I'm having trouble getting the following simple example to work with SWIG 1.3.40 (and I also tried 1.3.31). The Foo structure arises as a Python module, if I do not transfer it to the namespace, but as soon as I do this, I get a compilation error in the generated test_wrap.c .
test.h:
#ifndef __TEST_H__
#define __TEST_H__
#define USE_NS 1
#if USE_NS
namespace ns {
#endif
struct Foo {
float a;
float b;
float func();
};
#if USE_NS
}
#endif
#endif
test.cpp
#include "test.h"
#if USE_NS
namespace ns {
#endif
float Foo::func()
{
return a;
}
#if USE_NS
}
#endif
test.i
%module test
%{
#include "test.h"
%}
%include "test.h"
I run the following commands to build the package in OSX 10.6.3:
swig -python test.i
g++ -c -m64 -fPIC test.cpp
g++ -c -m64 -fPIC -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers test_wrap.c
g++ -o _test.so -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress test_wrap.o test.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lpython2.6
This works, but only if I choose a namespace. Although SWIG handled namespaces automatically in simple cases like this. What am I doing wrong?
This is the error I get - it looks like SWIG refers to the character "ns" and "namespace", which are undefined.
