Version 3.0.12 (27 Jan 2017)
============================
2017-01-27: wsfulton
[C#] #882 Fix missing filename in error messages when there is a problem
writing out C# files.
2017-01-27: briancaine
[Guile] #744 Fix compilation errors in Guile wrappers - regression
introduced in swig-3.0.11.
2017-01-24: andrey-starodubtsev
[Java] Apply #704 - director typemap improvements.
Memory leak fixes, add support for "directorargout" typemap and
add director support to typemaps.i.
2017-01-24: wsfulton
Enhance %extend to extend a class with template constructors, eg:
struct Foo {
%extend {
template<typename T>
Foo(int a, T b) {
...
}
}
};
%template(Foo) Foo::Foo<double>;
2017-01-22: wsfulton
Issue #876 Enhance %extend to extend a class with template methods, eg:
struct Foo {
%extend {
template<typename T>
void do_stuff(int a, T b) {
...
}
}
};
%template(do_stuff_inst) Foo::do_stuff<double>;
Similarly for static template methods.
2017-01-22: kwwette
[Octave] add support for version 4.2
- The Octave API now uses some C++11 features. It is recommended to use
the mkoctfile program supplied by Octave to compile the SWIG-generated
wrapper code, as mkoctfile will ensure the correct C++ compiler/options
are used. Otherwise, the value of `mkoctfile -p CXX` should be parsed
for any -std=* flags which might be present.
- Octave has dropped support for << and >> operators, so SWIG now
ignores them.
- The Octave error() function now raises C++ exceptions to propagate
Octave errors, so %exception directives may need to be modified.
For convenience the SWIG_RETHROW_OCTAVE_EXCEPTIONS macro can be used
to rethrow any Octave exceptions for Octave itself to handle, e.g.:
try {
$action // may call error()
}
SWIG_RETHROW_OCTAVE_EXCEPTIONS // error() exceptions are rethrown
catch(...) {
... // all other exceptions
}
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2017-01-16: wkalinin
[C#] Fix #733 regression introduced in swig-3.0.9.
Missing virtual function override in C# layer when using %import.
2017-01-16: fschlimb
Fix #813 template symbol name lookup bug when typedef names are the same but in different
namespaces.
2017-01-15: wsfulton
[C# D Java]
The SWIG library no longer uses the javatype, dtype or cstype typemaps, thereby
completely freeing them up for users to use without having to replicate the library
code that they previously added. The code previously generated by these typemaps
has been replaced by the new %proxycode directive. Their use in the library code
was fairly minimal:
C# cstype: std_array.i std_map.i std_vector.i
D dtype: std_vector.i
Java javatype: arrays_java.i
2017-01-14: wsfulton
The %extend directive can now optionally support one of the 'class', 'struct' or 'union'
keywords before the identifier name, for example:
struct X { ... };
%extend struct X { ... }
Previously this had to specified as:
struct X { ... };
%extend X { ... }
2017-01-13: wsfulton
[C# D Java] Add new %proxycode directive which is a macro for %insert("proxycode").
This is a way of adding pure C#/D/Java code into the appropriate proxy class, eg:
%extend Proxy2 {
%proxycode %{
public int proxycode2(int i) {
return i+2;
}
%}
}
%inline %{
struct Proxy2 {};
%}
There will then be a pure Java/C#/D method called proxycode2 in the Proxy2 class.
2016-12-31: ajrheading1
Issue #860 - Remove use of std::unary_function and std::binary_function
which is deprecated in C++11.
2016-12-30: olly
[PHP7] Register internal 'swig_runtime_data_type_pointer' constant
as "CONST_PERSISTENT" to avoid segmentation fault on module unload.
Fixes #859 reported by Timotheus Pokorra. Thanks also to Javier Torres
for a minimal reproducer.
Version 3.0.11 (29 Dec 2016)
============================
2016-12-24: wsfulton
[C#] Add %feature("csdirectordelegatemodifiers") to enable customization
of the delegate access modifiers generated in director classes.
Fixes issue #748.
2016-12-23: wsfulton
[Python] Fix builtin "python:slot" feature failing for tp_hash when using
hashfunc closure with a "Wrong type for hash function" for Python 2.
Issue #843.
2016-12-21: joequamt
Changed generation of functions so that only functions
that end in _set generate accessor functions rather than
looking for "set".
Change generation of operators to not have underscores
to start in R. Users need to provide custom names for these operator overloads.
2016-12-21: olly
Fix isfinite() checks to work with all C++11 compilers.
Fixes issues #615, #788 and #849.
2016-12-20: wsfulton
%namewarn unnecessarily caused keyword warnings for non-instantiated template classes
and duplicate warnings for instantiated template classes when keywords were used.
Issue #845.
2016-12-18: ezralanglois
[Python, Ruby, Octave] Memory leak fix on error in std::pair wrappers.
Issue #851.
2016-12-18: wsfulton
Zero initialize arrays when using %array_class and %array_functions.
2016-12-18: t-ikegami
[Python] Fix #446
Python %array_class of carrays.i failed with -builtin option.
2016-12-16: briancaine
[Guile] Patch #744 Added support for Guile's native pointer functionality
2016-12-01: wsfulton
[Python] Issue #769.
Add optional moduleimport attribute to %module so that the
default module import code can be overridden. See the "Searching for the wrapper module"
documentation in Python.html. Example:
%module(moduleimport="import _foo") foo
$module also expands to the low-level C/C++ module name, so the following is the
same as above
%module(moduleimport="import $module") foo
2016-11-30: olly
[PHP] Add support for PHP7. PHP5's C extension API has changed
substantially so you need to use -php7 to specify you want PHP7
compatible wrappers. The default extension for generated wrappers
is now .cxx (to match SWIG's default for every other language - to
generate foo_wrap.cpp you can run SWIG with -cppext cpp). Fixes
issue #571.
As part of this change, the language subdirectory for PHP5 has
changed from "php" to "php5" - if you are making use of the search
path feature where the language subdirectory of each directory
is also searched, you'll need to update your bindings. A simple
fix which works for older and newer SWIG is to add a symlink:
ln -s php php5
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2016-11-30: olly
[PHP] Only emit one copy of each distinct arginfo. Previously we
emitted a separate one for every wrapped function, but typically
many functions have the same number of parameters and combinations
of parameters passed by reference or not.
This change significantly reduces both the size of the generated
wrapper, and of the compiled PHP extension module (e.g. by ~6% for
the stripped extension module for Xapian's PHP7 bindings).
2016-11-28: wsfulton
Fix %rename override of wildcard %rename for templates. For example:
%rename(GlobalIntOperator) *::operator bool; // wildcard %rename
%rename(XIntOperator) X::operator bool; // fix now overrides first %rename above
OR
%rename(XIntOperator) X<int>::operator bool; // fix now overrides first %rename above
template<typename T> struct X {
operator bool();
...
};
%template(Xint) X<int>;
This also fixes %rename override of global %rename for templates. For example:
// Global rename to make all functions start with a lower case letter
%rename("%(firstlowercase)s", %$isfunction ) "";
%rename(woohoo) W::Woo; // fix now overrides above %rename
template<typename T> struct W {
W Woo();
...
};
%template(Wint) W<int>;
The above also introduces a possibly unexpected change. Many of the STL containers
provided by SWIG use %rename to rename some methods, eg in std::vector, push_back
is renamed to add in Java. Previously this intended rename did not happen when using
using global %rename rules and the method would remain as push_back, but is now
renamed to add. Some more info in issue #856.

