Using SWIG with methods that take std::string as a parameter

Question

I used SWIG to wrap my c++ class. Some methods have a const std::string& as a parameter. SWIG creates a type called SWIGTYPE_p_std__string however

Answer 1

I was trying to solve this myself when I found your question.

You need to include

%include "std_string.i" 

in your .i file. See:

• STL/C++ library

  for more details.
