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 1.3.24 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. If you want to use both the patched version of
SWIG and the stock version, 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-1.3.24.patch
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*
