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 1.3.27 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-1.3.27.patch
32
33 SWIG changed slightly how the runtime type_info data is structured
34 in order to optimize load time and runtime access. wxPython
35 uncovered a bug in the implementation, so this patch includes the
36 fix that was checked in to CVS for 1.3.28.
37
38 SWIG changed how the import statments are output to the proxy
39 file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
40 the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
41 well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
42 so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
43
44 Bug fix for SWIG's definition of the %makedefault macro.

50swig-1.3.24.patch (now obsolete)
51
52 A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
53 causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
54 of objects that don't have a copy constructor.) This patch fixes
55 the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
56 making a copy.
57
58 Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed.
59 It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
60 test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
61
62 Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
63 docstring attribute.
64
65 Some typos fixed, etc.

78 Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the
79 updated docs in the patch for more details.

81 %feature("autodoc")
82 %feature("docstring")
83 %feature("pythonprepend")
84 %feature("pythonappend")
85
86 %module(docstring="string")

92------------------------------------------------------------------------
93This patch was applied to SWIG's CVS on 07/12/2004 and is in the
941.3.22 relese.
95------------------------------------------------------------------------
96
97swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
98 of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
99 newlines in attribute values were changed
100 to the #10; entity reference so they will
101 be preserved by parsers.
102
103 Also, added options for dumping or
104 writing to a file the XML of the parse
105 tree *after* other language modules have
106 been run (previously you could only do
107 the XML output *instead of* a regular
108 language module.)

113------------------------------------------------------------------------
114These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in
115the 1.3.20 release.
116------------------------------------------------------------------------
117
118swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
119 library. See SF Patch #829317.
120 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
121
122swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces
123 the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
124 increases the performance of the
125 build_renamers script used in the wxPython
126 build. See SF Patch #829319.
127 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
128
129swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
130 especially in how the proxy code is
131 generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for
132 more details, also SF Patch #829325.
133 *Checked in 10/31/2003*
