Hello Rich,
I know what you mean. %inclusion of header files saves a lot of effort! So,
I had another play with the code (what holiday this turned out to be;) and
as long as the declarations in the .i file are made in the right order, it
should be possible to:
* %include the header file
* %ignore a sms_ function
* %rename the function my_ to sms_
* %inline the my_ function
I changed the .i file (attached) and re-ran the test, it works. Again, this
is on my XP/cygwin/mingw32 system, so it could need some tuning on a
different system!
In all this, not sure where is best to put the %exception statement, but
placement shouldn't be critical, because it concerns the my_ function rather
than the original (or renamed) sms_ function.
Regards,
Egor
