syntax error in input

[Daniel Shields]

I've just upgraded to swig 1.3.35 from 1.3.31 and my previously working
interface file no longer generates anything. I get a syntax error for a line
that contains no swig directives. I've checked the release notes for deprecated
functions but have drawn a blank. A noddy test case works as expected.

Running in verbose mode does not help. Any suggestions for narrowing the
problem down?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Daniel, I've found the line reporting for errors to be off a few lines
sometimes, especially if macros are involved. Your best bet is to do
some binary debugging, ie keep commenting out more code until you find
the problem area. I don't recall any backwards compatibility breakages,
so let us know what it is.

For now I've reverted back as I'm pushed for time. I will pick through
the file, as you say, steadily commenting out lines. I'll post again
when I find out what the issue is.

Daniel.
