[Swig-user] overloading with std::vector argument

[Fred R. <ric...@co...>]

When I try to convert the following C++ to Python (with SWIG 1.3.24  
on MacOS...or 1.3.26 on WinXP Pro, for that matter):

--------
%module test
%{
#include <vector>
%}

%inline %{
struct Foo { };
struct Bar { };
%}

%include "std_vector.i"
/* Put these after the definition of Test class and there is no  
shadowing. */
%template(vector_Foo)   std::vector<Foo>;
%template(vector_Bar)   std::vector<Bar>;

%inline %{
struct Test {
     void method(const std::vector<Foo>& f) { (void )f; }
     void method(const std::vector<Bar>& b) { (void )b; }
};
%}
--------

I get the following error:

test.i:19: Warning(509): Overloaded method(std::vector<Bar > const &)  
is shadowed by method(std::vector<Foo > const &) at test.i:18.

However, if I move the two %template lines after the definition of  
Test then SWIG has no problem wrapping both Test::method() overrides.

I can also leave the %template lines where they are and remove the  
const qualifier from the vector arguments and then SWIG will  
successfully wrap both methods, too.

Am I not using the %template directive correctly, or am I simply  
pushing to hard with my function/method overloading?  The fact that  
taking the const qualifiers out helps SWIG to work makes me suspect  
that this is a parsing error.  But removing the const qualifiers from  
my C++ code isn't really an option for me; I'm happy to change the  
placement of %template directives, but I'd like to understand where  
the proper place is.  Guidelines?
