PHP argout question, std_string.i improvements

Hi all,

I have a C++ function that directly returns a bool, but also returns a
string using the OUTPUT/argout machinery:

    %apply std::string* OUTPUT { std::string* output_value };

    class Attributes
    {
     public:
      bool			FindValue(const std::string& key,
				      std::string* output_value) const;
		...

This doesn't work, because the std_string.i interface file (in the
Lib/php directory of the SWIG distribution) appears to lack typemaps
for argout, etc.  I've enhanced this file and have included it below.
I'd appreciate any feedback on this.  Does anyone see any errors?

While this generates C++ code that compiles, the interface doesn't
work.  I believe this is because an array isn't generated for the
FindValue() function (which now returns multiple values).

>From looking at the Source/Modules/php.cxx file, I don't see any
support for handling multiple return values.  Presuming my analysis is
correct, I'd like to start adding support for this.

I do have a question: what's the simplest way to determine how many
values are returned by a function?  Is there an attribute that can be

[This is my first bug report, so please let me know if I need to provide further clarification or additional information.]

My problem is very similar to this long-closed bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=782778&group_id=1645&atid=101645

I have a Lua module that I've created with a very large number of C++ classes. Some of the classes are declared
within a namespace, like so:

namespace NS1 {
  class myClass {
      public:
        NS2::someDataType memberField;

I have the following problem with building a Python interface to overloaded functions in C++.

The easiest is to explain with an example. Say I have these two functions:
-----------------------------------------------------------
void fun(int i) {
    cout << "fun(int " << i << ")" << endl;
}
void fun(bool b) {
    cout << "fun(bool " << b << ")" << endl;
}

Second week report

Hi,

This week:

I passed all except one of my exams (I'll hopefully pass the last one
next week), and I *think* I now mostly understand how the Python module
and it directors (Source/Modules/python.cxx, Lib/python/) work.

Next week:

According to the milestone list from my proposal, the next step is to
read the PHP module source as well as the relevant part of the Zend API
documentation (zend_call_function() and friends).

Hopefully that'll be the last week when I just read source code /
documentation, then I can continue with writing testcases!
