Also port some "glaringly obvious" bugfixes from HEAD. Hope it doesn't cause problems. [SVN r35237]

Even thought Pyste can identify various elements in the C++ code, like virtual
|
|
member functions, attributes, and so on, one thing that it can't do is to
|
|
guess the semantics of functions that return pointers or references. In this
|
|
case, the user must manually specify the policy. Policies are explained in the
|
|
<a href="../../doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/functions.html#python.call_policies">
|
|
tutorial</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The policies in Pyste are named exactly as in <a href="../../index.html">
|
|
Boost.Python</a>, only the syntax is
|
|
slightly different. For instance, this policy:</p>
|
|
<code><pre>
|
|
<span class=identifier>return_internal_reference</span><span class=special><</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>with_custodian_and_ward</span><span class=special><</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=number>2</span><span class=special>> >()
|
|
</span></pre></code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
becomes in Pyste: </p>
|
|
<code><pre>
|
|
<span class=identifier>return_internal_reference</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>with_custodian_and_ward</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=number>2</span><span class=special>))
|
|
</span></pre></code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The user can specify policies for functions and virtual member functions with
|
|
the <tt>set_policy</tt> function:</p>
|
|
<code><pre>
|
|
<span class=identifier>set_policy</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>f</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>return_internal_reference</span><span class=special>())
|
|
</span><span class=identifier>set_policy</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>C</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>foo</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>return_value_policy</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>manage_new_object</span><span class=special>))
|
|
</span></pre></code>

<img src="theme/note.gif"></img> <b>What if a function or member function needs a policy and
|
|
the user doesn't set one?</b><br><br> If a function needs a policy and one
|
|
was not set, Pyste will issue a error. The user should then go in the
|
|
interface file and set the policy for it, otherwise the generated cpp won't
|
|
compile.

Note that for functions that return <tt>const T&</tt>, the policy
|
|
<tt>return_value_policy<copy_const_reference>()</tt> wil be used by default, because

that's normally what you want. You can change it to something else if you need

to, though.
