SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)
-:::: NOTE :::: The CVS head works towards release 1.4; it is currently
- unstable. The CVS branch "mkoeppe-1-3-a5-patches"
- starting from release 1.3a5 works towards the next
- stable release (1.3.6).
-
-Work in progress
-================
-
-06/14/2001: mkoeppe
- Use %%except instead of %except in some format
- strings. Reported by Ovidiu Toader, SF Bug #231923.
-
-02/03/01: beazley
- Fixed some bugs related to typedef and typemaps. The following
- declarations are now legal:
-
- typedef type (f)(parms);
-
- %typemap(method) type (*f)(parms) {
- ...
- }
-
-01/16/01: ttn
- Integrated XML output code contributed by Klaus Wiederaenders.
- This includes new directories Examples/xml and Lib/xml, and
- new files Source/Modules1.1/xml.*. Usage: swig -xml OUT foo.i
- which writes the foo.i parse tree to xml file OUT.
-
-01/16/01: ttn
- Wrote table of contents for Doc/engineering.html. Added section
- on CVS tagging conventions. Added copyright to other docs.
-
-12/23/00: beazley
- C++ wrappers now always include default constructors and destructors.
- Most people want these anyways. In addition, this solves some
- problems related to virtual destructors and derived classes
- originally reported by Roy LeCates. Note: constructor wrappers
- are never generated for abstract classes.
- *** NEW FEATURE ***
-
-12/23/00: beazley
- Changes to class wrappers. When SWIG sees two classes like this,
-
- class X {
- public:
- void foo();
- ...
- }
-
- class Y : public X {
- public:
- void bar();
- ...
- }
-
- it now generates two wrapper functions:
-
- X_foo(X *x) { x->foo(); }
- Y_bar(Y *y) { y->bar(); }
-
- Unlike SWIG1.15, the foo() method does *not* result in a wrapper
- function Y_foo(). Instead, the base class method X_foo() must be
- used.
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-12/23/00: beazley
- Typemaps can now be placed inside class definitions. For example:
-
- class Foo {
- public:
- %typemap(in) double {
- // Whatever
- ...
- }
- ...
- };
-
- When used in this manner, the typemap is applied to all class
- members that follow. In addition, the typemap is inherited
- and will be applied in any derived classes. On the other
- hand, class typemaps are *not* applied to any declarations
- appearing outside of the class (i.e., the scope of the typemap
- is the class and any derived classes).
- *** NEW FEATURE ***
-
-12/21/00: beazley
- The %readonly directive is now defined as a scope. For example:
-
- %readonly {
- int foo;
- int bar;
- }
-
- *** INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-12/21/00: beazley
- The %native directive is now a scope. It works as follows:
-
- %native {
- /* List functions with native prototypes */
- PyObject *blah(PyObject *args, PyObject *self);
- %name(foo) PyObject *wrap_foo(PyObject *args, PyObject *self);
- ...
- }
-
- See note from 9/30/00 below. In addition, native function wrapping
- has been enhanced in the Python/Tcl modules. For example, the
- Python module can automatically distinguish between keyword and
- non-keyword wrappers. Similarly, the Tcl module can distinguish
- between Tcl7 and Tcl8 style wrappers.
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-12/15/00: beazley
- SWIG now builds a complete parse tree before generating any wrapper
- code. Wrappers now appear in the same order as they appear
- in the interface file. In SWIG1.1, wrapping of classes was
- deferred until everything else had been handled.
-
-12/15/00: beazley
- New %scope directive defines a SWIG scope. Basically, a scope
- is a way of enclosing a collection of declarations that might
- share a common property. For example:
-
- %scope("native") {
- /* Native wrappers */
- PyObject *blah(PyObject *args, PyObject *self);
- ...
- }
-
- or
-
- %scope("readonly") {
- /* Readonly variables */
- int x;
- ...
- }
-
- An unnamed scope can also be used:
-
- %scope {
- ... declarations ...
- }
-
- In addition to collecting objects, typemaps and other customization
- features defined within a scope only get applied to those objects.
- That is, a typemap defined in a scope will disappear at the end of
- the scope.
- *** NEW FEATURE ***
-
-10/14/00: beazley
- Fixed some problems in output file handling and shadow classes.
- Problem reported by Luigi Ballabio.
-
-10/14/00: beazley
- Incorporated new set of patches for Macintosh support. Contributed
- by Luigi Ballabio.
