[Python] 2494 Fix integer overflow / undefined behavior for python
castmode on sizeof(long)==8 platforms for implicit conversions around
edge cases of LONG_MAX and ULONG_MAX, for example:
void as_l(long x); // C interface
Usage from Python:
lmaxd = math.nextafter(float(2**63), 0.0) LONG_MAX == 2**63-1
Now below correctly raises a TypeError due to the overflow
as_l(math.nextafter(lmaxd, float('inf')))

[Python] 1613 1687 1727 2190 2727 2428 Add support for the Python stable
ABI using default Python options. Code is generated that compiles when

Note that the -builtin, -fast (used by -O) options are not supported.

[Python] More efficient input string marshalling for Python 3.
Previously a copy of a string was made while converting from a Python 3
string to a char * or std::string. This copy is no longer needed making
string marshalling more efficient. Does not apply to the stable ABI
targetting Python < 3.10 where a copy is still required where the stable
ABI does not provide PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize.
2023-12-20: wsfulton
2190 Replace SWIG_Python_str_AsChar with SWIG_PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize.
SWIG_Python_str_AsChar has undefined behaviour when Py_LIMITED_API is defined
as it returns a pointer to a string in a PyBytes object that no longer exists.
SWIG_PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize is an efficient replacement, but requires a
different API and the caller to decrement the refcount on the intermediate
PyObject in the Py_LIMITED_API < 0x030A0000 implementation. The alternative
would have required copying the returned char * string as was done in a
previous implementation requiring a call to the defunct SWIG_Python_str_DelForPy3
function.

[C] Replace empty() method with IsEmpty property for std::vector, std::list, std::map

vectors as follows:
%extend std::vector {
%csmethodmodifiers empty() const "public"

2591 SWIG now supports command line options -std=cXX and
-std=c++XX to specify the C/C++ standards version. The only effect
of these options is to set appropriate values for __STDC_VERSION__

2307 std::vector::capacity and std::vector::reserve signature changes.
Java api changes from:
public long capacity() { ... }
public void reserve(long n) { ... }
to:
public int capacity() { ... }
public void reserve(int n) { ... }
to fit in with the usual Java convention of using int for container
indexing and sizing.
The original api for std::vector::reserve can be also be made available via
%extend to add in an overloaded method as follows:
%include <std_vector.i>
%extend std::vector {
void reserve(jlong n) throw (std::length_error, std::out_of_range) {
if (n < 0)
throw std::out_of_range("vector reserve size must be positive");
self->reserve(n);
}
}
This change is partially driven by the need to seamlessly support the full
64-bit range for size_t generically, apart from the customisations for the
STL containers, by using:
%apply unsigned long long { size_t };
%apply const unsigned long long & { const size_t & };

1416 Implicit assignment operator detection fixes.
A class that does not have an explicit assignment operator does not
have an implicit assignment operator if a member variable is not

wrapping a variable that is not assignable, a variable setter is not
generated in order to avoid a compiler error.
Template instantiation via %template is required in order for this to

2591 Add new -U command line option to undefine a preprocessor
symbol.

1589 2335 Support parsing arbitrary expression in decltype.
Use parser error recovery to skip to the closing matching `)` and
issue a warning that we can't deduce the decltype for the
expression (like we already do for any expression which isn't a
simple variable or similar).

[Javascript] 2561 Support check typemaps for Javascript.
2023-05-12: olly
[Java] 2556 Suppress Java removal warnings on finalize method.
SWIG will need to stop relying on finalize methods, but we know
that and meanwhile these warnings make the testsuite output very
noisy.

302 2079 2474 Parse storage class more flexibly.
Previously we had a hard-coded list of allowed combinations in the
grammar, but this suffers from combinatorial explosion, and results
in a vague `Syntax error in input` error for invalid (and missing)
combinations.
This means we now support a number of cases which are valid C++ but
weren't supported, including `friend constexpr` and `virtual
explicit`.
2023-05-08: olly
1567 Add support for std::string_view (new in C++17) for C, Java,
Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl.
2023-05-08: olly
[PHP] 2544 Wrap overloaded method with both static and non-static
forms. We now wrap this as a non-static method in PHP, which means
the static form is only callable via an object.
Previously this case could end up wrapped as static or non-static
in PHP. If it was wrapped as static, attempting to call non-static
overloaded forms would crash with a segmentation fault.
2023-05-06: mmomtchev, wsfulton
2550 Fix typedef/using declarations to a typedef struct/class.
2023-05-04: erezgeva
[D] 2538 Drop support for D1/Tango, which was discontinued in
2012. Wrappers for D2/Phobos are now generated by default, though
the -d2 command line option is still accepted (and now ignored) for
backward compatibility.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

