This function does not perform any // bounds checking and negative offsets are perfectly legal. void ptrmap(char *type1, char *type2); // This is a rarely used function that performs essentially the same // operation as a C typedef. To manage datatypes at run-time, SWIG // modules manage an internal symbol table of type mappings. This // table keeps track of which types are equivalent to each other. The // ptrmap() function provides a mechanism for scripts to add symbols // to this table. For example : // // ptrmap("double_p","Real_p"); // // would make the types "doublePtr" and "RealPtr" equivalent to each // other. Pointers of either type could now be used interchangably. // // Normally this function is not needed, but it can be used to // circumvent SWIG's normal type-checking behavior or to work around // weird type-handling problems.
