SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)
Version: 2.0.10 (27 May 2013)
Tagline: SWIG is a compiler that integrates C and C++ with languages
including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, D, Go, Lua,
Octave, R, Scheme (Guile, MzScheme/Racket, CHICKEN), Ocaml,
Modula-3, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI) and Pike.
SWIG can also export its parse tree into Lisp s-expressions and
XML.
SWIG reads annotated C/C++ header files and creates wrapper code (glue
code) in order to make the corresponding C/C++ libraries available to
the listed languages, or to extend C/C++ programs with a scripting
language.
Up-to-date SWIG related information can be found at
http://www.swig.org
A SWIG FAQ and other hints can be found on the SWIG Wiki:

License
=======
Please see the LICENSE file for details of the SWIG license. For
further insight into the license including the license of SWIG's
output code, please visit
http://www.swig.org/legal.html
Release Notes
=============
Please see the CHANGES.current file for a detailed list of bug fixes and
new features for the current release. The CHANGES file contains bug fixes
and new features for older versions. A summary of changes in each release
can be found in the RELEASENOTES file.
Documentation
=============
The Doc/Manual directory contains the most recent set of updated
documentation for this release. The documentation is available in
three different formats, each of which contains identical content.
These format are, pdf (Doc/Manual/SWIGDocumentation.pdf), single
page html (Doc/Manual/SWIGDocumentation.html) or multiple page html
(other files in Doc/Manual). Please select your chosen format and
copy/install to wherever takes your fancy.
There is some technical developer documentation available in the
Doc/Devel subdirectory. This is not necessarily up-to-date, but it
has some information on SWIG internals.
Documentation is also online at http://www.swig.org/doc.html.
Backwards Compatibility
=======================
The developers strive their best to preserve backwards compatibility
between releases, but this is not always possible as the overriding
aim is to provide the best wrapping experience. Where backwards
compatibility is known to be broken, it is clearly marked as an
incompatibility in the CHANGES and CHANGES.current files.
See the documentation for details of the SWIG_VERSION preprocessor
symbol if you have backward compatibility issues and need to use more
than one version of SWIG.
Installation
============
Please read the Doc/Manual/Preface.html#Preface_installation for
full installation instructions for Windows, Unix and Mac OS X.
The INSTALL file has generic build and installation instructions for
Unix users.
Testing
=======
The typical 'make -k check' can be performed on Unix operating systems.
Please read Doc/Manual/Preface.html#Preface_testing for details.
Examples
========
The Examples directory contains a variety of examples of using SWIG
and it has some browsable documentation. Simply point your browser to
the file "Example/index.html".
The Examples directory also includes Visual C++ project 6 (.dsp) files for
building some of the examples on Windows. Later versions of Visual Studio
will convert these old style project files into a current solution file.
Known Issues
============
There are minor known bugs, details of which are in the bug tracker, see
http://www.swig.org/bugs.html.
Troubleshooting
===============
In order to operate correctly, SWIG relies upon a set of library
files. If after building SWIG, you get error messages like this,
$ swig foo.i
:1. Unable to find 'swig.swg'
:3. Unable to find 'tcl8.swg'
it means that SWIG has either been incorrectly configured or
installed. To fix this:
1. Make sure you remembered to do a 'make install' and that
the installation actually worked. Make sure you have
write permission on the install directory.
2. If that doesn't work, type 'swig -swiglib' to find out
where SWIG thinks its library is located.
3. If the location is not where you expect, perhaps
you supplied a bad option to configure. Use
./configure --prefix=pathname to set the SWIG install
location. Also, make sure you don't include a shell
escape character such as ~ when you specify the path.
4. The SWIG library can be changed by setting the SWIG_LIB
environment variable. However, you really shouldn't
have to do this.
If you are having other troubles, you might look at the SWIG Wiki at
http://www.dabeaz.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl.
Participate!
============
Please report any errors and submit patches (if possible)! We only
have access to a limited variety of hardware (Linux, Solaris, OS-X,
and Windows). All contributions help.
If you would like to join the SWIG development team or contribute a
language module to the distribution, please contact the swig-devel
mailing list, details at http://www.swig.org/mail.html.

Below are the changes for the current release.
See the CHANGES file for changes in older releases.
See the RELEASENOTES file for a summary of changes in each release.
