Thank you, John!
I fixed it by adding the following into base-typemaps.i:
%typemap(in) GList * {
$1 = NULL;
/* Check if is a list */
if (PyList_Check($input)) {
int i;
int size = PyList_Size($input);
for (i = size-1; i >= 0; i--) {
PyObject *o = PyList_GetItem($input, i);
$1 = g_list_prepend($1, o);
}
} else {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "not a list");
return NULL;
}
}
I had overlooked the swig definition in engine.i, where there is a typemap
(in) for GList, but then it is cleared right afterwards...
I am not (yet) very familiar with swig :-)
I have also noticed that CreatePaymentLotSecs does not work out of the box,
as it expects **Transaction while only *Transaction is type mapped.
I will test these changes then I will figure out how to share them with the
developers.
