Hey all,

So, because I didn't actually have pressing things to do today, I added PHP support to the NDB/Connectors. It's a little basic at this point, as SWIG is segfaulting when it tries to generate the PHP classes themselves. But it is able to do the C-wrappers it needs to do, so even if it stays that way, it's just a matter or writing PHP class wrappers to call the library functions. Piece of cake, right? I've also submitted some bugs to the SWIG folks, so hopefully we'll give them a decent test case to work against.

I also did some work on the Java code as a first step in looking at integrating the other NDB/J code. I've put the Java classes in a package structure similar to the structure I put the python classes in. (The same, except python doesn't want everything to live below a top-level "com" - so com.mysql.cluster.ndbapi) I also upgraded the build system in the java tree to use Automake/Libtool and to have a few more autoconf macros for testing stuff. Make in the Java tree will now build the .so and will make a jar file in the com/mysql/cluster/ndbapi dir. Make test.class works. I have not yet ported the test cases in the test dir. So ignore those for now.

I also discovered that there is a gcj target for swig that generates gni code for gcj, which then compiles down to normal binaries. I haven't played with it yet, and probably won't for a little while, but there could be something interesting there.

So the only languages that matter that we're missing now are Lisp, Lua, OCaml, Smalltalk, Scheme and Haskell -- and I think I can sleep ok at night if it takes a little while to add those. :) I haven't been giving much love to the C# code - Java, Python and Perl have many more features at this point than C#, so I guess I need to bring it back in line. But, I think before I do that I'm going to finish getting SQLAlchemy finished enough to do my talk on if for the UC. Oy. Guess I should have done that today.
