Skipping typedef

[Bob Hood]

I'm using SWIG 1.3.36.

I have header that defines only this:

    #ifndef INCLUDE_VERTEX_ARRAY_H
    #define INCLUDE_VERTEX_ARRAY_H

    #include <common/CompactIndexArray.h>
    #include <mesh/mesh_types.h>

    namespace SDK
    {
        typedef CompactIndexArray VertexArray;
    }
    #endif

I am including both the referenced headers (CompactIndexArray.h and
mesh_types.h) in the SWIG interface file for SWIG to parse, but the
typedef is not being created by SWIG.  The id "VertexArray" doesn't
appear in any of the generated files.  "CompactIndexArray" is just a class.

I assumed SWIG processed typedef's, so I'm wondering why this isn't
available?  Can I do some kind of alias in the interface file to make
"CompactIndexArray" visible to the target language as "VertexArray"?

Yes, use %rename. SWIG will understand what VertexArray means, but if the class is declared as CompactIndexArray then that will be the name used in the target language unless you precede the class definition with (I believe)

%rename(VertexArray) SDK::CompactIndexArray;

I thought it would be something fairly obvious, and that I was just
being to dense to see it.

Thanks, David.