2502 Allow using snprintf() instead of sprintf() in wrappers.
We aim to produce code that works with C90 or C++98 so we can't
assume snprintf() is available, but it almost always is (even
on systems from before it was standardised) so having a way to
use it is helpful.
We enable this automatically if the compiler claims conformance
with at least C99 or C++11. It can also be enabled manually by
defining SWIG_HAVE_SNPRINTF. Define SWIG_NO_SNPRINTF to disable
completely.
The fallback is to call sprintf() without a buffer size check,
which is what we've done until now. Adding a check after the
call seems of limited benefit - if the buffer was overflowed
then it's too late to block it, and most of our uses either have a
fixed maximum possible size or dynamically allocate a buffer that's
large enough.

[Javascript] Take into account numinputs when counting arguments.
2023-04-24: olly
[PHP] Add throws typemaps for std:string* and const std::string*.
2023-04-23: olly
[Javascript] 2453 The testsuite and examples now select which
Javascript engine to test based on what was detected by configure.
Previously they'd always test with node you specified a different
engine (e.g. with `ENGINE=jsc` on the make command line). Now you
only need to specify ENGINE if you have more than one engine
installed.
2023-04-23: olly
[Javascript] Turn on C++ output when wrapping for node, like
we already do when wrapping for V8-without-node.
The testsuite was masking this bug by using SWIG options
`-v8 -DBUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION=1` rather than `-node` when testing
with nodejs, while the javascript examples were masking this by
all getting processed with -c++.
This shouldn't be an incompatible change for users, as if you're
wrapping a C API you'd have to be working around the problem before
this change (like our testsuite and examples were), and this change
shouldn't break your workaround - it just makes it unnecessary.
2023-04-21: mmomtchev
[Javascript] Fix naming of internal C++ helper for wrapping
variables for node to use the "getter" naming scheme rather
than the function wrapping one. In practice this didn't actually
cause problems because Node wrappers are always compiled as C++
and the parameters are always different even if the names are
the same.
2023-04-21: olly
[PHP] Support INPUT,INOUT,OUTPUT for std::string&.
By default SWIG/PHP wraps std::string& as a pass-by-reference PHP
string parameter, but sometimes such a parameter is only for input
or only for output, so add support for the named typemaps that other
target languages support.
2023-04-21: degasus
2519 Fix CanCastAsInteger range check to clear errno first to fix
bogus failures for valid inputs.if errno is set.
2023-04-21: ZackerySpytz
[OCaml] 1439 Fix reference typemaps for std::string
2023-04-21: olly
2183 Fix ifdef and ifndef to work inside a %define. Previously
they were silently ignored in this context (but if defined already
worked here if you need a workaround which works for older
versions).
2023-04-20: erezgeva
[Go] 2533 Implement argcargv.i library for Go.
2023-04-19: davidcl
[Scilab] Add support for Scilab 2023.x.
Introduce a new `-gatewayxml6` option to generate XML with full
function names.

https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1163/ #1882 2525
Fix preprocessor expansion when a macro expands to the name of
another macro which takes parameters from the input following the
original macro expansion.

[Ruby] 2527 Fix "undefining the allocator of T_DATA" warning seen
with Ruby 3.2.
2023-04-18: davidcl
[Scilab] 894 extract values with ":" for typemap (int* IN, int IN_SIZE)
2023-04-14: olly
[PHP7] Support for PHP7 has been removed. PHP7 security support
ended 2022-11-28 so it doesn't make sense to include support for
it in the SWIG 4.2.x release series.