2016-11-26: m7thon
[Python] Issue #709 - improved wrapping of division operators
'from __future__ import division' now works in Python 2 whether or not the
-py3 flag is used.
2016-11-12: joequant
[R] Issue #697 - fix comma issue with overload methods
2016-11-12: joequant
[R] Issue #555 - R runtime needs stdio.h
2016-11-02: wsfulton
[Python] Issue #816 - fix compilation error when using -extranative and -builtin.
2016-11-02: liorgold
Patch #741 - Add support for C++11 alias templates, see updated CPlusPlus11.html
documentation.
2016-10-30: myd7349
[C#] Patch #740 Add std_array.i for C# for wrapping std::array.
Patch also enhances std::vector<std::wstring> C# wrappers with additional functions
(Contains, IndexOf, LastIndexOf and Remove).
2016-10-30: tobilau
[Java] Fix wrappers for wstring parameters in director methods to cleanup local
ref after director callback has finished.
2016-10-23: wsfulton
[C#] Add missing csdirectorin VOID_INT_PTR and csdirectorout VOID_INT_PTR typemaps.
2016-10-23: jiulongw
Patch #781 - Fix wrapping of C compound expressions containing char constants
in quotes such as:
#define H_SUPPRESS_SCALING_MAGIC (('s'<<24) | ('u'<<16) | ('p'<<8) | 'p')
enum DifferentTypes {
typecharcompound='A'+1,
typecharcompound2='B' << 2
};
2016-10-13: wsfulton
[Python] Issue #808 - fix Python pickling and metaclass for builtin wrappers.
The metaclass (SwigPyObjectType) for SWIG objects was not defined in
a way that let importlib successfully import the Python wrappers.
The pickle module previously failed to pickle objects because it couldn't
determine what module the SWIG wrapped objects were in.
2016-09-29: wsfulton
[Allegrocl, CFFI, GO, Javascript, Ocaml, R, Scilab]
Add missing support for the "ret" typemap in a few target languages.
The documentation also now has info on the "ret" typemap.
2016-09-27: ahmed-usman
[xml] Handle template parameters correctly.
2016-09-27: dontpanic92
[Go] Fix argument names in inherited functions taking more than 8
parameters. Fixes #795.
2016-09-26: smarchetto
[Scilab] mlists that map pointers can be given a custom type name.
2016-09-25: wsfulton
Patch #793 from q-p to expand exception handling to include std::bad_cast
in std_except.i.
2016-09-24: olly
[PHP] Fix code generated for feature("director:except") -
previously the return value of call_user_function() was ignored and
we checked an uninitialised value instead. Fixes #627. Based on
patch from Sergey Seroshtan.
2016-09-22: wsfulton
[Python] More flexible python builtin slots for overloaded C++ function.
The closure names used for builtin slots are mangled with their functype so
that overloaded C++ method names can be used for multiple slots.
For example:
%feature("python:slot", "mp_subscript", functype="binaryfunc") SimpleArray::__getitem__;
%feature("python:slot", "sq_item", functype="ssizeargfunc") SimpleArray::__getitem__(Py_ssize_t n);
will generate closures:
SWIGPY_SSIZEARGFUNC_CLOSURE(_wrap_SimpleArray___getitem__) /* defines _wrap_SimpleArray___getitem___ssizeargfunc_closure */
SWIGPY_BINARYFUNC_CLOSURE(_wrap_SimpleArray___getitem__) /* defines _wrap_SimpleArray___getitem___binaryfunc_closure */
Previously only one name was defined: _wrap_SimpleArray___getitem___closure.
Hence the overloaded __getitem__ method can be used to support both mp_subscript and sq_item slots.
2016-09-17: wsfulton
[Python] Fix iterators for containers of NULL pointers (or Python None) when using
-builtin. Previously iteration would stop at the first element that was NULL.
2016-09-16: olly
[Javascript] Fix SWIG_exception() macro to return from the current
function. Fixes #789, reported by Julien Dutriaux.
2016-09-16: olly
[PHP] Fix SWIG_exception() macro to return from the current function.
Fixes #240, reported by Sergey Seroshtan.
2016-09-12: xypron
[C#] Patch #786 Keyword rename to be CLS compliant by adding an underscore
suffix instead of an underscore prefix to the C symbol name. Please use an explicit
%rename to rename the symbol with a _ prefix if you want the old symbol name.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2016-09-09: olly
[Python] Fix import handling for Python 2.6 to work in a frozen
application. Fixes #145, reported by Thomas Kluyver.
2016-09-02: smarchetto
[Scilab] Pointers are mapped to mlist instead of tlist
(mlist better for scilab overloading)
2016-09-02: olly
[PHP] Fix "out" typemap for member function pointers and "in"
typemap for char INPUT[ANY].
2016-09-01: wsfulton
[Python] More efficient Python slicing.
Call reserve for container types that support it to avoid repeated
memory reallocations for new slices or slices that grow in size.
2016-09-01: wsfulton
[Python] #771 - Make builtin types hashable by default.
Default hash is the underlying C/C++ pointer. This matches up with testing for
equivalence (Py_EQ in SwigPyObject_richcompare) which compares the pointers.
2016-08-22: wsfulton
[Python] The following builtin slots can be customized like other slots via the
"python:<x>" and "python:slot" features where <x> is the appropriate slot name:
tp_allocs
tp_bases
tp_basicsize
tp_cache
tp_del
tp_dealloc
tp_flags
tp_frees
tp_getset
tp_is_gc
tp_maxalloc
tp_methods
tp_mro
tp_new
tp_next
tp_prev
tp_richcompare
tp_subclasses
tp_weaklist
was_sq_ass_slice
was_sq_slice
A few documentation improvements for slot customization.
2016-08-09: joequant
[R] Patch #765 Fix extern "C" header includes for C++ code.
2016-08-05: olly
[xml] Fix how the output filename is built to avoid problems when
it contains the embedded strings ".c", ".cpp" or ".cxx".
Fixes #540 reported by djack42.
2016-07-01: wsfulton
Fix corner case of wrapping std::vector of T pointers where a pointer to a pointer of T
also exists in the wrapped code. SF Bug 2359417 (967).
2016-06-26: wkalinin
[Java, C#] Patch #681 Fix seg fault when ignoring nested classes.
2016-06-25: mromberg
[Python] #711 Fix -castmode and conversion of signed and unsigned integer types.
See 2015-12-23 CHANGES entry for details of these improvements when they were
implemented for the default options (ie not using -castmode).
2016-06-25: ahnolds
Patch #730 - Fix %implicitconv for overloaded functions when using
-castmode or -fastdispatch options.
The result is that in all overload cases where there are multiple possibilities
with the same number of arguments, the dispatch function will first check for
exact (aka non implicit) matches, and then subsequently check for implicit
casting matches. This was already happening in the normal dispatch situation,
and in the -fastdispatch case two passes through the candidates were happening,
just with SWIG_POINTER_IMPLICIT_CONV always set. After this patch, it is not set
on the first pass, and then set on the second pass.
2016-06-25: liorgold
Patch #727 - Add support for C++11 type aliasing.
Version 3.0.10 (12 Jun 2016)
============================
2016-06-06: mromberg
[Python] Patch #698. Add support for -relativeimport for python 2.7, so -py3 is no
longer also required for relative import support.
2016-06-05: mromberg
[Python] Patch #694 - Fix package import regressions introduced in swig-3.0.9.
1) The code in 3.0.9 did not fall back to 'import _foo' if 'import bar._foo' failed
(assuming bar.foo was the main module). Every place _foo is imported now first tries
it from the package where foo was found and if that fails tries _foo as a global module.
2) The separate block of Python code that injected code to pull in the attributes
from _foo when -builtin is used made use of the -py3 switch to either do
'from ._foo import *' or "from _foo import *". This block of code no longer does this
and instead checks the Python version at runtime to switch between the two syntaxes.
In summary, swig-3.0.10 has been modified to ease the creation of wrapper modules
that can be fully made part of a Python package. SWIG no longer
assumes the dynamically linked C module is a global module.
The dynamic module can now be placed into either the same package as the pure Python
module or as a global module. Both locations are used by the Python wrapper to
locate the C module.
However, this could cause a backwards incompatibility with some code
that was relying on the ability of "from package import _module" to
pull attributes out of the package directly. If your code populates a
module (which is also a package) with attributes that are SWIG
generated modules which were not loaded in a conventional way,
swig-3.0.8 and earlier may have worked due to 'from package import
_module' bypassing a real import and pulling your module in as an
attribute. This will no longer work. Since this is not a common (or
even recommended) practice, most folk should not be affected.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2016-05-31: wsfulton
Fix #690 - Smart pointer to %ignored class doesn't expose inherited methods.
Regression introduced in swig-3.0.9.
Version 3.0.9 (29 May 2016)
===========================
2016-05-24: mromberg
[Python] Patch #612 - Add support for Python's implicit namespace packages.
2016-05-23: wsfulton
[Ruby] Fix #602 - Error handling regression of opaque pointers introduced
in swig-3.0.8 when C functions explicitly reset a pointer using 'DATA_PTR(self) = 0'.
An ObjectPreviouslyDeleted error was incorrectly thrown when the pointer was used
as a parameter.
2016-05-17: tamuratak
[Ruby] Patch #651 - Correct overloaded function error message when function is
using %newobject.
2016-05-17: aurelj
[Ruby] Patch #582 - add support for docstring option in %module()
2016-05-14: wsfulton
Fix #434 - Passing classes by value as parameters in director methods did not create
a copy of the argument leading to invalid memory accesses if the object was used
after the upcall into the target language. Passing arguments by value shouldn't give
rise to these sorts of memory problems and so the objects are now copied and ownership
of their lifetime is controlled by the target language.
2016-05-07: wsfulton
Fix #611. Fix assertion handling defaultargs when using %extend for a template
class and the extended methods contain default arguments.
2016-05-05: ejulian
[Python] Patch #617. Fix operator/ wrappers.
2016-05-02: wsfulton
Fix #669. Don't issue warning about ignoring base classes when the derived class is
itself ignored.
2016-04-18: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Fix use of goout typemap when calling base method by
forcing the "type" attribute to the value we need.
2016-04-17: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Fixes for Go 1.6: avoid returning Go pointers from
directors that return string values; add a trailing 0 byte
when treating Go string as C char*.
2016-04-06: smarchetto
[Scilab] #552 Make Scilab runtime keep track of pointer types
Instead of a Scilab pointer which has no type, SWIG Scilab maps a
pointer to a structure tlist containing the pointer adress and its type.
2016-04-02: ahnolds
[Python] Apply #598. Fix misleading error message when attempting to read a non-existent
attribute. The previous cryptic error message:
AttributeError: type object 'object' has no attribute '__getattr__'
is now replaced with one mentioning the attribute name, eg:
AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute 'bar'
2016-04-02: derkuci
[Python] Patch #610 to fix #607.
Fix single arguments when using python -builtin -O with %feature("compactdefaultargs")
2016-03-31: wsfulton
Fixes #594. Fix assertion for some languages when wrapping a C++11 enum class that
is private in a class.
Also don't wrap private enums for a few languages that attempted to do so.
2016-03-31: wsfulton
[Java] unsigned long long marshalling improvements when a negative number
is passed from Java to C. A cast to signed long long in the C layer will now
result in the expected value. No change for positive numbers passed to C.
Fixes #623.
2016-03-22: alexwarg
[Lua] #398 Fix lua __getitem + inheritance
The new handling of classes in Lua (not merging methods into the derived classes)
breaks for classes that provide a __getitem function. The __getitem function
prevents method calls to any method defined in a base class. This fix calls
__getitem only if the member is not found using recursive lookup.

