[sword-devel] Sword C# bindings for Windows

[Jon Behrens]

Hi Daniel

It looks like moving the SWDLLEXPORT macro to the other side of the * or **
also works in Linux. The MS C++ compiler throws a syntax error for * 
SWDLLEXPORT
but works fine for SWDLLEXPORT *. The Gnu compiler on Linux takes either 
one. I've
not looked at the language spec to see who's right.

Similarly, MS C++ throws when trying to call ::clearModInfo. It regards 
:: as specifying
the global namespace. Simply renaming the function to clearTheModInfo 
removes the
name conflict with the class method and solves that problem.

In addition to adding

     SWHANDLE SWDLLEXPORT org_crosswire_sword_SWMgr_newWithPath(const char*)

I've also had to program:

     void SWDLLEXPORT org_crosswire_sword_InstallMgr_delete(SWHANDLE 
hInstallMgr)

without it, the unit tests of the InstallMgr all die.

I'm still working through the unit tests. InstallMgr now works, the 
other two still have
some problems.

So, pending any other changes I need to make in flatapi, the same C++ 
code seems to
work on both Windows and Linux. Obviously, the C# code does also.

I've applied for membership in the wiki (didn't realize that that is 
separate from this
list). Once that comes through and I'm clear to post, I'll add the final 
write up.

Be blessed,
Jon