[Python] 2515 Add support for all STL containers to be constructible from a Python set.
The previous implementation used the Python Sequence Protocol to convert from Python types
to STL containers. The new implementation uses the Python Iterator Protocol instead and
thereby can convert from a Python set too.
2023-03-25: alatina
[Octave] 2512 Add support for Octave 8.1.
2023-03-22: wsfulton
[C] 2478 Minor enhancements to std::array wrappers in std_array.i.
2023-03-13: wsfulton
Improved error checking when using %template to instantiate templates within
the correct scope.
1. When a template is instantiated via %template and uses the unary scope
operator ::, an error occurs if the instantiation is attempted within a
namespace that does not enclose the instantiated template.
For example, the following will now error as ::test::max is not enclosed within test1:
Error: '::test::max' resolves to 'test::max' and was incorrectly instantiated in
scope 'test1' instead of within scope 'test'.
namespace test1 {
%template(maxchar) ::test::max<char>;
}
2. SWIG previously failed to always detect a template did not exist when using
%template. In particular when instantiating a global template incorrectly within
namespace. The code below now correctly emits an error:
Error: Template 'test5::GlobalVector' undefined.
namespace test5 {
}
template<typename T> struct GlobalVector {};
%template(GVI) test5::GlobalVector<int>;
2023-03-13: wsfulton
Error out if an attempt is made to define a class using the unary scope
operator ::. The following is not legal C++ and now results in an error:
Error: Using the unary scope operator :: in class definition '::Space2::B' is invalid.
namespace Space2 {
struct B;
}
struct ::Space2::B {};
2023-03-08: wsfulton
Fix duplicate const in generated code when template instantiation type is const
and use of template parameter is also explicitly const, such as:
template <typename T> struct Conster {
void cccc1(T const& t) {}
};
%template(ConsterInt) Conster<const int>;
Above previously led to generated code:
(arg1)->cccc1((int const const &)*arg2);
instead of
(arg1)->cccc1((int const &)*arg2);
2023-03-01: wsfulton
Partial template specialization fixes to support default arguments from the primary
template's parameter list.
template<class Y, class T=int> struct X { void primary() {} };
// Previously the specialization below resulted in:
// Error: Inconsistent argument count in template partial specialization. 1 2
template<class YY> struct X<YY*> { void special(YY*) {} };
// Both of these correctly wrap the partially specialized template
%template(StringPtr) X<const char *>;
%template(ShortPtr) X<short *, int>;
2023-02-15: wsfulton
1300 Further partial template specialization fixes.
Fixes when templates are used as a template parameter in a partially specialized
instantiation such as:
template<typename V> struct Vect {};
template<class T, typename TT> class Foo { ... };
template<class TS, typename TTS> class Foo<Vect<TS>, TTS> { ... };
%template(VectInt) Vect<int>;
%template(FooVectIntDouble) Foo<Vect<int>, double>; // was previously attempting to use primary template
Also fixes partial specialization where the same template parameter name is used twice,
for example:
template<typename X, typename Y> struct H { ... };
template<typename T> struct H<T, T> { ... };
%template(HInts) H<int, int>; // was previously attempting to use primary template
2023-01-27: jschueller
2492 [python] Fix unused parameter warnings for self parameter in
generated C/C++ wrapper code.
2023-01-14: wsfulton
Fix deduction of partially specialized template parameters when the specialized
parameter is non-trivial, used in a wrapped method and the type to %template uses
typedefs. For example:
typedef double & DoubleRef;
template <typename T> struct XX {};
template <typename T> struct XX<T &> { void fn(T t) {} };
%template(XXD) XX<DoubleRef>;
The type of the parameter in the instantiated template for fn is now correctly deduced
as double.
2023-01-03: wsfulton
983 Fix seg fault when instantiating templates with parameters that are function
parameters containing templates, such as:
%template(MyC) C<int(std::vector<int>)>;
2023-01-03: wsfulton
Complete support for C++11 variadic function templates. Support was previously limited
to just one template parameter. Now zero or more template parameters are supported
in the %template instantiation.
2022-12-29: wsfulton
1863 Syntax error fixes parsing more elaborate parameter pack arguments that are
used in function pointers, member function pointers:
template <typename... V> struct VariadicParms {
void ParmsFuncPtrPtr(int (*)(V*...)) {}
void ParmsFuncPtrPtrRef(int (*)(V*&...)) {}
void ParmsFuncPtrPtrRValueRef(int (*)(V*&&...)) {}
void ParmsFuncPtrRef(int (*)(V&...)) {}
void ParmsFuncPtrRValueRef(int (*)(V&&...)) {}
void ParmsMemFuncPtrPtr(int (KlassMemFuncs::*)(V*...)) {}
void ParmsMemFuncPtrPtrRef(int (KlassMemFuncs::*)(V*&...)) {}
void ParmsMemFuncPtrPtrRValueRef(int (KlassMemFuncs::*)(V*&&...)) {}
void ParmsMemFuncPtrRef(int (KlassMemFuncs::*)(V&...)) {}
void ParmsMemFuncPtrRValueRef(int (KlassMemFuncs::*)(V&&...)) {}
};
%template(VariadicParms0) VariadicParms<>;
%template(VariadicParms1) VariadicParms<A>;
Also in various other places such as within noexcept specifiers:
template<typename T, typename... Args>
void emplace(Args &&... args) noexcept(
std::is_nothrow_constructible<T, Args &&...>::value);
2022-12-27: wsfulton
Fix instantiation of variadic class templates containing parameter pack arguments that
are function pointers.
template <typename... V> struct VariadicParms {
void ParmsFuncPtrVal(int (*)(V...)) {}
};
%template(VariadicParms0) VariadicParms<>;
%template(VariadicParms1) VariadicParms<A>;
2022-12-23: wsfulton
1863 Fix syntax error parsing variadic templates containing parameter pack arguments that
are function pointers.
2022-12-22: wsfulton
Complete support for C++11 variadic class templates. Support was previously limited
to just one template parameter. Now zero or more template parameters are supported.