-
-9/30/00 : beazley
- %except and %typemap directives no longer take a language specifier.
- For example:
-
- %typemap(python,in) type { ... }
-
- should be changed to
-
- %typemap(in) type { ... }
-
- If it is ever necessary to include typemaps for multiple languages,
- use conditional compilation instead:
-
- #ifdef SWIGPYTHON
- %typemap(in) type { ... }
- #endif
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-9/30/00 : beazley
- %native directive no longer applies to a single entry, but rather
- defines a new scope. For example:
-
- %native {
- ... bunch of native declarations ...
- }
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-9/30/00 : beazley
- Most SWIG directives are now defined in terms of pragmas and
- preprocessor macros. For example:
-
- %readonly
-
- is now really parsed as
-
- %pragma "readonly";
-
- This scheme has been included to make the SWIG parser smaller
- and more configurable.
-
-9/29/00 : beazley
- %pragma directive syntax changed to the following:
-
- %pragma(lang) name value;
-
- (The "=" is gone and it must be terminated by a semicolon).
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
-
-9/29/00 : beazley
- All of the old code inclusion directives %init %{ ... %}, %wrapper %{ ... %},
- %runtime %{ ... %} and so forth have been consolidated into a single SWIG
- directive:
-
- %insert("section") %{ code %}
-
- or
-
- %insert("section") "filename"
-
- Motivation: this design is simpler (the parser is smaller) and it is
- extensible--language modules can define their own code sections for
- shadow classes or whatever.
-
- The old SWIG directives such as %wrapper %{ ... %} are now really
- defined as preprocessor macros. For example:
-
- #define %wrapper %insert("wrapper")
-
-9/25/00 : beazley
- Modified the preprocessor so that macro names can start with a '%'.
- This may allow new SWIG "directives" to be defined as macros instead
- of having to be hard-coded into the parser. More details later.
- *** EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE ***
-
-:::: NOTE :::: All CHANGES entries newer than the 1.3a5 release refer to the new
-core, new parser, and redesigned module system.

-Version 1.3 Alpha 5 (September 22, 2000)
-========================================
+The Stable Development Branch
+=============================
+
+In this CVS branch "mkoeppe-1-3-a5-patches", fixes in the SWIG core
+and improvements to the language modules take place, starting from the
+relatively stable release 1.3a5. It works towards the new stable
+release 1.3.6.
+
+This branch is also the basis for the "swig1.3" Debian package
+(currently unofficial, available from
+http://www.math.uni-magdeburg.de/~mkoeppe/imo-debian).
+
+Eventually this branch will be merged with the development on the
+trunk of the CVS tree.
+
+Version 1.3.6 (July 9, 2001)
+=============================
+
+7/09/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ * GIFPlot examples: FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND definition missing
+ after TRANSPARENT #define fix in GIFPlot
+
+7/03/2001: beazley
+ Fixed up the version numbers so that the release is known
+ as 1.3.6. All future releases should have a similar
+ version format.
+
+7/02/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Python]: Prevent the problem of self.thisown not being
+ defined if the C++ class constructor raised an exception.
+ Thanks to Luigi Ballabio <ballabio@mac.com>.
+
+6/29/2001: mkoeppe
+ * More portability fixes; fixed "gcc -Wall" warnings.
+
+6/29/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ * GIFPlot examples: TRANSPARENT #define multiple times on Solaris
+ (clashes with stream.h).
+ * Multiple definition bug fix for shadow classes. The perl and python
+ modules had workarounds which have been replaced with fixes in
+ the core. Many of the Language::cpp_xxxx functions now set a
+ flag which the derived classes can access through
+ is_multiple_definition() to see whether or not code should be
+ generated. The code below would have produced varying degrees
+ of incorrect shadow class code for the various modules:
+ class TestClass
+ {
+ public:
+ TestClass() {};
+ TestClass(int a) {};
+ ~TestClass() {};
+ unsigned long xyz(short k) {};
+ unsigned long xyz(int n) {};
+ static void static_func() {};
+ static void static_func(int a) {};
+ };
+ void delete_TestClass(int a);
+
+6/27/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Perl] Another const-related portability fix.
+
+6/26/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ * [Java] Added in cpp_pragma() support with a host of new pragmas - see
+ jswig.html. These are designed for better mixing of Java and c++. It
+ enables the user to specify pure Java classes as bases and/or interfaces
+ for the wrapped c/c++.
