Re: What do the Swigtype classes do in the WPI, I have looked at the documentation
I just dove into the source and the header for all the files named SWIGTYPE_* is:
Code:
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * This file was automatically generated by SWIG (http://www.swig.org).
 * Version 2.0.11
 *
 * Do not make changes to this file unless you know what you are doing--modify
 * the SWIG interface file instead.
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
Not sure what they are for but they are definitely associated with http://www.swig.org. The uses also seem very strange. Brad Miller will probably have a better explanation

UPDATE:
"SWIG is an interface compiler that connects programs written in C and C++ with scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Ruby, and Tcl." Maybe it has to do with the cross-compilation of wpilib?????
