-SWIG 1.3 Patches

+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 1.3.29 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. I have also have made available a tarball
+containing the patched SWIG sources, plus a win32 binary, located
+here:
+ http://starship.python.net/crew/robind/wxPython/tools/
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig login
- <press ENTER for empty password>
+If you want to use the patched version of SWIG and still have the
+stock version available for other projects, then you can configure the
+patched version to use a different --prefix and then specify that
+executable when running setup.py, like this:
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig \
- checkout -D 20-FEB-2004 SWIG
+ python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params]

+
+swig-1.3.29.patch
+
+ SWIG changed how the import statements are output to the proxy
+ file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
+ the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
+ well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
+ so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
+
+ Changed the exception message used for TypeErrors to make a little
+ more sense.
+
+ Added support for dropping the leading wx from wxNames using
+ %rename("%(wxpy)s") "";
+
+ Don't set a module attribute for the *_swigregister functions,
+ just call the one in the extension module directly.
+
+ Fixes to allow compiling with Python 2.5 headers.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+swig-1.3.27.patch
+
+ SWIG changed slightly how the runtime type_info data is structured
+ in order to optimize load time and runtime access. wxPython
+ uncovered a bug in the implementation, so this patch includes the
+ fix that was checked in to CVS for 1.3.28.

+swig-1.3.24.patch (now obsolete)
+
+ 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 because 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.
+
+ Some typos fixed, etc.
-swig.python-docstring.patch Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
- See SF Patch #883402
- 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
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+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.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+swig.python-2.patch
- And then when generating the
- modulename.py file SWIG will make a
- docstring using the value given.
+ Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG. See the
+ updated docs in the patch for more details.
- 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::
+ %feature("autodoc")
+ %feature("docstring")
+ %feature("pythonprepend")
+ %feature("pythonappend")
- %module(pacakge="wx") _core
+ %module(docstring="string")
+ %module(package="string")
- Multiple %module options can be specfied,
- separated by commmas.

-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.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This patch was applied to SWIG's CVS on 07/12/2004 and is in the
+1.3.22 release.

- 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.)

-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.
