structmember.h inclusion moved for external runtime to work without
requiring users to include structmember.h and the Py_READONLY and
Py_ST_PYSSIZE_T definitions. Including Python.h remains the requirement
for using the external runtime (Examples/python/external_runtime).
Note that stddef.h is not always included by structmember.h
Rename dict to swigdict in PySwigObject for easier identification.
SWIG_HEAPTYPES definition is moved to support both external runtime
and Python Stable ABI.
Rename to use naming conventions used in the Python C code base and
typically used in extensions when creating types:
SwigPyObject_type -> SwigPyObject_Type
SwigPyPacked_type -> SwigPyPacked_Type
swig_varlink_type -> SwigVarLink_Type
to also match other type creating functions SwigPyObjectType_Type
and SwigPyStaticVar_Type.
Add SwigVarLink singleton creation to init function for thread safety.
for default case (they have just been added for -builtin and
SWIG_HEAPTYPES in previous couple of commits).
These are only used by -builtin and were missed when when moving
SwigPyObject, SwigPyPacked and SwigVarLink were added to the swig
runtime module. Should fix potential warnings for these two types:
DeprecationWarning: builtin type has no __module__ attribute
although this has not been seen in the test-suite.
The SWIG_PyInstanceMethod_New method is no longer added to wrapped
classes except when it's actually needed, which is when
(!builtin && fastproxy) is true (which it isn't by default).
The SWIG_PyStaticMethod_New method is no longer is now similarly
gated - previously only (fastproxy) was checked.
Finally the C/C++ functions that implement these were always compiled
into the module, but now they're only included if
(!builtin && fastproxy) is true.
Issue noted by vadz in #2190.
Fix access to C++ static member functions using Python class
staticmethod syntax, such as Klass.memberfunction instead of
Klass_memberfunction, when using -fastproxy and -builtin in
combination with %callback.
The docstring containing the callback pointers were not being patched
during module initialisation.
Fixes#2101. There are 3 related changes made here:
1. Move the SWIG_globals() singleton into pyrun from pyint so it
is visible to SWIG_Python_DestroyModule(). The static globals
varlink has been extracted out of the function so that it can
be set to NULL in SWIG_Python_DestroyModule(), which fixes the
issue described in #2101. (Now when the second interpreter
starts up, the Swig_Globals_global pointer will be NULL, so it
knows it has to create a new one.)
2. Remove a Py_DECREF on the globals varlink. The decrement is now
performed by DestroyModule(), so there's no need to do it in
SWIG_init().
3. Fixed similar issue with SWIG_Python_TypeCache().
Python fixed many APIs to use const char * instead of char * at around
Python 2.4. As we support 2.7 and later, we can now remove the non-const
string usage.
Types changed:
PyArg_ParseTuple
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords
PyArg_UnpackTuple
PyDict_SetItemString
PyMethodDef
PyModuleDef
SWIG_Python_UnpackTuple
SWIG_Python_str_FromChar
SWIG_addvarlink
swig_const_info
A custom implementation for Py_None was implemented in SWIG_Py_None().
This was used by default on Windows only. It isn't clear why this
was done just for Windows. Now Py_None is the real Py_None on all
operating systems.
I've moved the initialization of statics a little earlier on - a little
safer as it is hard to follow exactly when some of these were being
used, such as SWIG_Py_None which sometimes replaces Py_None.
Avoid casts between incompatible function types where possible (when
keyword args are in use, it is not possible to avoid such warnings as
they are inherent in the design of Python's C API in that particular
case). Fixes#1259.
Fix Coverity issue reported for SWIG_Python_FixMethods:
"buffer_size: Calling strncpy with a source string whose length
(10 chars) is greater than or equal to the size argument (10)
will fail to null-terminate buff."
The issue is only reported for the "swig_ptr: " line, but for
consistency we replace both occurrences of strncpy with memcpy.
The metaclass (SwigPyObjectType) for SWIG objects was not defined in
a way that let importlib successfully import the Python wrappers.
The pickle module failed because it couldn't determine what module the
SWIG wrapped objects are in.
I've changed the definition of SwigPyObjectType using more normal
builtin type definitions. There are still some open questions:
- None of the builtin types, like swig_static_var_getset_descriptor and
SwigPyObject are added into any module. No call to PyModule_AddObject
is made, so isinstance cannot be used for any wrapped type, all of
which are derived from SwigPyObject.
Closes#808
