[Swig-user] Error in generated python wrapper code for static template member function

[Naveen K. <nav...@gm...>]

Hi

   I'm facing compilation errors in the generated code when trying to wrap
in python a class with static template member function. I have tried with
the 1.3.36 release and the current SVN version. G++ version is 4.2.3.

   I have created a simple test case to reproduce the error

--- c++ code ---

template<class T>
class Foo
{
public:
   template<class T1>
   static T bar(T1 arg1)
   {
      return arg1;
   }
};

--- swig template instantiation ---

%extend Foo
{
   %template(bar) bar<int>;
}

%template(Foo_int) Foo<int>;

the generated code contains the following function

SWIGINTERN int Foo_Sl_int_Sg__bar<(int)>(int arg1){
      return arg1;
   }

however the correctly working code seems to be

SWIGINTERN int Foo_Sl_int_Sg__bar<(int)>(int arg1){
      return arg1;
   }

and the above function is called from the function _wrap_Foo_int_bar inside
which the line
  result = (int)Foo_Sl_int_Sg__bar< int >(arg1);
needs to be replaced with
  result = (int)Foo_Sl_int_Sg__bar(arg1);

   The problem also occurs when the template function instantiation is
overloaded. I haven't checked if the problem occurs in other target
languages. I have tried to located the SWIG code which generates the above,
but no luck. I would appreciate any help in fixing the problem.

   Thanks in advance
