Changelog at ​https://github.com/swig/swig/blob/rel-3.0.3/CHANGES.current

[Pierre Labastie]

As I said on the list I'll update this next week. I hope there is no emergency.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Please, accept in your name.

[Pierre Labastie]

Well, I did not want to block somebody who might have wanted to do the update, since I knew I would be out for a few days. taking it now.

Tests are not very good:

• Almost all ruby tests fail with something like:

  /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot 
  load such file -- example (LoadError)
          from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `requ
  ire'
          from runme.rb:3:in `<main>'
  

where the "variable part" is example (before (LoadError)).

• Almost all go tests fail with something like:

  multi_import_a.o: In function `go_multi_import_a.Testz.N29_go_multi_import_a.Swi
  gcptrZZZ':
  /sources/swig/swig-3.0.3/Examples/test-suite/go/multi_import_a.go:55: undefined 
  reference to `go_multi_import_a.SwigCgocall'
  multi_import_a.o: In function `multi_import_a.$nested0':
  /sources/swig/swig-3.0.3/Examples/test-suite/go/multi_import_a.go:66: undefined 
  reference to `go_multi_import_a.SwigCgocall'
  ...  and a lot more ...
  

Other languages are OK.

[Pierre Labastie]

Not all other languages are OK: Almost all Clisp tests fail with somthing like:

make[3]: Entering directory '/sources/swig/swig-3.0.3/Examples/test-suite/clisp'
Don't know how to deal with class kind of class yet.
 (name: A)
../../../Examples/Makefile:1535: recipe for target 'clisp_cpp' failed
make[3]: *** [clisp_cpp] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/sources/swig/swig-3.0.3/Examples/test-suite/clisp'
Makefile:25: recipe for target 'abstract_access.cpptest' failed

Again the "variable part" is A in (name: A)

[Pierre Labastie]

Ruby tests: they pass with the following sed:

sed -i 's@ Config::CONFIG@ RbConfig::CONFIG@' configure

That was not needed with Ruby 2.1.5

[Pierre Labastie]

It looks like the clisp interface is not complete, so that it can only deal with "struct" kind of class, but neither "class" nor "union". In any case, all the failures are in swig, and have nothing to do with the host's clisp. I think I'll just add "--without-clisp" to the configure command.

[Pierre Labastie]

For Go, the tests pass with gccgo-4.8, so the failures might be an indication of changes (bugs?) in gcc rather than in swig. I'll just add a comment about Go tests.

[Pierre Labastie]

Actually, there has been a change in gccgo between 4.9.1 and 4.9.2. The following sed allows the Go tests to pass (it breaks the tests with gcc version prior to 4.9.2:

sed -i 's/"\.")/"_")/' -i Source/Modules/go.cxx

Other fixes are currently applied to the swig source, and 3.0.4 is coming soon. Deferring update of the book.
