Raw Blame History

Version 1.3.32 (in progress)
============================
09/17/2007: olly
[perl5] Use sv_setpvn() to set a scalar from a pointer and length
- patch from SF#174460 by "matsubaray".
09/17/2007: olly
When wrapping C++ code, generate code which uses
std::string::assign(PTR, LEN) rather than assigning
std::string(PTR, LEN). Using assign generates more efficient code
(tested with GCC 4.1.2).
09/07/2007: wsfulton
Fix %ignore on constructors which are not explicitly declared [SF #1777712]
09/05/2007: wuzzeb (John Lenz)
- Change r_ltype in typesys.c to store a hashtable instead of a single value.
several very subtle bugs were being caused by multiple ltypes being mapped
to a single mangled type, mostly when using typedefed template parameters.
Now, r_ltype stores a hashtable of possible ltypes, and when generating the
type table, all the ltypes are added into the swig_type_info structure.
08/31/2007: wsfulton
SF #1754967 from James Bigler.
- Fix bug in turning on warnings that were turned off by default. Eg 'swig -w+309' will now
turn on the normally suppressed warning 309.
- New -Wextra commandline option which enables the extra warning numbers:
202,309,403,512,321,322 (this is the list of warnings that have always been suppressed by
default). By specifying -Wextra, all warnings will be turned on, but unlike -Wall,
warnings can still be selectively turned on/off using %warnfilter,
#pragma SWIG nowarn or further -w commandline options, eg:
swig -Wextra -w309
will turn on all warnings except 309.
08/28/2007: wsfulton
- New debugging options, -debug-module <n> and -debug-top <n> to display the parse tree at
various stages, where <n> is a comma separated list of stages 1-4.For example, to
display top of parse tree at stages 1 and 3:
swig -debug-top 1,3
- Deprecate the following options which have equivalents below:
-dump_parse_module => -debug-module 1
-dump_module => -debug-module 4
-dump_parse_top => -debug-top 1
-dump_top => -debug-top 4
- Renamed some commandline options for naming consistency across all options:
-debug_template => -debug-template
-debug_typemap => -debug-typemap
-dump_classes => -debug-classes
-dump_tags => -debug-tags
-dump_typedef => -debug-typedef
-dump_memory => -debug-memory
08/25/2007: olly
[PHP5] Fix handling of double or float parameters with an integer
default value.
08/25/2007: olly
[PHP5] Generate __isset() methods for setters for PHP 5.1 and later.
08/20/2007: wsfulton
[Java C#] Fix director bug #1776651 reported by Jorgen Tjerno which occurred when
the director class name is the same as the start of some other symbols used within
the director class.
08/17/2007: wsfulton
Correct behaviour for templated methods used with %rename or %ignore and the empty
template declaration - %template(). A warning is issued if the method has not been
renamed.
08/16/2007: mutandiz (Mikel Bancroft)
[allegrocl] Name generated cl file based on input file rather than by
module name. It was possible to end up with a mypackage.cl and a test_wrap.c
when parsing a test.i input file. Confusing. Also, include external-format
templates for :fat and :fat-le automatically to avoid these being compiled
at runtime.
08/15/2007: efuzzyone
[cffi] Apply patch #1766076 from Leigh Smith adding support for newly introduced
in cffi :long-long and :unsigned-long-long.
08/10/2007: wsfulton
[Java] Add documentation patch #1743573 from Jeffrey Sorensen. It contains a neat
idea with respect to better memory management by the JVM of C++ allocated memory.
08/10/2007: wsfulton
[Perl] Apply patch #1771410 from Wade Brainerd to fix typedef XS(SwigPerlWrapper) in
perlrun.swg for ActiveState Perl build 822 and Perl 5.8.9 and 5.10 branches.
08/10/2007: wsfulton
[Lua] const enum reference typemaps fixed.
08/09/2007: wsfulton
[C#] Added missing support for C++ class member pointers.
08/09/2007: wsfulton
[C#, Java] Add support for $owner in the "out" typemaps like in the the scripting
language modules. Note that $owner has always been supported in the "javaout" / "csout"
typemaps.
08/01/2007: wsfulton
Fix smart pointer handling for classes that have templated methods within the smart
pointer type. Problem reported by craigdo at ee.washington.edu.
