/* The %implicit macro allows a SwigType (Class) to be accepted as an input parameter and use its implicit constructors when needed. For example: %implicit(A, int, double, B); %inline { struct B { }; struct A { int ii; A(int i) { ii = 1; } A(double d) { ii = 2; } A(const B& b) { ii = 3; } }; int get(A a) { return a.ii; } } Here, you can call 'get' as get(1) ==> get(A(1)) get(2.0) ==> get(A(2.0)) get(B()) ==> get(A(B())) and swig will construct an 'A' temporal variable using the corresponding implicit constructor. The plain implicit macro takes care of simple type list. If it doesn't work because you are passing template types with commas, then use the %implicit_{1,2,3} versions and/or the %arg macro. */ %define %implicit_type(Type...) %traits_swigtype(Type); %enddef %define %implicit_frag(Type...) ,fragment=SWIG_Traits_frag(Type) %enddef %define %implicit_code(Type...) { Type _v; int res = swig::asval(obj, &_v); if (SWIG_IsOK(res)) { if (val) *val = new value_type(static_cast(_v)); return SWIG_AddNewMask(res); } } %enddef /* implicit */ %define %implicit(Type, ...) %formacro_1(%implicit_type,__VA_ARGS__); %fragment(SWIG_Traits_frag(Type),"header", fragment="StdTraits" %formacro_1(%implicit_frag,__VA_ARGS__)) %{ namespace swig { template <> struct traits { typedef pointer_category category; static const char* type_name() { return "Type"; } }; template <> struct traits_asptr< Type > { typedef Type value_type; static int asptr(SWIG_Object obj, value_type **val) { Type *vptr; static swig_type_info* descriptor = SWIG_TypeQuery("Type *"); int res = descriptor ?
