[Swig-devel] Possible regression: methods using ignored enums not ignored any more

[Vadim Z. <vz...@ze...>]

 Hello,

 Since the commit cd2085a ("Fixes for C enums used in an API and the
definition of the enum has not been parsed."), methods using ignored enums
as parameters are not automatically ignored any more, but exported to the
target language where they promptly fail to compile.

 I should be able to produce an example reproducing this if necessary but
before spending time on this I'd like to ask if this could have been
intentional by chance? I don't think it's a good idea but I could be
missing something and my point of view could be influenced by just wasting
half an hour on trying to understand why does the latest version of SWIG
refuse to work with my code... Still, even taking this into account, I
don't really see the point of exporting a method that can't be used nor
even compiled. Perhaps a SWIG error should be raised instead?

 Thanks,
VZ