07/31/2007: efuzzyone
[cffi] fixed memory access after being freed bug. thanks to Martin Percossi.
package name clos changed to cl. thanks to Ralf Mattes
07/24/2007: wsfulton
Parallel make support added for the examples and test-suite for developers who have
more than one CPU. Now parallel make can be used for checking in addition to building
the SWIG executable. Some typical checking examples:
make -j8 -k check
make -j4 check-java-test-suite
make -j2 check-java-examples
07/19/2007: mgossage
Fixed bug that stopped configure working on mingw (applied dos2unix to configure.in)
07/10/2007: mgossage
[lua] Extra compatibility with Lua 5.1 (updated SWIG_init, docs, examples, test suite)
Removed name clash for static link of multiple modules
07/05/2007: mgossage
[lua] Fix a bug in SWIG_ALLOC_ARRAY()
improved the error messages for incorrect arguments.
Changed the output of swig_type() to use the human readable form of the type,
rather than the raw swig type.
07/03/2007: wsfulton
[C#] Fix directors for some overloaded methods where the imtype resulted in identical
methods being generated in the C# director class, eg void foo(int *) and void foo(double *)
used to generated two of these:
private void SwigDirectorfoo(IntPtr p) { ... }
06/25/2007: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Some parameter name changes in std_vector.i allowing better targeting
of typemaps for method parameters (for memory management of containers of pointers).
06/07/2007: mutandiz (Mikel Bancroft)
[allegrocl]
fix foreign-type constructor to properly look for ffitype typemap
bindings. fix inout_typemaps.i for strings.
06/06/2007: olly
[Ruby]
Use whichever of "long" or "long long" is the same size as "void*"
to hold pointers as integers, rather than whichever matches off_t.
Fixes compilation on OS X and GCC warnings on platforms where
sizeof(void*) < sizeof(off_t) (SF patch #1731979).
06/06/2007: olly
[PHP5]
Fix handling of a particular case involving overloaded functions
with default parameters.
06/05/2007: mutandiz (Mikel Bancroft)
[allegrocl]
Fix case where we'd pass fully qualified identifiers
(i.e. NS1::NS2::FOO) to swig-insert-id. All namespaces
should be stripped.
Fix bug in TypedefHandler introduced by last fix.
06/05/2007: olly
Fix reporting of filenames in errors after %include (patch from
Leigh Smith in #1731040; also reported as #1699940).
05/31/2007: olly
[Python]
Fix "missing initialiser" warning when compiling generated C/C++
wrapper code with Python 2.5 with warnings enabled (patch from
bug#1727668 from Luke Moore).
05/29/2007: olly
[Python]
Split docstrings into separate string literals at each newline when
generating C/C++ wrapper code (the C/C++ compiler will just combine
them back into a single string literal). This avoids MSVC
complaining that the strings are too long (problem reported by
Bo Peng on the mailing list).
05/28/2007: olly
[Python]
Escape backslashes in docstrings.
05/26/2007: olly
[Python]
Fix autodoc generation of enums to be more consistent with how the
enums are wrapped - patch #1697226 from Josh Cherry.
05/26/2007: olly
[PHP5]
Fix wrapping of methods and functions which return a pointer to a
class (bug#1700788) and those which have overloaded forms returning
both classes and non-classes (bug#1712717, thanks to Simon
Berthiaume for the patch).
05/25/2007: wsfulton
Fixed %rename inconsistency in conversion operators as reported by Zhong Ren. The matching
is now done on the operator name in the same way as it is done for parameters. For example:
%rename(opABC) Space::ABC::operator ABC() const;
%rename(methodABC) Space::ABC::method(ABC a) const;
namespace Space {
class ABC {
public:
void method(ABC a) const {}
operator ABC() const { ABC a; return a; }
};
}
Note that qualifying the conversion operator previously may or may not have matched.
Now it definitely won't, so this will not match:
%rename(opABC) Space::ABC::operator Space::ABC() const;
in the same way that this does not match:
%rename(methodABC) Space::ABC::method(Space::ABC a) const;
The documentation has been improved with respect to %rename, namespaces and templates.
Conversion operators documentation too.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
05/16/2007: mutandiz
[allegrocl]
Fix bad generation of local var ltype's in functionWrapper().
Try to work better with the backward order in which swig
unrolls nested class definitions.
cleaned up a little unnecessary code/debug printf's.
Remove warning when replacing $ldestructor for ff:foreign-pointer
05/12/2007: olly
[Python]
swig -python -threads now generates C/C++ code which uses Python's
own threading abstraction (from pythread.h) rather than OS specific
code. The old code failed to compile on MS Windows. (See SF patch
tracker #1710341).
05/04/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Changed STL renames to be global renames. This fixes
STL functions not being renamed when autorename is on.
This is a not a totally perfect work-around, but better.
Someone really needs to fix the template renaming code.
