[Gdal-dev] SWIG Unified Type Maps

[Charlie Savage]

Just a heads up - the upcoming SWIG 1.3.28 release (no date set yet, but 
I think sometime soon) has unified the typemaps used by Perl, Ruby, 
Python and TCL.  What that means for GDAL is that we could probably take 
the separate typemap files we have for those four languages at combine 
them together at some point in the future, resulting in less code to 
maintain.  There is one caveat though, which is all the basic types are 
unified but I don't think Arrays are yet.  Since there is a fair bit of 
use of Arrays in GDAL, we would have to work around that (which 
shouldn't be too hard really).

Thanks,

Charlie