+ * [Java] Old pragmas renamed. Warning given for the moment if used.
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY FOR JAVA MODULE ***
+
+6/25/2001: mkoeppe
+ * Incorporated more build changes contributed by Wyss Clemens
+ <WYS@helbling.ch> for swig/ruby on cygwin.
+
+6/20/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ * Makefile mods so that 'make check' uses the swig options in the makefiles
+ * [Java] Removed Generating wrappers message
+ * [Java] NULL pointer bug fix
+ * [Java] Bug fix for Kaffe JVM
+
+6/20/2001: mkoeppe
+ * SWIG_TypeQuery from common.swg now returns a
+ swig_type_info* rather than a void*. This fixes a problem
+ when using pointer.i and C++, as illustrated by the new
+ test-suite example perl5/pointer-cxx.
+ * Portability fixes (const char *).
+ * Incorporated build changes contributed by Wyss Clemens
+ <WYS@helbling.ch>, which make swig runnable on cygwin.
+
+6/19/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ * [Java] Bug fix for SF bug #211144. This fix is a workaround
+ until fixed in the core.
+
+6/19/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Guile]: Portability fixes for use with the Sun Forte
+ compilers.
+ * [Tcl]: Portability fix (const char *).
+ * [Tcl]: Configure now first tries to find a tclConfig.sh
+ file in order to find the Tcl include directory, library
+ location and library name.
+ * [Python]: Added a few possible library locations.
+
+6/18/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Guile]: Don't call scm_c_export if nothing is to be
+ exported. Don't warn on %module if module has been set
+ already (this frequently occurs when %import is used).
+
+6/16/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Guile]: New "passive" linkage, which is appropriate for
+ multi-module extensions without Guile module magic.
+
+6/15/2001: mkoeppe
+ * [Guile]: Fixed printing of smobs (space and angle were
+ missing).
+ * Properly generate type information for base classes
+ imported with the %import directive. Thanks to Marcelo
+ Matus <mmatus@acms.arizona.edu> for the report and the
+ patch; this closes SF bug #231619; see also
+ Examples/guile/test-suite/import*.
+ * [Guile]: Fix casting between class and base class; the
+ runtime type system had it the wrong way around; see
+ Examples/guile/test-suite/casts.i
+ * Make typemaps for SWIGPOINTER * with arg name take
+ precedence over those without arg name, to match normal
+ typemap precedence rules.
+ * Fixed the random-line-numbers problem reported as SF bug
+ #217310; thanks to Michael Scharf <scharf@users.sf.net>.
+ * [Guile]: Handle the %name and %rename directives.
+ * New syntax: %name and %rename now optionally take double
+ quotes around the scripting name. This is to allow scripting
+ names that aren't valid C identifiers.
+
+6/14/2001: beazley
+ Made a minor change to the way files are loaded in
+ order to get file/line number reporting correct in
+ the preprocessor.
+
+6/14/2001: mkoeppe
+ * The parser now understands the (non-standard) "long long"
+ types. It is up to the individual language modules to
+ provide typemaps if needed. Reported by Sam Steingold, SF
+ bug #429176.
+ * The parser now understands arguments like "const int *
+ const i". This fixes SF bug #215649.
+ * Fixed the Guile test-suite.
+
+6/13/2001: mkoeppe
+ Partial merge from the CVS trunk at tag
+ "mkoeppe-merge-1". This covers the following changes:
+
+| 01/16/01: ttn
+| Wrote table of contents for Doc/engineering.html. Added section
+| on CVS tagging conventions. Added copyright to other docs.
+| 9/25/00 : beazley
+| Modified the preprocessor so that macro names can start with a '%'.
+| This may allow new SWIG "directives" to be defined as macros instead
+| of having to be hard-coded into the parser.
+|
+| *** Also a yet-to-be-documented quoting mechanism with backquotes
+| *** has been implemented?
+
+6/13/2001: mkoeppe
+ * When configure does not find a language, don't use default
+ paths like /usr/local/include; this only causes build
+ problems.
+ * New directory: Examples/Guile/test-suite, where a few
+ bugs in 1.3a5 are demonstrated.
+ * Handle C++ methods that have both a "const" and a "throw"
+ directive (see Examples/Guile/test-suite/cplusplus-throw.i);
+ thanks to Scott B. Drummonds for the report and the fix.
