+SWIG 1.3.x Patches
+==================
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
tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
source tree soon.
-wxPython currently uses the 20-Feb-2004 version of SWIG. You can get
-that version from their CVS using these commands::
+wxPython currently uses the 1.3.24 version of SWIG, which you can get
+from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patch(es) in this
+directory. Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here and
+then build as normal. If you want to use both the patched version of
+SWIG and the stock version, then you can configure the patched version
+to use a different --prefix and then specify that executable when
+running setup.py, like this:
+ python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params]

- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig \
- checkout -D 20-FEB-2004 SWIG

+swig-1.3.24.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
+ causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
+ of objects that don't have a copy constructor.) This patch fixes
+ the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
+ making a copy.
+
+ Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed.
+ It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
+ test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
+ Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
+ docstring attribute.
-swig.python-docstring.patch Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
- See SF Patch #883402
+ Some typos fixed, etc.
- Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
- "pythonappend" and also adds a
- "pythonprepend" feature that prepends
- pythoncode to the begining of a
- SWIG-generated proxy function or method.
- Add support for two new options to the
- %module directive. The first allows you
- to specify a docstring for the proxy
- module, you use it like this::
- %module(docstring="blah") modulename
- And then when generating the
- modulename.py file SWIG will make a
- docstring using the value given.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version
+of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
- The second %module option allows you to
- specify the name of the package that the
- module will live in. This is useful when
- the .i file is %imported by other .i
- files. If they are to live in separate
- packages then the importer can't do local
- imports of the importee. If both modules
- have the same package name then nothing
- is generated differently than the current
- SWIG functionality. If they are
- different then the package name of the
- importee is prepended to the import
- statement and the base class declarations
- in the importer. For example::
+swig.python-2.patch
- %module(pacakge="wx") _core
+ Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the
+ updated docs in the patch for more details.
- Multiple %module options can be specfied,
- separated by commmas.
+ %feature("autodoc")
+ %feature("docstring")
+ %feature("pythonprepend")
+ %feature("pythonappend")
+ %module(docstring="string")
+ %module(package="string")

+1.3.22 relese.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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

- tree *after* other language modules have
- been run (previously you could only do
- the XML output *instead of* a regular
- language module.)

-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.
