SWIG 1.3.x Patches
==================
This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
building your own extension modules that need to interface with
wxPython. These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
source tree soon.
wxPython currently uses the 1.3.27 version of SWIG, which you can get
from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patch(es) in
this directory. Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here
and then build as normal. I have also have made available a tarball
containing the patched SWIG sources, plus a win32 binary, located
here:
http://starship.python.net/crew/robind/wxPython/tools/
If you want to use the patched version of SWIG and still have the
stock version available for other projects, then you can configure the
patched version to use a different --prefix and then specify that
executable when running setup.py, like this:
python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig-1.3.27.patch
SWIG changed slightly how the runtime type_info data is structured
in order to optimize load time and runtime access. wxPython
uncovered a bug in the implementation, so this patch includes the
fix that was checked in to CVS for 1.3.28.
SWIG changed how the import statments are output to the proxy
file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
Bug fix for SWIG's definition of the %makedefault macro.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig-1.3.24.patch (now obsolete)
A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
of objects that don't have a copy constructor.) This patch fixes
the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
making a copy.
Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed.
It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
docstring attribute.
Some typos fixed, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version
of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig.python-2.patch
Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the
updated docs in the patch for more details.
%feature("autodoc")
%feature("docstring")
%feature("pythonprepend")
%feature("pythonappend")
%module(docstring="string")
%module(package="string")

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch was applied to SWIG's CVS on 07/12/2004 and is in the
1.3.22 relese.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
newlines in attribute values were changed
to the #10; entity reference so they will
be preserved by parsers.
Also, added options for dumping or
writing to a file the XML of the parse
tree *after* other language modules have
been run (previously you could only do
the XML output *instead of* a regular
language module.)
See SF Patch #864689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in
the 1.3.20 release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
library. See SF Patch #829317.
*Checked in 10/31/2003*
swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces
the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
increases the performance of the
build_renamers script used in the wxPython
build. See SF Patch #829319.
*Checked in 10/31/2003*
swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
especially in how the proxy code is
generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for
more details, also SF Patch #829325.
*Checked in 10/31/2003*
