetversion` option has been removed as the generated code
now detects the Scilab version in loader.sce or builder.sce.

Fix to call cleanup code in exception situations and not to invoke
the freearg typemap twice in certain situations.
2022-02-15: olly
#300 #368 Improve parser handling of % followed immediately by
an identifier. If it's not a recognised directive the scanner
now emits MODULO and then rescans what follows, and if the parser
then gives a syntax error we report it as an unknown directive.
This means that `a%b` is now allowed in an expression, and that
things like `%std::vector<std::string>` now give an error rather
than being quietly ignored.
2022-02-11: adr26
[Python] #2154 Fix memory leak.
SWIG python objects were being freed after the corresponding SWIG
module information was destroyed in Python 3, causing leaks when as
a result the object destructor could not be invoked. To prevent this
misordering, SWIG python objects now obtain a reference to the
Python capsule wrapping the module information, so that the module
information is correctly destroyed after all SWIG python objects
have been freed (and corresponding destructors invoked).

#2196 Add alternative syntax for specifying fragments in typemaps.
New syntax:
%typemap("in", fragment="frag1", fragment="frag2", fragment="frag3") {...}
which is equivalent to:
%typemap(in, fragment="frag1,frag2,frag3") {...}
2022-02-07: olly
#1806 Remove support for the "command" encoder, which was mostly
intended for use in `%rename` - most uses can be achieved using
the "regex" encoder, so we recommend using that instead.
The "command" encoder suffers from a number of issues - as the
documentation for it admitted, "[it] is extremely slow compared to
all the other [encoders] as it involves spawning a separate process
and using it for many declarations is not recommended" and that it
"should generally be avoided because of performance
considerations".
But it's also not portable. The design assumes that `/bin/sh`
supports `<<<` but that's a bash-specific feature so it doesn't
work on platforms where `/bin/sh` is not bash - it fails on
Debian, Ubuntu and probably some other Linux distros, plus most
non-Linux platforms. Microsoft Windows doesn't even have a
/bin/sh as standard.
Finally, no escaping of the passed string is done, so it has
potential security issues (though at least with %rename the input
is limited to valid C/C++ symbol names).
2022-02-06: olly
#2193 -DFOO on the SWIG command line now sets FOO to 1 for

#80 #635 https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1139/
Add support for parsing common cases of `<` and `>` comparisons

to do without introducing conflicts into the parser grammar, but in
fact all reported cases have had parentheses around the comparison
and we can support that with a few restrictions on the left side of
`<`.

[PHP] #2014 Throw PHP exceptions instead of using PHP errors
PHP exceptions can be caught and handled if desired, but if they
aren't caught then PHP exits in much the same way as it does for a
PHP error.
In particular this means parameter type errors and some other cases
in SWIG-generated wrappers now throw a PHP exception, which matches
how PHP's native parameter handling deals with similar situations.
`SWIG_ErrorCode()`, `SWIG_ErrorMsg()`, `SWIG_FAIL()` and `goto thrown;`
are no longer supported (these are really all internal implementation
details and none are documented aside from brief mentions in CHANGES
for the first three). I wasn't able to find any uses in user interface
files at least in FOSS code via code search tools.
If you are using these:
Use `SWIG_PHP_Error(code,msg);` instead of `SWIG_ErrorCode(code);
SWIG_ErrorMsg(msg);` (which will throw a PHP exception in SWIG >= 4.1
and do the same as the individual calls in older SWIG).
`SWIG_FAIL();` and `goto thrown;` can typically be replaced with
`SWIG_fail;`. This will probably also work with older SWIG, but
please test with your wrappers if this is important to you.

[Python] #1985 Fix memory leaks:
1. Python object references were being incorrectly retained by
SwigPyClientData, causing swig_varlink_dealloc() never to run / free
memory. SwigPyClientData_New() / SwigPyClientData_Del() were updated
to fix the object reference counting, causing swig_varlink_dealloc()
to run and the memory swig_varlink owns to be freed.
2. SwigPyClientData itself was not freed by SwigPyClientData_Del(),
causing another heap leak. The required free() was added to
SwigPyClientData_Del()
3. Fix reference counting/leak of python cached type query
4. Fix reference counting/leak of SwigPyObject dict (-builtin)
5. Python object reference counting fixes for out-of-memory
scenarios were added to: SWIG_Python_RaiseOrModifyTypeError(),
SWIG_Python_AppendOutput(), SwigPyClientData_New(),
SwigPyObject_get___dict__() and SwigPyObject_format()
6. Add error handling for PyModule_AddObject() to
SWIG_Python_SetModule() (failure could be caused by OOM or a name
clash caused by malicious code)

[PHP] #1982 #1457 https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1339/
SWIG now only use PHP's C API to implement its wrappers, and no
longer generates PHP code to define classes. The wrappers should
be almost entirely compatible with those generated before, but
faster and without some previously hard-to-fix bugs.
The main notable difference is SWIG no longer generates a .php
wrapper at all by default (only if %pragma(php) code=... or
%pragma(php) include=... are specified in the interface file).
This also means you need to load the module via extension=...
in php.ini, rather than letting the dl() in the generated
.php wrapper load it (but dl() has only worked for command-line
PHP for some years now).
