[William S Fulton]

*** ANNOUNCE: SWIG 3.0.11 (29 Dec 2016) ***

http://www.swig.org

We're pleased to announce SWIG-3.0.11, the latest SWIG release.

What is SWIG?
=============

SWIG is a software development tool that reads C/C++ header files and
generates the wrapper code needed to make C and C++ code accessible
from other programming languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby,
PHP, C#, Go, Java, Javascript, Lua, Scheme (Guile, MzScheme, CHICKEN),
D, Ocaml, Pike, Modula-3, Octave, R, Scilab, Common Lisp (CLISP,
Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI). SWIG can also export its parse tree in
the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions. Major applications of SWIG
include generation of scripting language extension modules, rapid
prototyping, testing, and user interface development for large
C/C++ systems.

Release Notes
=============
Detailed release notes are available with the release and are also
published on the SWIG web site at http://swig.org/release.html.

SWIG-3.0.11 summary:
- PHP 7 support added.
- C++11 alias templates and type aliasing support added.
- Minor fixes and enhancements for C# Go Guile Java Javascript Octave
PHP Python R Ruby Scilab XML.

Availability
============
The release is available for download on Sourceforge at

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swig-3.0.11.tar.gz

A Windows version is also available at

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-3.0.11.zip

Please report problems with this release to the swig-devel mailing list,

I wanted to do official build of swig 3.0.11 for Fedora 25/26.
I ran test builds before it and everything was fine.

When I start official build one guile tests randomly failed on various
architecture.
The error is below. I don't know what could happened.

I disabled the guile for now, to be able to build swig for Fedora.

Do you have any idea what can be wrong?

Thanks,
Jitka

Hi Jitka

There is only one real change in SWIG for Guile that I could find and that
is this patch:

https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/391bb79cbaa914db2dbbe2edec5c2af1d76bed86

Perhaps you can determine whether or not this patch is responsible? I don't
know enough about Guile to know if this might be the culprit. Looks like a
garbage collection issue, but I'm hoping someone with some Guile knowledge
will step in though to provide some better insight. I tried running
valgrind on my box, but it didn't show up anything. Perhaps you can try
this too in a setup that is known to fail:

~/swig/github/swig/Examples/test-suite/guile $ make
reference_global_vars.cpptest RUNTOOL="valgrind
--log-file=/tmp/guile-reference_global_vars.log" CXXFLAGS=-ggdb3

and post the log file if you are not sure what to look for.

Is this a new version of Guile being used or do you think it is solely down
to the new version of SWIG? What architectures does it fail on if I was to
build a virtual machine to debug?
