The point at which the type is used (when the out typemap is needed) is 
missing the full type information. Unlike a C++ compiler which will 
complain violently if any type information is missing, SWIG will carry 
on as it can usually generate code that will compile in such cases, but 
often the code won't be that usable. As you are using std::vector, you 
are likely to be missing a %template directive which instantiates the 
vector so that the value_type is then added to the type system.