[Python] #563 Stop generating unnecessary _swigconstant helpers.
2016-03-16: richardbeare
[R] #636 Add extra std::vector numeric types
2016-03-14: wsfulton
[Java] Add std_array.i for C++11 std::array support.
2016-03-12: wsfulton
[Java, C#, D] Fix static const char member variables wrappers with %javaconst(1)
%csconst(1) or %dmanifestconst.
This fixes the case when an integer is used as the initializer, such as:
struct W { static const char w = 100; };
Fix generated code parsing enum values using char escape sequences
when these values appear in the Java code (usually when using %javaconst(1))
such as:
enum X { x1 = '\n', x2 = '\1' };
Similarly for static const member char variables such as:
struct Y { static const char y = '\n'; }
Likewise for D and %dmanifestconstant. For C# and %csconst(1), char
values in C# are now hex escaped as C# doesn't support C octal escaping.
2016-03-11: wsfulton
[Java C#] Add support for treating C++ base classes as Java interfaces
instead of Java proxy classes. This enable some sort of support for
multiple inheritance. The implementation is in swiginterface.i and
provides additional macros (see Java.html for full documentation):
%interface(CTYPE)
%interface_impl(CTYPE)
%interface_custom("PROXY", "INTERFACE", CTYPE)
2016-03-01: wsfulton
Add rstrip encoder for use in %rename. This is like the strip encoder but
strips the symbol's suffix instead of the prefix. The example below
will rename SomeThingCls to SomeThing and AnotherThingCls to AnotherThing:
%rename("%(rstrip:[Cls])s") "";
class SomeThingCls {};
struct AnotherThingCls {};

Fix isfinite() check to work with GCC6. Fixes
issue #615 reported by jplesnik.

