-SWIG Features
-
-<h2>SWIG Features</h2>
-
-<p>
-This information is based on the SWIG-1.3.22 release.
-
-<h3>Code Generation</h3>
-
-SWIG current generates wrapper code for thirteen different target languages:
-
-<ul>
-<li>Allegro CL
-<li>C#
-<li>Chicken
-<li>Guile
-<li>Java
-<li>Modula-3
-<li>Mzscheme
-<li>OCAML
-<li>Perl
-<li>PHP
-<li>Python
-<li>Ruby
-<li>Tcl
-</ul>
-
-In addition to this, an XML output module is also available and work
-is in progress on a Pike module.
-
-<h3>ANSI C</h3>
-
-SWIG is capable of wrapping all of ANSI C. Features include:
-
-<ul>
-<li>Handling of <em>all</em> ANSI C datatypes.
-<li>Global functions, global variables, and constants.
-<Li>Structures and unions.
-<li>Pointers.
-<li>Arrays and multidimensional arrays.
-<li>Pointers to functions.
-<li>Variable length arguments.
-<li>Typedef.
-<li>Enums.
-</ul>
-
-<h3>ANSI C++</h3>
-
-SWIG provides wrapping support for almost all of ANSI C++.
-
-<ul>
-<Li>All C++ datatypes.
-<Li>References.
-<li>Pointers to members.
-<li>Classes.
-<li>Inheritance and multiple inheritance.
-<li>Overloaded functions and methods (using dynamic dispatch).
-<li>Overloaded operators.
-<li>Static members.
-<li>Namespaces (including using declarations, aliases, nesting, etc.)
-<li>Templates
-<li>Member templates
-<li>Template specialization and partial specialization.
-<li>Smart pointers
-<li>Library support for strings, STL vectors, and more.
-</ul>
-
-The only major C++ feature not currently supported by SWIG is the
-wrapping of nested classes--a problem we're working on. SWIG also
-does not allow C++ virtual methods to be implemented in certain
-target languages (a subtle feature that might be useful in projects that
-rely heavily on the use of callback functions).
-
-<p>
-C++ users who rely on advanced template programming techniques
-(e.g., template meta-programming) should also be aware that SWIG
-currently requires manual instantiation of all template classes.
-Therefore, if your application somehow involves the instantiation of 50000
-template classes, your mileage might vary.
-
-<h3>Preprocessing</h3>
-
-SWIG provides a full C preprocessor with the following features:
-
-<ul>
-<li>Macro expansion.
-<li>Automatic wrapping of #define statements as constants (when applicable).
-<li>Support for C99 (variadic macro expansion).
-
-</ul>
-
-<h3>Customization features</h3>
-
-SWIG provides control over most aspects of wrapper generation. Most
-of these customization options are fully integrated into the C++ type
-system--making it easy to apply customizations across inheritance
-hierarchies, template instantiations, and more. Features include:
-
-<ul>
-<li>Customizated type conversion/marshaling.
-<Li>Exception handling.
-<li>Class/structure extension.
-<li>Memory management.
-<li>Ambiguity resolution.
-<li>Template instantiation.
-<li>File import and cross-module linking.
-<li>Code inclusion, helper function support.
-<li>Extensive diagnostics (error/warning messages).
-<li>Extended SWIG macro handling.
-</ul>
