SWIG

Does anyone use SWIG?????

I'm having trouble patching it to allow me to compile wrappers in Borland
C++ Builder because Borland will insist on adding underscores to symbols.
Turn this off and it won't link the Python library.

The answer is to declare init_function and any other exported functions as
__stdcall. Easy enough to patch the SWIG file for the init_function but I
can't for the life of me see how to automate this process for other exports.
Any ideas??

Yes, thousands.

You need to ensure that the calling convention in the headers seen by
the compiler are consistent. (It is unclear from your description where
the mismatch is happening - in the wrapper functions generated by Swig
or the calls to your existing code that is being wrapped)

Swig does handle Borland C for marking the wrapping functions for dll export.

I actually use MinGW and everything works perfectly for C and C++ code,
even for C code where the dll was compiled with MSVC and I don't have
the source.

(I also use Swig on Linux and Mac but that is incidental).

Hi, I'm using Python in my win32 app by linking to the python23.dll. I'm trying to expose some c++ code in my app to Python so I can make application calls from Python scripts (according to the Python windows FAQ I shouldn't have to make a seperate dll, see link below). I create a MyModule.i file for swig which contains a simple test c++ class. I run swig on it with the following options: swig -python -c++ -includeall -shadow MyModule.i,...

Could anyone post a simple setup.py script that uses a SWIG interface to C++ code and the mingw compiler? I followed some online samples, and am using the setup.cfg file to specify swig-c++=1. Trying to build using mingw out of the cygwin environment but the final call to link the extension calls directly to 'cc' which I think should really be g++ at that point.

Hi, I´m looking for some benchmarks comparing SWIG generated modules with modules made directly with C/Python API. Just how much overhead does SWIG give? Doing profile of my code I see, that it spends quiet some time in functions like _swig_setattr_nondinamic, _swig_setattr, _swig_getattr.

Hello, I spent the morning figuring out how to use SWIG on Microsoft Windows. I compiled the example from the SWIG tutorial on http://www.swig.org. The biggest stumbling block was not knowing that I needed to rename the DLL created to have a PYD extension. I also ended up writing a .def file for exporting functions from the DLL. Here is my SConstruct file for using SCons to build the library. It is not perfect, but it should be...