(See bug #1545634)
05/04/2007 gga
[All]
Changed %rename("%(undercase)s") a little so that single
numbers at the end of a function are not undercased. That is:
getSomething -> get_something
get2D -> get_2d
get234 -> get_234
BUT:
asFloat2 -> as_float2
(Bug #1699714)
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Made __swigtype__ => @__swigtype__ so it can be accessed
from the scripting language (and follows Ruby's official
documentation, just in case).
Made tracking => @__trackings__ for same reason.
Currently storing ivars without the @ seems valid, but
the PickAxe says this is not correct, so just in case...
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Applied patch for -minherit bug and exception classes.
This issue should be revisited more closely, as Multiple
Inheritance in Ruby is still problematic.
(patch/bug #1604878)
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Overloaded functions in ruby will now report to the user
the possible prototypes when the user mistypes the number or
type of a parameter.
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Forgot to document the bug fixing of an old bug regarding
exceptions.
(bug #1458247)
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Fixed Ruby documentation to use the proper css styles for
each section. Added autodoc section to Ruby's docs to
document the features supported by Ruby in documenting its modules.
Made rdoc documentation spit out the full name of the class +
method name. Albeit this will make the current rdoc not recognize
the method, this is still needed to disambiguate between different
classes with similar methods (rdoc was created to document the
ruby source which only contains one class per c file, unlike swig)
I have patched rdoc to make it more friendly to swig. This
patch needs to be merged in the ruby std library now.
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Changed flag -feature to be -init_name to better reflect its
purpose and avoid confusion with -features.
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Improved autodoc generation.
Added autodoc .swg files to Ruby library for easily adding
documentation to common Ruby methods and STL methods.
Fixed autodoc documenting of getters and setters and module.
Made test suite always generate autodocs.
05/03/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Removed some warnings from STL and test suite.
05/02/2007: mgossage
[Lua] Fixed issues with C++ classes and hierachies across multiple
source files. Fixed imports test case & added run test.
Added Examples/imports.
Added typename for raw lua_State*
Added documentation on native functions.
05/02/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Docstrings are now supported.
%feature("autodoc") and %feature("docstring") are now
properly supported in Ruby. These features will generate
a _wrap.cxx file with rdoc comments in them.
05/02/2007: gga
[Ruby]
STL files have been upgraded to follow the new swig/python
Lib/std conventions.
This means std::vector, std::set, std::map, set::multimap,
std::multiset, std::deque and std::string are now properly
supported, including their iterators, support for containing
ruby objects (swig::GC_VALUE) and several other ruby
enhancements.
std::complex, std::ios, std::iostream, std::iostreambuf and
std::sstream are now also supported.
std::wstring, std::wios, std::wiostream, std::wiostreambuf
and std::wsstream are supported verbatim with no unicode
conversion.
std_vector.i now mimics the behavior of Ruby Arrays much more
closely, supporting slicing, shifting, unshifting,
multiple indexing and proper return values on assignment.
COMPATABILITY NOTE: this changes the older api a little bit in
that improper indexing would previously (incorrectly) raise
exceptions. Now, nil is returned instead, following ruby's
standard Array behavior.
05/02/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Changed the value of SWIG_TYPECHECK_BOOL to be 10000 (ie. higher
than that of all integers).
This is because Ruby allows typecasting
integers down to booleans which can make overloaded functions on
bools and integers to fail.
(bug# 1488142)
05/02/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Fixed a subtle bug in multiple argouts that could get triggered if
the user returned two or more arguments and the first one was an
array.
05/01/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Improved the documentation to document the new features
added, add directorin/out/argout typemaps, etc.
05/01/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Added %initstack and %ignorestack directives for director
functions. These allow you to control whether a director
function should re-init the Ruby stack.
This is sometimes needed for an embedded Ruby where the
director method is used as a C++ callback and not called
by the user from ruby code.
Explanation:
Ruby's GC needs to be aware of the running OS stack in order to
mark any VALUE (Ruby objects) it finds there to avoid collection
of them. This allows the ruby API to be very simple and allows
you to write code like "VALUE a = sth" anywhere without needing
to do things like refcounting like python.
By default, the start of the stack is set when ruby_init() is
called. If ruby is inited within main(), as it usually is the
case with the main ruby executable, ruby will be able to calculate
its stack properly. However, when this is not possible, as when
ruby is embedded as a plugin to an application where main is not
available, ruby_init() will be called in the wrong place, and
ruby will be incorrectly tracking the stack from the function
that called ruby_init() forwards only, which can lead to
all sorts of weird crashes or to ruby thinking it has run out of
stack space incorrectly.
