1 | SWIG 1.3.x Patches | |
2 | ================== | |
3 | ||
4 | This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that | |
5 | are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for | |
6 | building your own extension modules that need to interface with | |
7 | wxPython. These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch | |
8 | tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG | |
9 | source tree soon. | |
10 | ||
11 | wxPython currently uses the 1.3.24 version of SWIG, which you can get | |
12 | from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patch(es) in this | |
13 | directory. Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here and | |
14 | then build as normal. If you want to use both the patched version of | |
15 | SWIG and the stock version, then you can configure the patched version | |
16 | to use a different --prefix and then specify that executable when | |
17 | running setup.py, like this: | |
18 | ||
19 | python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params] | |
20 | ||
21 | ||

24 | swig-1.3.24.patch | |
25 | ||
26 | A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that | |
27 | causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made | |
28 | of objects that don't have a copy constructor.) This patch fixes | |
29 | the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of | |
30 | making a copy. | |
31 | ||
32 | Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed. | |
33 | It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit | |
34 | test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch. | |
35 | ||
36 | Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a | |
37 | docstring attribute. | |
38 | ||
39 | Some typos fixed, etc. | |
40 | ||
41 | ||

44 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
45 | This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version | |
46 | of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24. | |
47 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
48 | ||
49 | ||
50 | swig.python-2.patch | |
51 | ||
52 | Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the | |
53 | updated docs in the patch for more details. | |
54 | ||
55 | %feature("autodoc") | |
56 | %feature("docstring") | |
57 | %feature("pythonprepend") | |
58 | %feature("pythonappend") | |
59 | ||
60 | %module(docstring="string") | |
61 | %module(package="string") | |

66 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
67 | This patch was applied to SWIG's CVS on 07/12/2004 and is in the | |
68 | 1.3.22 relese. | |
69 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
70 | ||
71 | swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output | |
72 | of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and | |
73 | newlines in attribute values were changed | |
74 | to the #10; entity reference so they will | |
75 | be preserved by parsers. | |
76 | ||
77 | Also, added options for dumping or | |
78 | writing to a file the XML of the parse | |
79 | tree *after* other language modules have | |
80 | been run (previously you could only do | |
81 | the XML output *instead of* a regular | |
82 | language module.) | |
83 | See SF Patch #864689 | |
84 | ||
85 | ||
86 | ||
87 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
88 | These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in | |
89 | the 1.3.20 release. | |
90 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
91 | ||
92 | swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH | |
93 | library. See SF Patch #829317. | |
94 | *Checked in 10/31/2003* | |
95 | ||
96 | swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces | |
97 | the size of the XML output of SWIG, which | |
98 | increases the performance of the | |
99 | build_renamers script used in the wxPython | |
100 | build. See SF Patch #829319. | |
101 | *Checked in 10/31/2003* | |
102 | ||
103 | swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module, | |
104 | especially in how the proxy code is | |
105 | generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for | |
106 | more details, also SF Patch #829325. | |
107 | *Checked in 10/31/2003* | |