2016-02-07: kwwette
[Octave] recognise various unary functions
* Use __float__() for numeric conversions, e.g. when calling double()
* Map various unary functions, e.g. abs() to __abs__(), see full list
in section 32.3.10 of manual; only available in Octave 3.8.0 or later

2016-02-06: pjohangustavsson
[C#] Fix duplicate symbol problems when linking the source generated
from multiple SWIG modules into one shared library for the -namespace
option. The namespace is now mangled into the global PInvoke function
names.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2016-01-27: ahnolds
[Python] Added support for differentiating between Python Bytes
and Unicode objects using by defining SWIG_PYTHON_STRICT_BYTE_CHAR
and SWIG_PYTHON_STRICT_UNICODE_WCHAR.
2016-01-27: steeve
[Go] Ensure structs are properly packed between gc and GCC/clang.
2016-01-25: ahnolds
[Python] Support the full Python test suite in -classic mode
* Convert long/unsigned long/long long/unsigned long long to PyInt
rather than PyLong when possible. Certain python functions like
len() require a PyInt when operating on old-style classes.
* Add support for static methods in classic mode, including support
for pythonappend, pythonprepend, and docstrings.
* Removing the use of __swig_getmethods__ for static member methods
since they will always be found by the standard argument lookup
* Fix a bug where the wrong type of exception was caught when
checking for new-style class support
2016-01-23: ahnolds
[Go] Enable support for the Go test-suite on OSX:
* The linker on OSX requires that all symbols (even weak symbols)
are defined at link time. Because the function _cgo_topofstack is
only defined starting in Go version 1.4, we explicitly mark it as
undefined for older versions of Go on OSX.
* Avoid writing empty swigargs structs, since empty structs are not
allowed in extern "C" blocks.

Improved size_t and ptrdiff_t typemaps to support large values
on platforms where sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(unsigned long) and
sizeof(ptrdiff_t) > sizeof(long).

The pdf documentation is now generated by wkhtmltopdf and has colour
for the code snippets just like the html documentation!
2015-12-23: ahnolds
[Python] Fixes for conversion of signed and unsigned integer types:
No longer check for PyInt objects in Python3. Because PyInt_Check
and friends are #defined to the corresponding PyLong methods, this
had caused errors in Python3 where values greater than what could be
stored in a long were incorrectly interpreted as the value -1 with
the Python error indicator set to OverflowError. This applies to
both the conversions PyLong->long and PyLong->double.
Conversion from PyLong to long, unsigned long, long long, and
unsigned long long now raise OverflowError instead of TypeError in
both Python2 and Python3 for PyLong values outside the range
expressible by the corresponding C type. This matches the existing
behavior for other integral types (signed and unsigned ints, shorts,
and chars), as well as the conversion for PyInt to all numeric
types. This also indirectly applies to the size_t and ptrdiff_t
types, which depend on the conversions for unsigned long and long.

[Ruby] STL ranges and slices fixes.
Ruby STL container setting slices fixes:
Setting an STL container wrapper slice better matches the way Ruby
arrays work. The behaviour is now the same as Ruby arrays. The only
exception is the default value used when expanding a container
cannot be nil as this is not a valid type/value for C++ container
elements.
Obtaining a Ruby STL container ranges and slices fixes:
Access via ranges and slices now behave identically to Ruby arrays.
The fixes are mostly for out of range indices and lengths.
- Zero length slice requests return an empty container instead of nil.
- Slices which request a length greater than the size of the container
no longer chop off the last element.
- Ranges which used to return nil now return an empty array when the
the start element is a valid index.
Ruby STL container negative indexing support improved.
Using negative indexes to set values works the same as Ruby arrays, eg
%template(IntVector) std::vector<int>;
iv = IntVector.new([1,2,3,4])
iv[-4] = 9 # => [1,2,3,9]
iv[-5] = 9 # => IndexError

[Java] Fix potential security exploit in generated Java classes.
The swigCPtr and swigCMemOwn member variables in the generated Java
classes are now declared 'transient' by default. Further details of the exploit
in Android is being published in an academic paper as part of USENIX WOOT '15:
https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot15/workshop-program/presentation/peles.
In the unlikely event that you are relying on these members being serializable,
then you will need to override the default javabody and javabody_derived typemaps
to generate the old generated code. The relevant typemaps are in the Lib directory
in the java.swg, boost_shared_ptr.i and boost_intrusive_ptr.i files. Copy the
relevant default typemaps into your interface file and remove the 'transient' keyword.

[Python] Fix #475. Improve docstring indentation handling.
SWIG-3.0.5 and earlier sometimes truncated text provided in the docstring feature.
This occurred when the indentation (whitespace) in the docstring was less in the

SWIG-3.0.6 gave a 'Line indented less than expected' error instead of truncating
the docstring text.
Now the indentation for the 'docstring' feature is smarter and is appropriately
adjusted so that no truncation occurs.

