[Swig-user] Mapping C++ namespaces to C# namespaces?

[Marc L. <ml...@py...>]

Hi, new mailing list reader (and new SWIG user) here.

I'm involving in bringing a fairly large C++ codebase to SWIG, primarily
for C# wrapping, and possibly for other languages in the future (maybe
Lua, Ruby, Python, Perl, etc.).

Our C++ code is organized into namespaces about 2 levels deep, something
like this:

=20

company::util

company::moduleA

company::moduleB

and so on.

I'd like that to map to appropriate namespaces on the C# side, so
company::moduleA::classX in C++ maps to company.moduleA.classX proxy in
C# (and the same for the other modules). Is this possible? Is this
advisable?

I'm relatively new to SWIG so apologies if I seem slow or on the wrong
track. I started with an interface file defining two %modules, one for
util, one for moduleA. But they aren't in a module named company. And by
default, the generated wrapping to C# places everything in the global
namespace.

=20

I tried the -namespace option, and I can place all of the generated C#
code into a company namespace. But the sub-namespaces (util, moduleA) do
not appear. Is there a way to nest namespaces in the generated C# proxy
code?

=20

Must I move to some sort of solution which puts a %module in each SWIG
invocation (with a different -namespace command line option), then put
them all together somehow at the end?

=20

If anyone can provide links to examples of this nature, I'm pretty sure
I can follow along. I just haven't seen anything comparable in the
documentation or online searches.

Thanks!
