[Swig-devel] -external-runtime and %runtime

[Charlie S. <cf...@in...>]

I wanted to bring up bug 1391040 again.

In Ruby, the -external-runtime command only outputs the file 
rubyrun.swg.   However, if you look at rubyruntime.swg, you see that the 
runtime is actually made up of four files:

%runtime "swigrun.swg"       /* Common C API type-checking code */
%runtime "rubytracking.swg"  /* API for tracking C++ classes to Ruby 
objects */
%runtime "rubyrun.swg"
%runtime "rubyapi.swg"

These directives work correctly for generating wrapper files, but not 
for the -external-runtime option.

I can fix up the Ruby module for this specific case, but I'm wondering 
if a more general solution might be better.  Do other languages have 
this issue?

Thanks,

Charlie
