UserObjectBindings::setUserAny and UserObjectBindings::getUserAny are marked as deprecated in the Ogre.i file

[akacoding]

UserObjectBindings::setUserAny and UserObjectBindings::getUserAny are marked as deprecated in the Ogre.i file but are actually not deprecated if the UserObjectBindings header file is correct.

Furthermore the Any type does not deliver us the possiblities we need, to obtain an untyped object in C# (could be considered as void* in C++).

Do I miss something, or how can we use UserObjectBindings and Any with Swig?

yes, this is wrong. It should only mark Renderable::getUserAny, not UserObjectBindings::getUserAny. I did not bother yet, as Any is not wrapped properly either.

To make Any work, one would need to

• instantiate the templated Any constructor for the types you need
• inject the casts you need into swig - similar to castEntity()

this does not give you a real untyped void*, but could get you somewhere if you use an IntPtr.