Support for special variable expansion in typemap attributes. Example usage expansion
in the 'out' attribute (C# specific):
%typemap(ctype, out="$*1_ltype") unsigned int& "$*1_ltype"
is equivalent to the following as $*1_ltype expands to 'unsigned int':
%typemap(ctype, out="unsigned int") unsigned int& "unsigned int"
Special variables can be used within special variable macros too. Example usage expansion:
%typemap(cstype) unsigned int "uint"
%typemap(cstype, out="$typemap(cstype, $*1_ltype)") unsigned int& "$typemap(cstype, $*1_ltype)"
Special variables are expanded first and hence the above is equivalent to:
%typemap(cstype, out="$typemap(cstype, unsigned int)") unsigned int& "$typemap(cstype, unsigned int)"
which then expands to:
%typemap(cstype, out="uint") unsigned int& "uint"
2015-07-22: lindleyf
Apply patch #439 - support for $typemap() (aka embedded typemaps or special variable

%typemap(cstype, out="$typemap(cstype, unsigned int)") unsigned int& "$typemap(cstype, unsigned int)"
is equivalent to:
%typemap(cstype, out="uint") unsigned int& "uint"

SWIG no longer generates a wrapper for a class' constructor if that class has
any base class with a private destructor. This is because your compiler should
not allow a class to be instantiated if a base has a private destructor. Some
compilers do, so if you need the old behaviour, use the "notabstract" feature, eg:
%feature("notabstract") Derived;
class Base {
~Base() {}
};
struct Derived : Base {};

[Python] Add new feature "python:cdefaultargs" to control default argument
code generation. By default, SWIG attempts to convert C/C++ default argument values
into Python values and generates code into the Python layer with these values.
Recent versions of SWIG are able to convert more of these values, however, the
new behaviour can be circumvented if desired via this new feature, such that
the default argument values are obtained from the C layer and not the Python layer.
For example:
struct CDA {
int fff(int a = 1, bool b = false);
};
The default code generation in the Python layer is:
class CDA(_object):
...
def fff(self, a=1, b=False):
return _default_args.CDA_fff(self, a, b)
Adding the feature:
%feature("python:cdefaultargs") CDA::fff;
Results in:
class CDA(_object):
...
def fff(self, *args):
return _default_args.CDA_fff(self, *args)
Some code generation modes, eg -builtin and -fastproxy, are unaffected by this as
the default values are always obtained from the C layer.

Version 3.0.0 (16 Mar 2014)
===========================
2014-03-16: wsfulton
C++11 support initially developed as C++0x support by Matevz Jekovec as a Google Summer of Code
project has been further extended. The C++11 support is comprehensive, but by no means complete
or without limitations. Full details for each new feature in C++11 is covered in the
CPlusPlus11.html chapter in the documentation which is included in SWIG and also available
online at http://www.swig.org/Doc3.0/CPlusPlus11.html.

[Lua] Numerous Lua improvements:
1. %nspace support has been added. Namespaces are mapped to tables in the module, with the same
name as the C++ namespace.
2. Inheritance is now handled differently. Each class metatable keeps a list of class bases instead
of merging all members of all bases into the derived class.
3. The new metatables result in differences in accessing class members. For example:
%module example
struct Test {
enum { TEST1 = 10, TEST2 = 20 };
static const int ICONST = 12;
};
Now this can be used as follows:
print(example.Test.TEST1)
print(example.Test.ICONST)
The old way was:
print(example.Test_TEST1)
print(example.Test_ICONST)
4. The special class metatable member ".constructor" was removed. Now SWIG generates the proxy
function by itself and assigns it directly to the class table "__call" method.
5. eLua should also now support inheritance.
6. 'const' subtable in eLua is considered deprecated.
Changes in behaviour:
a. You can no longer assign to non-existing class members in classes without a __setitem__ method.
It will cause a Lua error.
b. You can no longer iterate over a module table and copy everything into the global namespace.
Actually, this was never the case, but it is now explicitly prohibited.
c. Now changing a base class will immediately affect all derived classes.
d. There might be some issues with inheritance. Although the bases iteration scheme is the same
as was used for merging base classes into derived one, some unknown issues may arise.
The old metatable behaviour can be restored by using the -no-old-metatable-bindings option.

[Python] Change in default behaviour wrapping C++ bool. Only a Python True or False
will now work for C++ bool parameters. This fixes overloading bool with other types.
Python 2.3 minimum is now required for wrapping bool.
When wrapping:
const char* overloaded(bool value) { return "bool"; }
const char* overloaded(int value) { return "int"; }
Previous behaviour:
>>> overloaded(False)
'int'
>>> overloaded(True)
'int'
>>> overloaded(0)
'int'
Now we get the expected behaviour:
>>> overloaded(False)
'bool'
>>> overloaded(0)
'int'
The consequence is when wrapping bool in non-overloaded functions:
const char* boolfunction(bool value) { return value ? "true" : "false"; }
The previous behaviour was very Pythonic:
>>> boolfunction("")
'false'
>>> boolfunction("hi")
'true'
>>> boolfunction(12.34)
'true'
>>> boolfunction(0)
'false'
>>> boolfunction(1)
'true'
Now the new behaviour more along the lines of C++ due to stricter type checking. The
above calls result in an exception and need to be explicitly converted into a bool as
follows:
>>> boolfunction(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: in method 'boolfunction', argument 1 of type 'bool'
>>> boolfunction(bool(0))
'false'
The old behaviour can be resurrected by passing the -DSWIG_PYTHON_LEGACY_BOOL command line
parameter when executing SWIG. Typemaps can of course be written to customise the behaviour
for specific parameters.

[Java] Add support for the cdata library.
2014-02-08: vkalinin
Nested class support added. This primarily allows SWIG to properly parse nested
classes and keep the nested class information in the parse tree. Java and C#
have utilised this information wrapping the C++ nested classes as Java/C#
nested classes. The remaining target languages ignore nested classes as in
previous versions. Help is needed by users of these remaining languages to
design how C++ nested classes can be best wrapped. Please talk to us on the
swig-devel mailing list if you think you can help.
Previously, there was limited nested class support. Nested classes were treated
as opaque pointers. However, the "nestedworkaround" feature provided a way to
wrap a nested class as if it was a global class. This feature no longer exists
and is replaced by the new "flatnested" feature. This effectively does the same
thing with less manual code to be written. Please see the 'Nested classes'
section in the documentation in SWIGPlus.html if you were previously using this
feature.
SWIG now parses the contents of nested classes where previously it did not. You
may find that you will need to make adjustments to your interface file as
effectively extra code is being wrapped.

[Python] SF Bug #1297
Resolve several issues related to python imports.
For example, it's now possible to import modules having the same module
names, but belonging in different packages.
From the user's viewpoint, this patch gives a little bit more control on
import statements generated by SWIG. The user may choose to use relative
or absolute imports.
Some details:
- we (still) generate import statements in the form 'import a.b.c' which
corresponds to absolute imports in python3 and (the only available)
ambiguous one in python2.
- added -relativeimport option to use explicit relative import syntax
(python3),
The "Python Packages" section in the documentation discusses how to work
with importing packages including the new -relativeimport command line option.

