1SWIG 1.3.x Patches
2==================
3
4This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
5are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
6building your own extension modules that need to interface with
7wxPython. These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
8tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
9source tree soon.
10
11wxPython currently uses the 1.3.29 version of SWIG, which you can get
12from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patch(es) in
13this directory. Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here
14and then build as normal. I have also have made available a tarball
15containing the patched SWIG sources, plus a win32 binary, located
16here:

19
20If you want to use the patched version of SWIG and still have the
21stock version available for other projects, then you can configure the
22patched version to use a different --prefix and then specify that
23executable when running setup.py, like this:
24
25 python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params]

31swig-1.3.29.patch
32
33 SWIG changed how the import statements are output to the proxy
34 file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
35 the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
36 well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
37 so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
38
39 Changed the exception message used for TypeErrors to make a little
40 more sense.
41
42 Added support for dropping the leading wx from wxNames using
43 %rename("%(wxpy)s") "";
44
45 Don't set a module attribute for the *_swigregister functions,
46 just call the one in the extension module directly.
47
48 Fixes to allow compiling with Python 2.5 headers.

52
53swig-1.3.27.patch
54
55 SWIG changed slightly how the runtime type_info data is structured
56 in order to optimize load time and runtime access. wxPython
57 uncovered a bug in the implementation, so this patch includes the
58 fix that was checked in to CVS for 1.3.28.
59
60 SWIG changed how the import statements are output to the proxy
61 file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
62 the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
63 well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
64 so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
65
66 Bug fix for SWIG's definition of the %makedefault macro.
67
68 Fixes to allow compiling with Python 2.5 headers.

72
73swig-1.3.24.patch (now obsolete)
74
75 A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
76 causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
77 of objects that don't have a copy constructor.) This patch fixes
78 the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
79 making a copy.
80
81 Part of my autodoc patch was disabled because a unit-test failed.
82 It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
83 test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
84
85 Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
86 docstring attribute.
87
88 Some typos fixed, etc.

94This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version
95of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24.

99swig.python-2.patch
100
101 Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the
102 updated docs in the patch for more details.
103
104 %feature("autodoc")
105 %feature("docstring")
106 %feature("pythonprepend")
107 %feature("pythonappend")
108
109 %module(docstring="string")
110 %module(package="string")

114
115------------------------------------------------------------------------
116This patch was applied to SWIG's CVS on 07/12/2004 and is in the
1171.3.22 release.
118------------------------------------------------------------------------
119
120swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
121 of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
122 newlines in attribute values were changed
123 to the #10; entity reference so they will
124 be preserved by parsers.
125
126 Also, added options for dumping or
127 writing to a file the XML of the parse
128 tree *after* other language modules have
129 been run (previously you could only do
130 the XML output *instead of* a regular
131 language module.)
132 See SF Patch #864689
133
134
135
136------------------------------------------------------------------------
137These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in
138the 1.3.20 release.
139------------------------------------------------------------------------
140
141swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
142 library. See SF Patch #829317.
143 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
144
145swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces
146 the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
147 increases the performance of the
148 build_renamers script used in the wxPython
149 build. See SF Patch #829319.
150 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
151
152swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
153 especially in how the proxy code is
154 generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for
155 more details, also SF Patch #829325.
156 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