To avoid this, director (callback) functions can now be tagged
to try to reset the ruby stack, which will solve the issues.
NOTE: ruby1.8.6 still contains a bug in it in that its function
to reset the stack will not always do so. This bug is triggered
very rarely, when ruby is called from two very distinct places
in memory, like a branch of main() and another dso. This bug
has now been reported to ruby-core and is pending further
investigation.
(bug #1700535 and patch #1702907)
04/30/2007: wsfulton
Fix #1707582 - Restore building from read-only source directories.
04/30/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Ruby will now report the parameter index properly on type
errors as well as the class and value of the incorrect
argument passed.
(feature request #1699670)
04/30/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Ruby no longer creates the free_Class function if the class
contains its own user defined free function (%freefunc).
(bug #1702882)
04/30/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Made directors raise a ruby exception for incorrect argout
returned values if RUBY_EMBEDDED is set, instead of throwing
an actual SwigDirector exception.
This will prevent crashes when ruby is embedded and unaware
of the SwigDirector exception.
04/30/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Removed the need for -DSWIGEXTERN.
Changed swig_ruby_trackings to be a static variable, but also
be kept within a hidden instance variable in the SWIG module.
This allows properly dealing with trackings across multiple
DSOs, which was previously broken.
(bug #1700535 and improvement to patch #1702907)
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby] Fixed GC memory issues with trackings that could lead
to segfaults when dealing, mainly, with static variables.
(bug #1700535 and patch #1702907)
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Fixed String conversion using old ruby1.6 macros. Now
StringValuePtr() is used if available. This removes warnings
when converting strings with \0 in them.
(bug #1700535 and patch #1702907)
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Fixed the argout count in directors for Ruby. Previously,
ignored or "numinputs=0" typemaps would incorrectly not get
counted towards the argout count.
(bug/patch #1545585)
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Upgraded Ruby converter to recognize "numinputs=0". Previously,
only the old "ignore" flag was checked (which would currently
still work properly, but is deprecated).
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby - but should be made generic]
%feature("numoutputs","0") added.
This feature allows you to ignore the output of a function so
that it is not added to a list of output values
( ie. argouts ).
This should also become a feature of %typemap(directorout)
as "numoutputs"=0, just like "numinputs"=0 exists.
%feature("directors"=1)
%include <typemaps.i>
%feature("numoutputs","0") { Class::member_function1 };
%typemap(out) MStatus { // some code, like check mstatus
// and raise exception if wrong };
%inline %{
typedef int MStatus;
class Class {
// one argument returned, but director out code added
// MStatus is discarded as a return (out) parameter.
virtual MStatus member_function1( int& OUTPUT );
// two arguments returned, director out code added
// MStatus is not discarded
virtual MStatus member_function2( int& OUTPUT );
};
%}
04/21/2007: olly
Fix parsing of float constants with an exponent (e.g. 1e-02f)
(bug #1699646).
04/20/2007: olly
[Python] Fix lack of generation of docstrings when -O is used.
Also, fix generation of docstrings containing a double quote
character. Patch from Richard Boulton in bug#1700146.
04/17/2007: wsfulton
[Java, C#] Support for adding in Java/C# code before and after the intermediary call,
specifically related to the marshalling of the proxy type to the intermediary type.
The javain/csin typemap now supports the 'pre' and 'post' attributes to achieve this.
The javain typemap also supports an optional 'pgcppname' attribute for premature garbage
collection prevention parameter naming and the csin typemap supports an optional 'cshin'
attribute for the parameter type used in a constructor helper generated when the type is used
in a constructor. Details in the Java.html and CSharp.html documentation.
04/16/2007: olly
Don't treat `restrict' as a reserved identifier in C++ mode
(bug#1685534).
04/16/2007: olly
[PHP5] Fix how zend_throw_exception() is called (bug #1700785).
04/10/2007: olly
Define SWIGTEMPLATEDISAMBIGUATOR to template for aCC (reported on
swig-user that this is needed).
04/04/2007: olly
[PHP5] If ZTS is enabled, release <module>_globals_id in MSHUTDOWN
to avoid PHP interpreter crash on shutdown. This solution was
suggested here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40985
04/03/2007: olly
[PHP4] Add missing ZTS annotations to generated C++ wrapper code
to fix compilation failures when using ZTS enabled SWIG (Linux
distributions tend to disable ZTS, but notably the Windows build
uses it by default).
04/01/2007: efuzzyone
[CFFI] Patch #1684261: fixes handling of unsigned int literals, thanks Leigh Smith.
Also, improved documentation.