1636 Fix syntax error for misplaced Doxygen comment after struct/class member.
Fix syntax error using Doxygen member groups syntax, "///*}", when used after
final struct/class member.
2022-12-05: wsfulton
2023 Fix garbled Doxygen post comments in parameter lists.

2022-12-03: wsfulton
1609 Fix syntax error parsing of Doxygen comments after last enum item.
2022-12-03: wsfulton
1715 Fix syntax error parsing of unconventionally placed Doxygen post
comments for enum items.
2022-12-02: wsfulton
624 1021 Improved template template parameters support. Previously, specifying more
than one simple template template parameter resulted in a parse error. Now
multiple template template parameters are working including instantiation with
%template. Example:
template <template<template<class> class, class> class Op, template<class> class X, class Y>
class C { ... };
2022-11-26: wsfulton
1589 1590 Slightly better decltype() support for expressions, such as:
int i;
... decltype(&i) ...
These result in a warning for non-trivial expressions which SWIG cannot evaluate:
Warning 344: Unable to deduce decltype for '&i'.
See 'Type Inference' in CPlusPlus.html for workarounds.
2022-11-22: wsfulton
366 1037 Fix seg fault handling template parameter expressions
containing '<=' or '>='.
2022-11-18: wsfulton
Duplicate class template instantiations via %template now issue a warning and are ignored.
%template(Aint) A<int>;
%template(Aint2) A<int>; // Now ignored and issues a warning
example.i:7: Warning 404: Duplicate template instantiation of 'A< int >' with name 'Aint2' ignored,
example.i:6: Warning 404: previous instantiation of 'A< int >' with name 'Aint'.
A single empty template instantiation before a named instantiation is the one exception
for allowing duplicate template instantiations as the empty template instantiation does not
create a wrapper for the template, it merely adds the instantiation into SWIG's internal
type system.
Duplicate empty template instantiations are quietly ignored.
%template() B<int>;
%template(Bint) B<int>; // OK
%template() C<int>;
%template() C<int>; // Quietly ignored now
%template(Cint) C<int>; // OK
Note that default template parameters are considered when looking for duplicates such as:
template <typename T, typename U = short> struct D {};
%template(Dint) D<int>;
%template(Dintshort) D<int, short>;
example.i:7: Warning 404: Duplicate template instantiation of 'D< int,short >' with name 'Dintshort' ignored,
example.i:6: Warning 404: previous instantiation of 'D< int >' with name 'Dint'.
Note that the following always was ignored, but that was because the chosen name was a
duplicate rather than the template being a duplicate:
%template(Eint) E<int>;
%template(Eint) E<int>; // Always has been ignored as a redefined identifier
The old warning was:
example.i:7: Warning 302: Identifier 'Eint' redefined (ignored) (Renamed from 'E< int >'),
example.i:6: Warning 302: previous definition of 'Eint' (Renamed from 'E< int >').