+ * Handle C++ pointer-reference arguments (like "int *& arg")
+ (see Examples/Guile/test-suite/pointer-reference.i,
+ reported as SF bug #432224).
+ * [Ruby] Fixed typo in rubydec.swg; thanks to Lyle Johnson!
+ * Don't stop testing when one test fails.
+ * [Guile, MzScheme] Don't print "Generating wrappers...".
+
+6/12/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] VECTORLENINPUT and LISTLENINPUT now have separate
+ list length variables. TYPEMAP_POINTER_INPUT_OUTPUT
+ attaches argument documentation involving SCM_TYPE to the
+ standard pointer typemaps. INOUT is now an alias for BOTH.
+
+6/12/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ Some Java documentation added.
+ [Java] Fixed bugs in import pragma and shadow pragma.
+
+6/12/2001: mkoeppe
+ Fix declarations of SWIG_define_class
+ (Lib/ruby/rubydec.swg) and SWIG_TypeQuery
+ (Lib/common.swg). Thanks to Lyle Johnson
+ <ljohnson@resgen.com> for the patches.
+
+6/11/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Use long instead of scm_bits_t; this makes the
+ generated wrapper code compatible with Guile 1.3.4
+ again. Thanks to Masaki Fukushima for pointing this out.
+
+6/11/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ The generic INSTALL file from autoconf added. Few changes to README file.
+
+6/11/2001: mkoeppe
+ Fixed typo in Makefile.in; thanks to Greg Troxel
+ <gdt@ir.bbn.com>.
+
+6/08/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ make check works again. Examples/GIFPlot configure generated by
+ top level autoconf now.
+
+6/08/2001: mkoeppe
+ Another build change: The new script autogen.sh runs
+ autoconf in the appropriate directories. The top-level
+ configure also configures in Examples/GIFPlot.
+
+6/07/2001: mkoeppe
+ Made the Makefile work with non-GNU make again.
+
+6/07/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] Class/struct members that are arrays of pointers to classes/structs -
+ Shadow class's get/set accessors now use Java classes instead of longs (pointers).
+ [Java] Shadow classes will now clean up memory if function return type
+ is a class/struct.
+ [Java] New example called reference based on the same example from other modules.
+
+6/06/2001: mkoeppe
+ New configure option --with-release-suffix allows for
+ attaching a suffix to the swig binary and the swig runtime
+ libraries. Minor changes to the build system. "swig
+ -swiglib" works again. If invoked with the new option
+ "-ldflags", SWIG prints a line of linker flags needed to
+ link with the runtime library of the selected language
+ module.
+
+6/06/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] gswig_list_p is an int, not a SCM. This typo
+ caused warnings when compiling with a Guile configured with
+ strict C type checking. In INPUT and BOTH typemaps
+ generated by the SIMPLE_MAP macro, use the SCM_TO_C
+ function to convert from Guile to C (rather than C_TO_SCM).
+ Use scm_intprint to print pointers (rather than
+ sprintf). Allow using "-linkage" instead of "-Linkage".
+
+6/05/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] Mods for using inherited c++ classes from Java
+ [Java] New example called class based on the same example from other modules
+
+6/05/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] destructor (_delete()) was not aware of %name renaming
+ [Java] extends baseclass did not know about %name renaming
+ [Java] extends baseclass did extend even when the baseclass was not known to swig
+ [Java] sometimes enum-declarations occured before the Java class declaration
+ [Java] unrelated enum initialisations no longer appear in Java class
+ [Java] if module ends in '_' correct JNI names are now produced
+
+6/04/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] Shadow class mods - Modified constructor replaces
+ newInstance(). _delete() now thread safe. getCPtr() replaces
+ _self. _selfClass() removed as now redundant.
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY FOR JAVA MODULE ***
+
+ [Java] Not all output java files had SWIG banner. New banner.
+
+ [Java] Shadow class finalizers are output by default: Command
+ line option -finalize deprecated and replaced with -nofinalize.
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY FOR JAVA MODULE ***
+
+6/ 1/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Cast SCM_CAR() to scm_bits_t before shifting it.
+ This is required for compiling with a Guile configured with
+ strict C type checking.
+
+6/ 1/2001: mkoeppe
+ Added configure option "--with-swiglibdir".
