Re: [Swig-user] Wrap subclass separately from superclass

[Peter E. <pea...@st...>]

I finally figured this out.  The real problem, it turned out, is that when you %import a module, it _only_ looks at the contents of the one file you specify.  It does _not_ follow #include or %include commands contained in that file.

That caused everything I tried to fail in one way or another.  When I tried to %import my top level header flle (OpenMM.h), it didn't find the parent class because it didn't follow the #include in that file to import Force.h.  When I only imported Force.h it still didn't work because the class declaration began

class OPENMM_EXPORT Force {

and OPENMM_EXPORT was #defined in a separate header file that it didn't look at.  And when I tried to import my SWIG module (OpenMM.i), that still didn't work because the module definition was split between that file and several others that were %included in it.

The only way to make this work, it appears, is to have your _entire_ module definition in just one single file.