Version 2.0.10 (27 May 2013)
============================
2013-05-25: wsfulton
[Python] Fix Python 3 inconsistency when negative numbers are passed
where a parameter expects an unsigned C type. An OverFlow error is
now consistently thrown instead of a TypeError.
2013-05-25: Artem Serebriyskiy
SVN Patch ticket #338 - fixes to %attribute macros for template usage
with %arg.
2013-05-19: wsfulton
Fix ccache-swig internal error bug due to premature file cleanup.
Fixes SF bug 1319 which shows up as a failure in the ccache tests on
Debian 64 bit Wheezy, possibly because ENABLE_ZLIB is defined.
This is a corner case which will be hit when the maximum number of files
in the cache is set to be quite low (-F option), resulting in a cache miss.
2013-05-09: kwwette
[Octave] Fix bugs in Octave module loading:
- fix a memory leak in setting of global variables
- install functions only once, to speed up module loads
2013-04-28: gjanssens
[Guile] Updates in guile module:
- Add support for guile 2.0
- Drop support for guile 1.6
- Drop support for generating wrappers using guile's gh interface.
All generated wrappers will use the scm interface from now on.
- Deprecate -gh and -scm options. They are no longer needed.
A warning will be issued when these options are still used.
- Fix all tests and examples to have a successful travis test
2013-04-18: wsfulton
Apply Patch #36 from Jesus Lopez to add support for $descriptor() special variable macro expansion
in fragments. For example:
%fragment("nameDescriptor", "header")
%{
static const char *nameDescriptor = "$descriptor(Name)";
%}
which will generate into the wrapper if the fragment is used:
static const char *nameDescriptor = "SWIGTYPE_Name";
2013-04-18: wsfulton
Fix SF Bug #428 - Syntax error when preprocessor macros are defined inside of enum lists, such as:
typedef enum {
eZero = 0
#define ONE 1
} EFoo;
The macros are silently ignored.
2013-04-17: wsfulton
[C#] Pull patch #34 from BrantKyser to fix smart pointers in conjuction with directors.
2013-04-15: kwwette
[Octave] Fix bugs in output of cleanup code.
- Cleanup code is now written also after the "fail:" label, so it will be called if
a SWIG_exception is raised by the wrapping function, consistent with other modules.
- Octave module now also recognises the "$cleanup" special variable, if needed.
2013-04-08: kwwette
Add -MP option to SWIG for generating phony targets for all dependencies.
- Prevents make from complaining if header files have been deleted before
the dependency file has been updated.
- Modelled on similar option in GCC.
2013-04-09: olly
[PHP] Add missing directorin typemap for char* and char[] which
fixes director_string testcase failure.
2013-04-05: wsfulton
[Ruby] SF Bug #1292 - Runtime fixes for Proc changes in ruby-1.9 when using STL
wrappers that override the default predicate, such as:
%template(Map) std::map<swig::LANGUAGE_OBJ, swig::LANGUAGE_OBJ, swig::BinaryPredicate<> >;
2013-04-05: wsfulton
[Ruby] SF Bug #1159 - Correctly check rb_respond_to call return values to fix some
further 1.9 problems with functors and use of Complex wrappers.
2013-04-02: wsfulton
[Ruby] Runtime fixes for std::complex wrappers for ruby-1.9 - new native Ruby complex numbers are used.
2013-03-30: wsfulton
[Ruby] Fix seg fault when using STL containers of generic Ruby types, GC_VALUE or LANGUAGE_OBJECT,
on exit of the Ruby interpreter. More frequently observed in ruby-1.9.
2013-03-29: wsfulton
[Ruby] Fix delete_if (reject!) for the STL container wrappers which previously would
sometimes seg fault or not work.
2013-03-25: wsfulton
[Python] Fix some undefined behaviour deleting slices in the STL containers.
2013-03-19: wsfulton
[C#, Java, D] Fix seg fault in SWIG using directors when class and virtual method names are
the same except being in different namespaces when the %nspace feature is not being used.
2013-02-19: kwwette
Fix bug in SWIG's handling of qualified (e.g. const) variables of array type. Given the typedef
a(7).q(volatile).double myarray // typedef volatile double[7] myarray;
the type
q(const).myarray // const myarray
becomes
a(7).q(const volatile).double // const volatile double[7]
Previously, SwigType_typedef_resolve() produces the type
q(const).a(7).q(volatile).double // non-sensical type
which would never match %typemap declarations, whose types were parsed correctly.
