Special Japan Edition

I'm writing from Kawaguchiko, at the base of Mt. Fuji. Work officially demanded my attention today...with a vengence.

What I've been trying to do with SWIG might be outright impossible. It has severe problems when trying to inherit from a standard, templatable object.

Unlike other SWIG directives which should be defined prior to reading in aheader file, you need to put %template after the *template* class isdeclared but *before* that template class used. Which creates a problem ifthe template class is created in the same header file where it is used (andyou don't own the header file). I have submitted a bug/enhancement requeston this:

This is still a big issue for me given that I'm wrapping a few thousandclasses of which a number of them have this problem. I think thatultimately I'll need to familiarize myself with the SWIG source code and fixthis myself (unless other SWIG developer with free time wants to pick thisup :)).

Thanks,

The workaround might be making my own vector .i file. This is not exactly pleasing, but it seems it might be the only way to do this.

Otherwise, just spent a few hours ironing out the wrinkles in NumCalc. Managed to get some more .i files to compile with SWIG. But the big problem is still ParameterList, which a ton of things use, and which inherits from vector. This is not going to be pretty.
