When trying to compile gnuradio with swig-3.0.3 I get the following error:

py_compile.PyCompileError:   File "/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/gnuradio-3.7.5.1/work/gnuradio-3.7.5.1_build/gr-blocks/swig/blocks_swig1.py", line 982
    def make(data, repeat=False, vlen=1, tags):
SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

swig-3.0.2 works fine

Reproducible: Always

also affects =net-wireless/gnuradio-3.7.6
maybe mask =dev-lang/swig-3.0.3?

[Comment 2 Ludovic Bellier 2015-01-10 16:40:42 UTC]

maybe link to the gdal pb with swig: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534168

isn't it?

[Comment 3 RB 2015-01-12 20:50:21 UTC]

I can confirm that net-wireless/gnuradio 3.7.5.x and net-wireless/gnuradio-3.7.6 both fail to build with dev-lang/swig-3.0.3.  Backleveling swig allowed 3.7.6 to build.

Please, always provide a build.log and emerge --info output when you open a bug.

[Comment 5 Ștefan Talpalaru 2015-02-22 03:01:04 UTC]

All the needed info was provided. Luckily, upstream solved the problem with swig-3.0.5.

[Comment 6 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) 2015-02-22 03:16:35 UTC]

Looks like this is a known issue in swig that was fixed in 3.0.4 and 3.0.5.

Swig maintainers, can we mask the known broken 3.0.3 version of swig and get it removed from the tree?

[Comment 7 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) 2015-04-01 02:08:48 UTC]

I have removed the known bad version from the tree.