[Octave] update support to Octave version 3.8.0
- Octave 3.8.0 no longer defines OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER, but 3.8.1
will define OCTAVE_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH}_VERSION instead: see
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b6b6e0dc700e
So we now use a new macro SWIG_OCTAVE_PREREQ(major,minor,patch) to
enable features requiring Octave version major.minor.patch or later.
For Octave versions prior to 3.8.1, we reconstruct values for
OCTAVE_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH}_VERSION based on OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER,
extracted from Octave's ChangeLogs. An additional hack is needed to
distinguish between Octave <= 3.2.x and 3.8.0, neither of which define
OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER.
- Octave 3.8.0 deprecates symbol_table::varref(), so remove its use
for this and future versions of Octave.
- Octave 3.8.0 removes octave_value::is_real_nd_array(), used in
octave_swig_type::dims(). Its use is not required here, so remove it.
- Retested against Octave versions 3.0.5, 3.2.4, 3.4.3, 3.6.4, and 3.8.0.
- Updated Octave documentation with tested Octave versions, and added a
warning against using versions <= 3.x.x, which are no longer tested.

C++11 support for new versions of erase and insert in the STL containers.
The erase and insert methods in the containers use const_iterator instead
of iterator in C++11. There are times when the methods wrapped must match
the parameters exactly. Specifically when full type information for
template types is missing or SWIG fails to look up the type correctly,
for example:
%include <std_vector.i>
typedef float Real;
%template(RealVector) std::vector<Real>;
SWIG does not find std::vector<Real>::iterator because %template using
typedefs does not always work and so SWIG doesn't know if the type is
copyable and so uses SwigValueWrapper<iterator> which does
not support conversion to another type (const_iterator). This resulted
in compilation errors when using the C++11 version of the containers.
Closes #73

[Python] SF Patch #326 from Kris Thielemans - Remove SwigPyObject_print and SwigPyObject_str and
make the generated wrapper use the default python implementations, which will fall back to repr
(for -builtin option).
Advantages:
- it avoids the swig user having to jump through hoops to get print to work as expected when
redefining repr/str slots.
- typing the name of a variable on the python prompt now prints the result of a (possibly redefined)
repr, without the swig user having to do any extra work.
- when redefining repr, the swig user doesn't necessarily have to redefine str as it will call the
redefined repr
- the behaviour is exactly the same as without the -builtin option while requiring no extra work
by the user (aside from adding the %feature("python:slot...) statements of course)
Disadvantage:
- default str() will give different (but clearer?) output on swigged classes

2013-04-15: kwwette
[Octave] Fix bugs in output of cleanup code.
- Cleanup code is now written also after the "fail:" label, so it will be called if
a SWIG_exception is raised by the wrapping function, consistent with other modules.
- Octave module now also recognises the "$cleanup" special variable, if needed.
2013-04-08: kwwette
Add -MP option to SWIG for generating phony targets for all dependencies.
- Prevents make from complaining if header files have been deleted before
the dependency file has been updated.

2013-03-19: wsfulton
[C#, Java, D] Fix seg fault in SWIG using directors when class and virtual method names are
the same except being in different namespaces when the %nspace feature is not being used.
2013-02-19: kwwette
Fix bug in SWIG's handling of qualified (e.g. const) variables of array type. Given the typedef
a(7).q(volatile).double myarray // typedef volatile double[7] myarray;
the type
q(const).myarray // const myarray
becomes
a(7).q(const volatile).double // const volatile double[7]
Previously, SwigType_typedef_resolve() produces the type
q(const).a(7).q(volatile).double // non-sensical type
which would never match %typemap declarations, whose types were parsed correctly.
Add typemap_array_qualifiers.i to the test suite which checks for the correct behaviour.
2013-02-18: wsfulton
Deprecate typedef names used as constructor and destructor names in %extend. The real
class/struct name should be used.
typedef struct tagEStruct {
int ivar;
} EStruct;
%extend tagEStruct {
EStruct() // illegal name, should be tagEStruct()
{
EStruct *s = new EStruct();
s->ivar = ivar0;
return s;
}
~EStruct() // illegal name, should be ~tagEStruct()
{
delete $self;
}
}
For now these trigger a warning:
extend_constructor_destructor.i:107: Warning 522: Use of an illegal constructor name 'EStruct' in
%extend is deprecated, the constructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.
extend_constructor_destructor.i:111: Warning 523: Use of an illegal destructor name 'EStruct' in
%extend is deprecated, the destructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.
These %extend destructor and constructor names were valid up to swig-2.0.4, however swig-2.0.5 ignored
them altogether for C code as reported in SF bug #1306. The old behaviour of using them has been
restored for now, but is officially deprecated. This does not apply to anonymously defined typedef
classes/structs such as:
typedef struct {...} X;
2013-02-17: kwwette
When generating functions provided by %extend, use "(void)" for no-argument functions
instead of "()". This prevents warnings when compiling with "gcc -Wstrict-prototypes".
2013-02-17: kwwette
[Octave] Minor fix to autodoc generation: get the right type for functions returning structs.
2013-02-15: wsfulton
Deprecate typedef names used in %extend that are not the real class/struct name. For example:
typedef struct StructBName {
int myint;
} StructB;
%extend StructB {
void method() {}
}
will now trigger a warning:
swig_extend.i:19: Warning 326: Deprecated %extend name used - the struct name StructBName
should be used instead of the typedef name StructB.
This is only partially working anyway (the %extend only worked if placed after the class
definition).

2012-11-28: kwwette
[Octave] Simplified module loading: now just the syntax
$ example;

2012-11-09: wsfulton
Fix some feature matching issues for implicit destructors and implicit constructors and implicit
copy constructors added with %copyctor. Previously a feature for these had to be fully qualified
in order to match. Now the following will also match:
%feature("xyz") ~XXX();
struct XXX {};
2012-11-09: wsfulton
Further consistency in named output typemap lookups for implicit constructors and destructors and
implicit copy constructors added with %copyctor. Previously only the fully qualified name was being
used, now the unqualified name will also be used. For example, previously:
example.i:38: Searching for a suitable 'out' typemap for: void Space::More::~More
Looking for: void Space::More::~More
Looking for: void
Now the unqualified name is also used:
example.i:38: Searching for a suitable 'out' typemap for: void Space::More::~More
Looking for: void Space::More::~More
Looking for: void ~More
Looking for: void
2012-11-02: wsfulton
Fix some subtle named output typemap lookup misses, the fully qualified name was not always being
used for variables, for example:
struct Glob {
int MyVar;
};
Previously the search rules (as shown by -debug-tmsearch) for the getter wrapper were:
example.i:44: Searching for a suitable 'out' typemap for: int MyVar
Looking for: int MyVar
Looking for: int
Now the scope is named correctly:
example.i:44: Searching for a suitable 'out' typemap for: int Glob::MyVar
Looking for: int Glob::MyVar
Looking for: int MyVar
Looking for: int
2012-10-26: wsfulton
Fix director typemap searching so that a typemap specified with a name will be correctly matched. Previously
the name was ignored during the typemap search. Applies to the following list of typemaps:
directorout, csdirectorout, cstype, imtype, ctype, ddirectorout, dtype, gotype, jtype, jni, javadirectorout.
2012-10-11: wsfulton
Most of the special variables available for use in %exception are now also available for expansion in
%extend blocks. These are: $name $symname $overname $decl $fulldecl $parentclassname $parentclasssymname, see docs
on "Class extension" in SWIGPlus.html. Patch based on submission from Kris Thielemans.
2012-10-10: wsfulton
Additional new special variables in %exception are expanded as follows:
$parentclassname - The parent class name (if any) for a method.
$parentclasssymname - The target language parent class name (if any) for a method.
2012-10-08: iant
[Go] Generating Go code now requires using the -intgosize option to
indicate the size of the 'int' type in Go. This is because the
size of the type is changing from Go 1.0 to Go 1.1 for x86_64.
2012-09-14: wsfulton
Add new warning if the empty template instantiation is used as a base class, for example:
template <typename T> class Base {};
%template() Base<int>;
class Derived : public Base<int> {};

