Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Compiling SWIG python bindings with -builtin option

[Daniele Nicolodi]

Hello,

This is to inform you that I'm giving up trying to transition the swig
bindings to generate builtin classes. I may revisit this decision if
I'll get encouraging answers from swig developers on the swig mailing
lists, but I believe this is very unlikely.

While the changes to the interface definition files are nominally
extremely small, I'm hitting bugs in swig that make the exercise
extremely painful and I fear impossible without patching swig itself.
I also fear that no matter what I can do, the binding egenrated are
going to stay sub-optimal due to intrinsic limitations of swig.

I prefer to spent my spare time doing something more rewarding that
fighting an under documented, inconsistent, and buggy system.

Cheers,
Daniele
