[Swig-user] Linking multiple _wrap.o files for Python module

[John P. <joh...@st...>]

Hi all

Does anyone know of a project that uses SWIG to builds multiple .i files
into multiple _wrap.cc files that then links together _wrap.o object
files to create a single Python module?

My current API is getting large and compiling my _wrap.cc file needs
more RAM than I have. I haven't been able to work out how to link
together mulitple _wrap.o files -- so was hoping that someone might know
of a FOSS project with some relevant example code?

William Fulton previously suggested that I look at the %import macro. I
had already used that but I am not clear on whether my .i files should
*all* contain a '%module' declaration, or only one of them. Am I
building one module, or many, if I use this multiple _wrap.o file
approach? This use case doesn't appear to be documented (but please
correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Cheers
JP