Add typemap_array_qualifiers.i to the test suite which checks for the correct behaviour.
2013-02-18: wsfulton
Deprecate typedef names used as constructor and destructor names in %extend. The real
class/struct name should be used.
typedef struct tagEStruct {
int ivar;
} EStruct;
%extend tagEStruct {
EStruct() // illegal name, should be tagEStruct()
{
EStruct *s = new EStruct();
s->ivar = ivar0;
return s;
}
~EStruct() // illegal name, should be ~tagEStruct()
{
delete $self;
}
}
For now these trigger a warning:
extend_constructor_destructor.i:107: Warning 522: Use of an illegal constructor name 'EStruct' in
%extend is deprecated, the constructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.
extend_constructor_destructor.i:111: Warning 523: Use of an illegal destructor name 'EStruct' in
%extend is deprecated, the destructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.
These %extend destructor and constructor names were valid up to swig-2.0.4, however swig-2.0.5 ignored
them altogether for C code as reported in SF bug #1306. The old behaviour of using them has been
restored for now, but is officially deprecated. This does not apply to anonymously defined typedef
classes/structs such as:
typedef struct {...} X;
2013-02-17: kwwette
When generating functions provided by %extend, use "(void)" for no-argument functions
instead of "()". This prevents warnings when compiling with "gcc -Wstrict-prototypes".
2013-02-17: kwwette
[Octave] Minor fix to autodoc generation: get the right type for functions returning structs.
2013-02-15: wsfulton
Deprecate typedef names used in %extend that are not the real class/struct name. For example:
typedef struct StructBName {
int myint;
} StructB;
%extend StructB {
void method() {}
}
will now trigger a warning:
swig_extend.i:19: Warning 326: Deprecated %extend name used - the struct name StructBName
should be used instead of the typedef name StructB.
This is only partially working anyway (the %extend only worked if placed after the class
definition).
2013-02-09: wsfulton
[CFFI] Apply patch #22 - Fix missing package before &body
2013-01-29: wsfulton
[Java] Ensure 'javapackage' typemap is used as it stopped working from version 2.0.5.
2013-01-28: wsfulton
[Python] Apply patch SF #334 - Fix default value conversions "TRUE"->True, "FALSE"->False.
2013-01-28: wsfulton
[Java] Apply patch SF #335 - Truly ignore constructors in directors with %ignore.
2013-01-18: Brant Kyser
[Java] Patch #15 - Allow the use of the nspace feature without the -package commandline option.
This works as long and the new jniclasspackage pragma is used to place the JNI intermediate class
into a package and the nspace feature is used to place all exposed types into a package.
2013-01-15: wsfulton
Fix Visual Studio examples to work when SWIG is unzipped into a directory containing spaces.
2013-01-15: wsfulton
[C#] Fix cstype typemap lookup for member variables so that a fully qualified variable name
matches. For example:
%typemap(cstype) bool MVar::mvar "MyBool"
struct MVar {
bool mvar;
};
2013-01-11: Brant Kyser
[Java, C#, D] SF Bug #1299 - Fix generated names for when %nspace is used on
classes with the same name in two different namespaces.
2013-01-11: Vladimir Kalinin
[C#] Add support for csdirectorin 'pre', 'post' and 'terminator' attributes.
2013-01-08: olly
[PHP] Fix to work with a ZTS build of PHP (broken in 2.0.7).
2013-01-07: olly
Fix bashism in configure, introduced in 2.0.9.
2013-01-06: wsfulton
Pull patch #4 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1296 - Fix incorrect warning for virtual destructors
in templates, such as:
Warning 521: Illegal destructor name B< A >::~B(). Ignored.
2013-01-05: wsfulton
[Python] Pull patch #3 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1295 - standard exceptions as
classes using the SWIG_STD_EXCEPTIONS_AS_CLASSES macro.
2013-01-04: wsfulton
[Java] Pull patch #2 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1283 - fix smart pointers in conjuction
with directors.
2013-01-03: wsfulton
[Java] Pull patch #1 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1278 - fix directors and nspace feature when
multilevel namespaces are used.
