From 88abdc0fad3f7670a112ade487c1a8cb848d56bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Hansson Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:26:58 -0500 Subject: SWIG: Ensure ptrdiff_t is a known type in gcc >= 4.6.1 This patch fixes a compilation error that occurs with gcc >= 4.6.1, caused by swig not including cstddef and not using the std:: namespace prefix for ptrdiff_t. There is an old patch, http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/913/ that no longer applies cleanly and this might be re-iterating the same issue. We work around the problem by always enforcing the inclusion of cstddef in all swig interface declarations, and also by explicitly using std::ptrdiff_t. --- src/python/m5/SimObject.py | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/python/m5') diff --git a/src/python/m5/SimObject.py b/src/python/m5/SimObject.py index a2de7a086..9c6a32f41 100644 --- a/src/python/m5/SimObject.py +++ b/src/python/m5/SimObject.py @@ -408,6 +408,19 @@ class MetaSimObject(type): for param in params: param.cxx_predecls(code) cls.export_method_cxx_predecls(code) + code('''\ +/** + * This is a workaround for bug in swig.
