[Xapian-discuss] TCL bindings

[Dan Carpenter]

I've been messing with the TCL bindings.  I changed the test code to
use 1.9.2 and I did the --prefix thing.

There is a bug with SWIG 1.3.26.  In the function
SWIG_Tcl_PointerTypeFromString() in swigtcl8.swg it doesn't like
string objects that start with an underscore.  So if you do
`simplesearch.tcl ~/mydb/ _foo` it segfaults.  Upgrading to the CVS
version of SWIG fixes this, but that's probably not necessarily
something for the faint hearted.

regards,
dan carpenter
