[Swig-devel] GSoC 2012: OBJC: Weekly Report (May 29-June 04)

[Swati S. <ita...@gm...>]

*This Week*:[Test-suite Makefile,Support of GNUstep on linux and fixed
rough edges]

a.Modified Test-suite Makefile.

For Objective-C there are no cxx files available when a test is run. There
are instead .mm files. And this was causing a problem - the new targets I
added fixes just that.

b.GNUstep fix for Linux.
The fix incorporates the default objective C flags which should be passed
to GNUstep to compile the code. They were missing earlier.For this change
was required in Source/configuration.in file.

c.Changes in Examples./Makefile.in for compiling some broken Examples
SRCS was not getting any value for examples which don't have source file
and compilation stops over there.For this ,I merged two lines of
compilation " one for C/C++  and one for objective C and C++ " .Now the
compilation of Examples don't give an error "No source file".

d.Removed warnings during GNUstep compilation of Examples
Since assignment inside the if() is the exception, GCC issues a warning
about it.To remove this warning i put the extra paranthesis which really
mean assignment.

e Memory Leak analysis
Found Objective-C has ownership and the underlying C/C++ object is
deallocated when the Objective-C object is deallocated (swigCMemOwn is
YES.) If swigCMemOwn is No, C/C++ is ultimately responsible for
deallocating the underlying object's memory.But in Objective C it was set
to "NO" and neither the underlying memory for object was deallocated by
C/C++.Till the time i set swigCMemOwn to "YES",But,this requires proper
fix.This is my next week commitment.