2012-07-02: wsfulton
Fix using declarations combined with using directives with forward class declarations so that
types are correctly found in scope for templates. Example:
namespace Outer2 {
namespace Space2 {
template<typename T> class Thing2;

using namespace Outer2;
using Space2::Thing2;
template<typename T> class Thing2 {};
// STILL BROKEN void useit2(Thing2<int> t) {}

}
%template(Thing2Int) Thing2<int>;
2012-06-30: wsfulton
Fix template namespace problems for symbols declared with a forward class declarations, such as:

return h;
}
};
void testYYY1(Space1::Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
void testYYY2(Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
void testYYY3(::Space1::Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
}
%template(YYYInt) Space1::Space2::YYY<int>;
2012-06-30: wsfulton
Fix namespace problems for symbols declared with a forward class declarations, such as:
namespace Space1 {
namespace Space2 {
struct XXX;
struct YYY;
}
struct Space2::YYY {};
struct Space1::Space2::XXX {};
void testXXX2(Space2::XXX xx) {}
void testYYY2(Space2::YYY yy) {}

where xx and yy were not recognised as the proxy classes XXX and YYY.
2012-06-30: wsfulton
Fix using declarations combined with using directives with forward class declarations so that

class Thing2 {};
// None of the methods below correctly used the Thing2 proxy class
void useit2(Thing2 t) {}
void useit2a(Outer2::Space2::Thing2 t) {}
void useit2b(::Outer2::Space2::Thing2 t) {}
void useit2c(Space2::Thing2 t) {}
namespace Outer2 {
void useit2d(Space2::Thing2 t) {}
}
2012-06-25: wsfulton
Fix using declarations combined with using directives so that types are correctly found in scope.
Example:
namespace Outer2 {
namespace Space2 {
class Thing2 {};

}
using namespace Outer2; // using directive
using Space2::Thing2; // using declaration
void useit2(Thing2 t) {}
Similarly for templated classes.

2012-05-14: kwwette (signed off by xavier98)
[Octave] Prevent Octave from seg-faulting at exit when SWIG
modules are loaded, due to bugs in Octave's cleanup code:
* Wrapping functions now declared with Octave DEFUN_DLD macro,
and loaded through Octave's dynamic module loader
* Global variables of swigref type are now assigned a new()
copy of the swigref class, to prevent double-free errors
* SWIG module at-exit cleanup function now created in Octave
through eval(), so not dependent on loaded .oct library
* For Octave versions 3.1.* to 3.3.*, register C-level at-exit
function which terminates Octave immediately (with correct
status code) without performing memory cleanup. This function
can be controlled with macros in Lib/octave/octruntime.swg
[Octave] New syntax for determing whether SWIG module should be
loaded globally or non-globally. To load module "example" globally,
type the module name
$ example;
as before; to load module non-globally, assign it to a variable:
$ example = example;
or
$ ex = example;
for a shorter (local) module name. -global/-noglobal command-line
options and module command line are deprecated. Added usage info
to module, so typing
$ help example
or incorrect usage should display proper usage, with examples.

2012-05-12: olly
[PHP] Avoid using zend_error_noreturn() as it doesn't work with all
builds of PHP (SF bug #3166423). Instead we now wrap it in a
SWIG_FAIL() function which we annotate as "noreturn" for GCC to
avoids warnings. This also reduces the size of the compiled

Fix #3487706 and #3391906 - missing stddef.h include for ptrdiff_t when using %import
for STL containers and compiling with g++-4.6. An include of stddef.h is now only
generated when SWIG generates STL helper templates which require ptrdiff_t. If you
were previously relying on "#include <stddef.h>" always being generated when using a
%include of an STL header, you may now need to add this in manually.

vi = vector_i(range(10))
print list(vi)
vi[1:4:2] = [111, 333]
print list(vi)
del vi[3:10:3]
print list(vi)
print list(vi[::-1])
gives (same behaviour as native Python sequences such as list):
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[0, 111, 2, 333, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[0, 111, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8]
[8, 7, 5, 4, 2, 111, 0]

[Python] Fix some indexing bugs in Python STL wrappers when the index is negative, eg:
%template(vector_i) std::vector<int>

vv[7:9] = [22,33]
now returns [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 22, 33] instead of "index out range" error.

[C#] Provide an easy way to override the default visibility for the proxy class pointer
constructors and getCPtr() method. The visibility is 'internal' by default and if multiple
SWIG modules are being used and compiled into different assemblies, then they need to be
'public' in order to use the constructor or getCPtr() method from a different assembly.
Use the following macros to change the visibilities in the proxy and type wrapper class:
SWIG_CSBODY_PROXY(public, public, SWIGTYPE)
SWIG_CSBODY_TYPEWRAPPER(public, public, public, SWIGTYPE)
[Java] Provide an easy way to override the default visibility for the proxy class pointer
constructors and getCPtr() method. The visibility is 'protected' by default and if multiple
SWIG modules are being used and compiled into different packages, then they need to be
'public' in order to use the constructor or getCPtr() method from a different package.
Use the following macros to change the visibilities in the proxy and type wrapper class:
SWIG_JAVABODY_PROXY(public, public, SWIGTYPE)
SWIG_JAVABODY_TYPEWRAPPER(public, public, public, SWIGTYPE)
The default for Java has changed from public to protected for the proxy classes. Use the
SWIG_JAVABODY_PROXY macro above to restore to the previous visibilities.

