Yeah, I should have mentioned that I did not have this problem with
1.3.21. I moved to the CVS version so I could get directors with throw
specifiers, which worked, but then this cropped up.

Subject: [Swig] bug while wrapping const char arrays without an
explicitly defined size
Oren Miller writes:
Using the latest CVS version:
If I have a char array defined like this:
const char BeginString_FIX44[8] = "FIX.4.4";
The wrapper for this is generated correctly like so:
static PyObject *_wrap_BeginString_FIX44_get() {
PyObject *pyobj;
pyobj = SWIG_FromCharArray(FIX::BeginString_FIX44, 8);
return pyobj;
}
However, if it is defined like so:
const char BeginString_FIX44[] = "FIX.4.4";
This gets generated:
static PyObject *_wrap_BeginString_FIX44_get() {
PyObject *pyobj;
pyobj = SWIG_FromCharArray(FIX::BeginString_FIX44, );
return pyobj;
}
As you can see the size is missing which of course results in
compilation errors. It would seem to me in this case Swig
should count
up the characters in the string and place the value as the second
parameter to FromCharArray. I'd be happy to try to create
a patch but
am not familiar with the source and would need someone to
point me to
the module where this generation occurs. Thanks.
Where is SWIG_FromCharArray() coming from? I don't remember that
function being part of the SWIG API (I sure didn't write it anyways).
SWIG developers: Is there some reason the normal PyObject API
functions are not being used here???
Not sure, but I checked SWIG-1.3.21 and it works. PyString_FromString
is used. We ought to add this to one of the testcases in any case.
