swig -intgosize

[gta]

Hello,

I was trying to use swig at tip and this happened:

cd $HOME/go/misc/swig/callback/

$ go build

# _/Users/giacomo/go/misc/swig/callback

SWIG -go: -intgosize option required but not specified

How can I pass the -intgosize flag? I tried -gcflags and -ccflags, but neither worked.

Or is this a swig issue? 

It sounds like something can go very wrong if I tell swig the wrong length.

My go and swig version:

$ go version

go version devel +437d7aefea45 Mon Feb 04 00:40:11 2013 +0800 darwin/amd64

$ swig -version

SWIG Version 2.0.9

Compiled with g++ [i386-apple-darwin11.4.2]

Configured options: +pcre

Regards.

Giacomo

it should be passed automatically by the go tool, please file an issue.

also note because Go 1.1 will make int 64-bit on 64-bit architectures, we need to

make cmd/go detect whether swig supports the flag, and if not, reject it as it can't

be used. (this latter note is for someone who want to contribute a fix for this issue)

We can just always pass the -intgosize option. If using an old
version of SWIG, SWIG will fail. That is, we don't have to test, all
we have to do, if we want to be nice, is give a better error message
if SWIG outputs "Unrecognized option -intgosize".
