SWIG 4.3.0 version has introduced some incompatibilities and the following one affects WiredTiger compilation.
2024-06-15: vadz
[Python] #2907 Fix returning null from functions with output
parameters. Ensures OUTPUT and INOUT typemaps are handled
consistently wrt return type.
New declaration of SWIG_Python_AppendOutput is now:
SWIG_Python_AppendOutput(PyObject* result, PyObject* obj, int is_void);
The 3rd parameter is new and the new $isvoid special variable
should be passed to it, indicating whether or not the wrapped
function returns void. If SWIG_Python_AppendOutput is currently being
used and a completely backwards compatible (but technically incorrect)
solution is required, then pass 1 for the is_void parameter.
Also consider replacing with:
SWIG_AppendOutput(PyObject* result, PyObject* obj);
which calls SWIG_Python_AppendOutput with same parameters but adding $isvoid
for final parameter.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
As per the suggested solution, replace the calls of SWIG_Python_AppendOutput wit SWIG_AppendOutput to allow WiredTiger to compile with SWIG 4.3.0 version.
