Fix for assigning to non-existent variables (#1708) #1718

Closed keithvetter closed 2 months ago

keithvetter commented 4 months ago

This fix modifies Trick's convert_swig script. It adds a directive to not accept dynamic attributes. The directive will ensure that modelers do not assign to non-existent parameter in their input files.

The prior fix (issues #1288 and/or #1603) did not cover C structures, so this commit is really an addendum to that fix. With this commit, the convert_swig script will generate a non-dynamic directive foreach class and structure.

This fix also stops generating swig interface code for typedef structure definitions since swig only produces an interface to the actual typedef name. For example, with this typedef:

typedef struct StructureName { double main_engine_thrust; / N Thrust of main engine / struct StructureName next; / * Next pointer / } TypeDefName;

swig creates an interface for "TypeDefName", and not "StructureName", so there is no need for Trick to produce anything in regards "StructureName".
