Package: swig
Version: 1.3.22-5
When generating for python, the wrapper for a method which returns a
const C++ object by value creates a SwigValueWrapper templatized on
the const return type. However, later in the method it casts the
SwigValueWrapper to the return type minus the const qualifier; without
the const, the cast operator isn't used, and instead things just break
(typically with a segfault.) More detail on this bug, including
example code, is available here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=1645atid=101645func=detailaid=899332
A patch that fixes it is here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=301645aid=903150group_id=1645
For me, either catching up with the upstream release or applying this
patch and reving the Debian version would really improve things.
Thanks for your time,
Jeremy Brown
