+SWIG 1.3 Patches
+================
-Some minor tweaks were made to pyexp.swg and typemaps.i to allow
-wxPython to build with Python 1.6. Just put these in your
-swig_lib/python dir and you'll be all set. These are from SWIG
-1.1-883.
+This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
+are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
+building your own extension modules that need to interface with
+wxPython. These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
+tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
+source tree soon.
-Additionally, there are some patches for SWIG sources that are needed
-for wxPython:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. python.cxx.patch, applied to .../Modules/python.cxx file will
- prevent the out typemap from being used on constructors.
- 2. cplus.cxx.patch, applied to .../SWIG/cplus.cxx will prevent
- some redundant code from being emitted to the extension
- module.
+swig.python-docstring.patch Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
- 3. pycpp.cxx.patch, applied to .../Modules/pycpp.cxx will add
- support for the addtomethod pragma for renamed constructors.
+swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
+ of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
+ newlines in attribute values were changed
+ to the #10; entity reference so they will
+ be preserved by parsers.
+ Also, added options for dumping or
+ writing to a file the XML of the parse
+ tree *after* other language modules have
+ been run (previously you could only do
+ the XML output *instead of* a regular
+ language module.)
+ See SF Patch #864689
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and will be
+in the 1.3.20 release.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
+ library. See SF Patch #829317.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces
+ the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
+ increases the performance of the
+ build_renamers script used in the wxPython
+ build. See SF Patch #829319.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
+ especially in how the proxy code is
+ generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for
+ more details, also SF Patch #829325.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
