It ports a popular software development tool to Open Solaris. A Minor Release Binding and Volatile Interface Taxonomy is requested. A swig(1) man page is in the case directory. The timer is set for 7 Aug 2008. Gary.. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary ======= The Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator - SWIG - is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of languages including common scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI), Java, Lua, Modula-3, OCAML, Octave and R. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and non-commercial use. SWIG 1.3.35 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part of this proposal, and will be installed as SUNWswig. Dependencies ============ SUNWgccruntime GCC Runtime libraries SUNWlibmsr Math & Microtasking Libraries (Root) Interfaces ========== Stability classification Uncommitted for all exported interfaces. Man pages are included in the case materials directory.

On one of the web instruction pages telling us how to port these packages there is a test script. This test scripts output said that there was a dependency for SUNWgccruntime however I've checked the swig exe and the Makefiles and swig is being built with Sun Studio CC. The test script must be outputting this information for another package within the workspace. Sorry for the confusion I'm still learning the whole process.

There are several open source components out there that seem to make heavy use of GCC extensions or what I more "lovingly" like to think of as gccisms. If we are largely just acting as a conduit for delivering the component, it requires significant patching to build with Studio, and the upstream community isn't interested in taking back the change, Studio for the sake of building with Studio isn't really worth the effort. It means potentially generating new patches for each bug fix or update simply because we like Studio. In the case where using something other than Studio is going to introduce compatibility issues, I would agree, Studio is a requirement. g++ is an example of of a tool with compatibility issues. In the case of SWIG, it appears to already be being built using Studio in the SFW gate for subversion's private use (I won't touch that for now), so there is no reason to use GCC and no reason for the SUNWgccruntime dependency. Worse yet, it would be using g++ and introducing compatibility problems. -Norm Octave Orgeron wrote: > Agreed. All software in the OS should be compiled with Sun Studio.