2011-07-26: wsfulton
Fix scoping of forward class declarations nested within a class (for C++). Previously the symbol
was incorrectly put into the outer namespace, eg
namespace std {
template<class Key, class T> struct map {
class iterator;
};
}
iterator was scoped as std::iterator, but now it is correctly std::map<Key, T>::iterator;
Also fixed is %template and template parameters that are a typedef when the template contains
default template parameters, eg:
namespace Std {
template<class Key, class T, class C = int> struct Map {
typedef Key key_type;
typedef T mapped_type;
};
}
typedef double DOUBLE;
%template(MM) Std::Map<int, DOUBLE>;
All symbols within Map will be resolved correctly, eg key_type and mapped_type no matter if the
wrapped code uses Std::Map<int, double> or std::Map<int, DOUBLE> or Std::Map<int, double, int>
Also fixes bug #3378145 - regression introduced in 2.0.4 - %template using traits.

Fix unary scope operator (::) (global scope) regression introduced in 2.0.0, reported by

incorrectly treated as opaque types.
Also fixes #2958781 and some other type problems due to better typedef resolution, eg
std::vector<T *>::value_type didn't resolve to T * when it should have. The mangled type
was incorrectly SWIGTYPE_std__vectorT_Test_p_std__allocatorT_Test_p_t_t__value_type and now
it is correctly SWIGTYPE_p_Test.

Removed support for the old experimental "rxspencer" encoder and
"[not]rxsmatch" in %rename (see the 01/16/2006 entry). The new and
officially supported "regex" encoder and "[not]regexmatch" checks
should be used instead (see the two previous entries). Please
replace "%(rxspencer:[pat][subst])s" with "%(regex:/pat/subst/)s"
when upgrading. Notice that you will also need to replace the back-
references of form "@1" with the more standard "\\1" and may need to
adjust your regular expressions syntax as the new regex encoder uses
Perl-compatible syntax and not (extended) POSIX syntax as the old one.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2010-07-13: vadz
Add "regexmatch", "regextarget" and "notregexmatch" which can be
used to apply %rename directives to the declarations matching the
specified regular expression only. The first two can be used
interchangeably, both of the %renames below do the same thing:
%rename("$ignore", regexmatch$name="Old$") "";
%rename("$ignore", regextarget=1) "Old$";
(namely ignore the declarations having "Old" suffix).
"notregexmatch" restricts the match to only the declarations which
do not match the regular expression, e.g. here is how to rename to
lower case versions all declarations except those consisting from
capital letters only:
%rename("$(lowercase)s", notregexmatch$name="^[A-Z]+$") "";
2010-07-13: vadz
Add the new "regex" encoder that can be used in %rename, e.g.
%rename("regex:/(\\w+)_(.*)/\\2/") "";
to remove any alphabetical prefix from all identifiers. The syntax
of the regular expressions is Perl-like and PCRE library
(http://www.pcre.org/) is used to implement this feature but notice
that backslashes need to be escaped as usual inside C strings.
Original patch from Torsten Landschoff.

void hah(AA aa);
This also fixes C# std::vector containers of shared_ptr and %shared_ptr.
Also added diagnostics for $typemap with -debug-tmsearch, for example, the
above displays additional diagnostic lines starting "Containing: ":

[PHP] When using %throws or %catches, SWIG-generated PHP5 wrappers

This change shouldn't cause incompatibility issues, since you can't

which also happens for unhandled exceptions. The benefit is you can
now catch them if you want to.

2010-04-01: wsfulton
Numerous subtle typemap matching rule fixes when using the default type. The typemap
matching rules are to take a type and find the best default typemap (SWIGTYPE, SWIGTYPE* etc),
then look for the next best match by reducing the chosen default type. The type deduction
now follows C++ class template partial specialization matching rules.
Below are the set of changes made showing the default type deduction
along with the old reduced type and the new version of the reduced type:
SWIGTYPE const &[ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const &[]
old: SWIGTYPE (&)[ANY]
SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const [ANY]
new: SWIGTYPE *const [ANY]
old: SWIGTYPE const *[ANY]
SWIGTYPE const *const &
new: SWIGTYPE *const &
old: SWIGTYPE const *&
SWIGTYPE *const *
new: SWIGTYPE const *
old: SWIGTYPE **
SWIGTYPE *const &
new: SWIGTYPE const &
old: SWIGTYPE *&
Additionally, a const SWIGTYPE lookup is used now for any constant type. Some examples, where
T is some reduced type, eg int, struct Foo:
T const
new: SWIGTYPE const
old: SWIGTYPE
T *const
new: SWIGTYPE *const
old: SWIGTYPE *
T const[]
new: SWIGTYPE const[]
old: SWIGTYPE[]
enum T const
new: enum SWIGTYPE const
old: enum SWIGTYPE
T (*const )[]
new: SWIGTYPE (*const )[]
old: SWIGTYPE (*)[]
Reminder: the typemap matching rules can now be seen for any types being wrapped by using
either the -debug-tmsearch or -debug-tmused options.
In practice this leads to some subtle matching rule changes and the majority of users
won't notice any changes, except in the prime area of motivation for this change: Improve
STL containers of const pointers and passing const pointers by reference. This is fixed
because many of the STL containers use a type 'T const&' as parameters and when T is
a const pointer, for example, 'K const*', then the full type is 'K const*const&'. This
means that the 'SWIGTYPE *const&' typemaps now match when T is either a non-const or
const pointer. Furthermore, some target languages incorrectly had 'SWIGTYPE *&' typemaps
when these should have been 'SWIGTYPE *const&'. These have been corrected (Java, C#, Lua, PHP).

[Java] The intermediary JNI class modifiers are now public by default meaning these
intermediary low level functions are now accessible by default from outside any package

These are needed in order for the nspace option to work without any other mods.

SWIG_JAVABODY_METHODS(protected, protected, SWIGTYPE)
%pragma(java) jniclassclassmodifiers = "class"
2010-03-06: wsfulton
[C#] Added the nspace feature for C#. Documentation for the nspace feature is now available.
2010-03-04: wsfulton
Added the nspace feature. This adds some improved namespace support. Currently only Java
is supported for target languages, where C++ namespaces are automatically translated into
Java packages. The feature only applies to classes,struct,unions and enums declared within
a namespace. Methods and variables declared in namespaces still effectively have their
namespaces flattened. Example usage:
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner1::Color;
%feature(nspace) Outer::Inner2::Color;
namespace Outer {
namespace Inner1 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
namespace Inner2 {
struct Color {
...
};
}
}
For Java, the -package option is also required when using the nspace feature. Say
we use -package com.myco, the two classes can then be accessed as follows from Java:
com.myco.Outer.Inner1.Color and com.myco.Outer.Inner2.Color.

%csconst(1) EN;
struct X {
static const int EN = 2;
};
