[Swig-user] Qt 5 typemaps for SWIG

[Scott D. <sco...@gm...>]

I recently asked Qt support about a set of typemaps for Qt 5 for SWIG. Here
is the response:

I am afraid there is nothing much we can do about it, Swig is not our

When people ask about wrapping Qt in SWIG, the usual answers are either
"use SIP/PySide/... instead" or "it can't be too different from std...".
The first is not a bad answer for Python, but for developers who want to
generate bindings for something else, there doesn't appear to be an answer.
The SWIG documentation even mentions an old version of Qt support in the
OCaml section (31.2.4.2 in the 3.0 manual). Any chance that somebody with
some serious typemap chops would be willing to take a crack at it?
