[Perl] Add size_type, value_type, const_reference to the STL containers.

2012-08-15: wsfulton
[Python] Add discard and add methods to std::set wrappers so that pyabc.i can be used ensuring
MutableSet is a valid abstract base class for std::set. As reported by Alexey Sokolov.
Similarly for std::multiset.

2012-08-15: wsfulton
[Python] Fix 3541744 - Missing PyInt_FromSize_t calls for Python 3.

2012-08-13: wsfulton

with many arguments.

2012-08-05: wsfulton
[Perl] 3545877 - Don't undefine bool if defined by C99 stdbool.h - problem using
Perl 5.16 and later.

2012-08-04: wsfulton
Remove incorrect warning (314) about target language keywords which were triggered
by using declarations and using directives. For example 'string' is a keyword in C:
namespace std { class string; }
using std::string;

2012-07-21: wsfulton
Fix display of pointers in various places on 64 bit systems - only 32 bits were being shown.

2012-07-21: wsfulton
Fix gdb debugger functions 'swigprint' and 'locswigprint' to display to the gdb output window
rather than stdout. This fixes display problems in gdbtui and the ensures the output
appears where expected in other gdb based debuggers such as Eclipse CDT.

2012-07-20: kwwette
[Octave] segfault-on-exit prevention hack now preserves exit status, and uses C99 _Exit().

2012-07-02: wsfulton
Fix Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/672035, typemap copy failure - regression introduced
in swig-2.0.5:
%include<stl.i>
using std::pair;
%template(StrPair) pair<std::string, std::string>;

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) {}
void useit2a(Outer2::Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
void useit2b(::Outer2::Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
void useit2c(Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
namespace Outer2 {
void useit2d(Space2::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:

namespace Space1 {
namespace Space2 {
template<typename T> struct YYY;
}
template<typename T> struct Space2::YYY {
T yyy(T h) {
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
types are correctly found in scope.

namespace Outer2 {
namespace Space2 {
class Thing2;
}
}
using namespace Outer2;
using Space2::Thing2;
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.

2012-05-29: wsfulton
Fix 3529601 - seg fault when a protected method has the "director"
feature but the parent class does not. Also fix similar problems with
the allprotected feature.

2012-05-28: wsfulton
Fix seg fault when attempting to warn about an illegal destructor - 3530055, 3530078 and 3530118.

2012-05-26: wsfulton
std::string typemap modifications so they can be used with %apply for other string
classes.

2012-05-25: wsfulton
[Lua] Fixes for -external-runtime to work again.

2012-05-22: szager

2012-05-14: wsfulton
Fix some language's std::map wrappers to recognise difference_type, size_type, key_type
and mapped_type.

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.

[PHP] Fix memory leak in code generated for a callback. Patch from
SF bug 3510806.

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
wrapper (e.g. the stripped size is reduced by 6% for Xapian's PHP
bindings).

2012-05-11: wsfulton
[Java] SF patch 3522855 Fix unintended uninitialised memory access in OUTPUT typemaps.

introduced in swig-2.0.6.

2012-05-11: wsfulton
SF bug 3525050 - Fix regression introduced in swig-2.0.5 whereby defining one typemap
method such as an 'out' typemap may hide another typemap method such as an 'in' typemap -
only occurs when the type is a template type where the template parameters are the same
via a typedef.

2012-05-10: olly
[PHP] Fix the constant typemaps for SWIGTYPE, etc - previously
these used the wrong name for renamed constants. Add
autodoc_runme.php to the testsuite as a regression test for this.

2012-05-02: ianlancetaylor
[Go] Remove compatibility support for gccgo 4.6. Using
SWIG with gccgo will now require gccgo 4.7. Using SWIG
with the more commonly used gc compiler is unaffected.

2012-05-01: wsfulton
Fix generated code for C forward enum declarations in some languages.

2012-03-26: xavier98
[octave] Apply patch 3425993 from jgillis: add extra logic to the octave_swig_type::dims(void) method: it checks if the user has defined a __dims__ method and uses this in stead of returning (1,1)
[octave] Apply patch 3424833 from jgillis: make is_object return true for swig types

2012-03-24: wsfulton

Fix 3494791 - %$isglobal for %rename matching.

2012-03-20: wsfulton
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.

2012-03-16: wsfulton

2012-01-24: wsfulton
Fix crash with bad regex - bug 3474250.

2012-01-24: wsfulton
[Python] Add Python stepped slicing support to the STL wrappers (std::vector, std::list).
Assigning to a slice, reading a slice and deleting a slice with steps now work.
For example:

%template(vector_i) std::vector<int>

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]

2012-01-23: klickverbot
[D] Correctly annotate function pointers with C linkage.
[D] Exception and Error have become blessed names; removed d_exception_name test case.

2012-01-20: wsfulton
[Python] Fix some indexing bugs in Python STL wrappers when the index is negative, eg:

%template(vector_i) std::vector<int>

iv=vector_i([0,1,2,3,4,5])
iv[-7:]

now returns [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] instead of [5].

vv[7:9] = [22,33]

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

Also fix some segfaults when replacing ranges, eg when il is a std::list wrapper:

il[0:2] = [11]

2012-01-17: wsfulton
[Go] Fix forward class declaration within a class when used as a base.

2012-01-07: wsfulton

2011-12-20: wsfulton
[Java] Add (char *STRING, size_t LENGTH) director typemaps.

2011-12-20: wsfulton

[Ocaml, Octave, PHP, Python, Ruby] Correct special variables in 'directorargout' typemap.
This change will break any 'directorargout' typemaps you may have written. Please change:
$result to $1
$input to $result

Also fix the named 'directorargout' DIRECTOROUT typemaps for these languages which didn't
previously compile and add in $1, $2 etc expansion.

2011-11-25: wsfulton
[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.

Fix constructors in named typedef class declarations as reported by Gregory Bronner:

typedef struct A {
A(){} // Constructor which was not accepted by SWIG
B(){} // NOT a constructor --illegal, but was accepted by SWIG
} B;

For C code, the fix now results in the use of 'struct A *' instead of just 'B *' in
the generated code when wrapping members in A, but ultimately this does not matter, as
they are the same thing.

[PHP] Don't generate "return $r;" in cases where $r hasn't been set.
This was basically harmless, except it generated a PHP E_NOTICE if
the calling code had enabled them.

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.

[Tcl] Apply patch 3224663 from Christian Delbaere.
1. Fix when function returns a NULL value, a "NULL" command will be created in the Tcl interpreter
and calling this command will cause a segmentation fault.

2. Previous implementation searches for class methods using a linear search causing performance issues
in wrappers for classes with many member functions. The patch adds a method hash table to classes and
changes method name lookup to use the hash table instead of doing a linear search.
