SWIG 1.3 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 20-Feb-2004 version of SWIG. You can get
that version from their CVS using these commands::
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig login
<press ENTER for empty password>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig \
checkout -D 20-FEB-2004 SWIG
------------------------------------------------------------------------
swig.python-docstring.patch Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
See SF Patch #883402
Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
"pythonappend" and also adds a
"pythonprepend" feature that prepends
pythoncode to the begining of a
SWIG-generated proxy function or method.
Add support for two new options to the
%module directive. The first allows you
to specify a docstring for the proxy
module, you use it like this::
%module(docstring="blah") modulename
And then when generating the
modulename.py file SWIG will make a
docstring using the value given.
The second %module option allows you to
specify the name of the package that the
module will live in. This is useful when
the .i file is %imported by other .i
files. If they are to live in separate
packages then the importer can't do local
imports of the importee. If both modules
have the same package name then nothing
is generated differently than the current
SWIG functionality. If they are
different then the package name of the
importee is prepended to the import
statement and the base class declarations
in the importer. For example::
%module(pacakge="wx") _core
Multiple %module options can be specfied,
separated by commmas.
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*
