Just an update.
I got RSwig integrated with the test-suite, and after about two weeks of
work, it currently compiles about 85% of the test cases. The test cases
which it doesn't compile seem not to be too difficult to fix. They involve
things like the fact that R doesn't like "in" as a variable name or has
difficulties with functions that start with a _.
I was wondering what remains to be done in order to get R-Swig integrated
with the mainline SWIG tree. The current version in my tree seems to have
all of the features that were in Prof. Temple Lang's version except for the
copy to and from R functionality and that was excluded because it wasn't
obvious how this would work with complex C++ data structures. Also,
assuming that there are not any major design issues, then I think that it
would be useful to have R-Swig available in the SWIG distribution so that
there is a wider audience for big fixing. Assuming that there are no design
issues, I think R-SWIG is also at a point at which what is broken can be
tracked with a bug tracking system.
If I could get a TODO list of the things that need to be done and design
issues that need to be resolved before R-Swig is integrated into the main
source tree, I can start working on those.