03/30/2007: olly
Avoid generating '<:' token when using SwigValueWrapper<> on a type
which starts with '::' (patch #1690948).
03/25/2007: wuzzeb (John Lenz)
[perl5] Add SWIG_fail to the SWIG_exception macro. Fixes a few problems reported
on the mailing list.
03/23/2007: wsfulton
String copying patch from Josh Cherry reducing memory consumption by about 25%.
03/21/2007: wsfulton
[Java] Apply patch #1631987 from Ulrik Peterson - bool INOUT typemaps
fail on big endian machines.
03/16/2007: wsfulton
Fix seg fault given dodgy C++ code: namespace abc::def { }
03/16/2007: wsfulton
[Java] Fixes so that ARRAYSOFCLASSES and ARRAYSOFENUMS in arrays_java.i can be applied
to pointer types.
03/03/2007: olly
[PHP5] When we know the literal numeric value for a constant, use
that to initialise the const member in the PHP wrapper class.
03/02/2007: olly
[PHP5] Fix PHP wrapper code generated for certain cases of
overloaded forms with default arguments.
02/26/2007: efuzzyone
[CFFI] Patch #1656395: fixed hex and octal values bug, thanks to Arthur Smyles.
02/22/2007: mgossage
[Lua] Fixed bug in typemaps which caused derived_byvalue and rname test cases to fail.
Updated derived_byvalue.i to explain how to find and fix the problem
01/25/2007: wsfulton
Fix #1538522 and #1338527, forward templated class declarations without a
name for the templated class parameters, such as:
template <typename, class> class X;
01/23/2007: mgossage
[Lua] Patch #1640862: <malloc.h> replaced by <stdlib.h>
Patch #1598063 Typo in typemaps.i
01/22/2007: mgossage
[Lua] Added a lua specific carrays.i which adds the operator[] support.
modified the main code to make it not emit all the class member functions & accessors
Note: C structs are created using new_XXX() while C++ classes use XXX() (should be standardised)
Updated test case: li_carrays
Updated the documentation.
01/12/2007: wsfulton
[Php] Add support for newfree typemaps (sometimes used by %newobject)
01/12/2007: beazley
New command line option -macroerrors. When supplied, this will force
the C scanner/parser to report proper location information for code contained
inside SWIG macros (defined with %define). By default, SWIG merely reports
errors on the line at which a macro is used. With this option, you
can expand the error back to its source---something which may simplify
debugging.
01/12/2007: beazley
[Internals] Major overhaul of C/C++ scanning implementation. For quite
some time, SWIG contained two completely independent C/C++ tokenizers--
the legacy scanner in CParse/cscanner.c and a general purpose scanner
in Swig/scanner.c. SWIG still has two scanning modules, but the C parser
scanner (CParse/cscanner.c) now relies upon the general purpose
scanner found in Swig/scanner.c. As a result, it is much smaller and
less complicated. This change also makes it possible to maintain all
of the low-level C tokenizing in one central location instead of two
places as before.
***POTENTIAL FLAKINESS***
This change may cause problems with accurate line number reporting
as well as error reporting more generally. I have tried to resolve this
as much as possible, but there might be some corner cases.
01/12/2007: mgossage
[Lua] Added typemap throws for std::string*, typemap for SWIGTYPE DYNAMIC,
changed the existing throws typemap to throw a string instead of making a copy of
the object (updating a few test cases to deal with the change).
fixed test case: dynamic_casts, exception_partial_info, li_std_string, size_t
01/03/2007: beazley
[Internals]. Use of swigkeys.c/.h variables is revoked. Please use
simple strings for attribute names.
12/30/2006: beazley
Internal API functions HashGetAttr() and HashCheckAttr() have been revoked.
Please use Getattr() to retrieve attributes. The function Checkattr() can
be used to check attributes. Note: These functions have been revoked
because they only added a marginal performance improvement at the expense
code clarity.
12/26/2006: mgossage
[Lua] Added more STL (more exceptions, map, size_t),
fixed test case: conversion_ns_template.
12/21/2006: mgossage
[Lua] Update to throw errors when setting immutables,
and allowing user addition of module variables.
12/20/2006: wsfulton
Fix typedef'd variable wrappers that use %naturalvar, eg, std::string.
12/14/2006: wsfulton
[C#] Add std::wstring and wchar_t typemaps
12/14/2006: olly
[php] Fix bug #1613673 (bad PHP5 code generated for getters and
setters).
12/02/2006: wsfulton, John Lenz, Dave Beazley
Move from cvs to Subversion for source control
11/30/2006: beazley
Cleaned up swigwarnings.swg file not to use nested macro
