[Swig-devel] Recent chicken breakage

[John L. <le...@cs...>]

Some recent change on the naming of the get/set member variable names
broke chicken... Lib/chicken/std_string.i looks like

    class string {
      public:
	~string() {}
    };
    %extend string {
      char *str;
    }
    %{
      #define std_string_str_get(s) ((char *)((s)->c_str()))
      #define std_string_str_set(s,v) (s->assign((char *)(v)))
    %}

The problem is the extended char *str... before, the functions looked like
std_string_str_get() and std_string_str_set()... but now the function is
being exported as stdstring_str_get__ and stdstring_str_set__.  Since
chicken is exporting these names directly, the li_std_string_runme.scm
test is failing because it is expecting a function called
std-string-str-get.

That std_string.i file was copied from guile, so I assume guile will also
have this problem.  Is this just an incompatible change, and I should mark
it in CHANGES.current and update the li_std_string.scm file to test it
correctly?