+
+5/31/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Support multiple parallel lists or vectors in
+ the typemaps provided by list-vector.i. New typemaps file,
+ pointer-in-out.i.
+
+5/25/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] HTML update for examples.
+
+5/28/2001: mkoeppe
+ Minor changes to the build system. Added subdirectory for
+ Debian package control files.
+
+5/28/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Build a runtime library, libswigguile.
+
+5/28/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] New typemap substitution $*descriptor. Use the {}
+ syntax, rather than the "" syntax for the standard
+ typemaps, in order to work around strange macro-expansion
+ behavior of the SWIG preprocessor. This introduces some
+ extra braces.
+
+5/27/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Handle pointer types with typemaps, rather than
+ hard-coded. New typemap substitutions $descriptor,
+ $basedescriptor; see documentation. Some clean-up in the
+ variable/constants wrapper generator code. New convenience
+ macro SWIG_Guile_MustGetPtr, which allows getting pointers
+ from smobs in a functional style. New typemap file
+ "list-vector.i", providing macros that define typemaps for
+ converting between C arrays and Scheme lists and vectors.
+
+5/25/2001: cheetah (william fulton)
+ [Java] STL string moved into its own typemap as it is c++ code and
+ it break any c code using the typemaps.i file.
+ - Fixes for wrappers around global variables - applies to primitive
+ types and user types (class/struct) and pointers to these.
+ - Structure member variables and class public member variables getters
+ and setters pass a pointer to the member as was in 1.3a3 and 1.1
+ (1.3a5 was passing by value)
+ - Parameters that were arrays and return types were incorrectly
+ being passed to create_function() as pointers.
+ - Fix for arrays of enums.
+ [Java] Updated java examples and added two more.
+ [Java] Java module updated from SWIG1.3a3 including code cleanup etc.
+ [Java] enum support added.
+ [Java] Array support implemented
+ [Java] Shadow classes improved - Java objects used rather than
+ longs holding the c pointer to the wrapped structure/c++class
+
+5/22/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Fixed extern "C" declarations in C++ mode. Thanks
+ to Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>.
+
+5/21/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] New linkage "module" for creating Guile modules for
+ Guile versions >= 1.5.0.
+
+4/18/2001: mkoeppe
+ [MzScheme] Added typemaps for passing through Scheme_Object
+ pointers.
+
+4/9/2001 : mkoeppe
+ [MzScheme] Added typemaps for `bool'. Inclusion of headers
+ and support routines is now data-driven via mzscheme.i.
+ Headers come from the new file mzschemdec.swg. Don't abort
+ immediately when a type-handling error is reported. When
+ searching for typemaps for enums, fall back to using int,
+ like the Guile backend does. Support char constants. Emit
+ correct wrapper code for variables.
+
+3/12/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Fixed typemaps for char **OUTPUT, char **BOTH.
+
+3/2/2001 : mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Every wrapper function now gets a boolean variable
+ gswig_list_p which indicates whether multiple values are
+ present. The macros GUILE_APPEND_RESULT, GUILE_MAYBE_VALUES
+ and GUILE_MAYBE_VECTOR use this variable, rather than
+ checking whether the current return value is a list. This
+ allows for typemaps returning a list as a single value (a
+ list was erroneously converted into a vector or a
+ multiple-value object in this case).
+
+3/1/2001 : mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Added support for returning multiple values as
+ vectors, or passing them to a muliple-value
+ continuation. By default, multiple values still get
+ returned as a list.
+
+3/1/2001 : mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Added a "beforereturn" pragma. The value of this
+ pragma is inserted just before every return statement.
+
+3/1/2001 : mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Added support for Guile 1.4.1 procedure
+ documentation formats, see internals.html.
+
+2/26/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Made the wrapper code compile with C++ if the
+ "-c++" command-line switch is given. Thanks to
+ <monkeyiq@dingoblue.net.au>.
+
+2/26/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Now two type tables, swig_types and
+ swig_types_initial, are used, as all other SWIG language
+ modules do. This removes the need for the tricky
+ construction used before that the broken Redhat 7.0 gcc
+ doesn't parse. Reported by <monkeyiq@dingoblue.net.au>.
+
+2/26/2001: mkoeppe
+ [Guile] Fixed typemaps for char *OUTPUT, char *BOTH; a bad
+ free() would be emitted. Added typemap for SCM.
