<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p><code><a href="#make_function-spec">make_function</a>()</code> and
<code><a href="#make_constructor-spec">make_constructor</a>()</code> are
the functions used internally by <code>class_&lt;&gt;::<a href=
"class.html#class_-spec-modifiers">def</a></code>, <code>class_&lt;&gt;::<a
href="module.html#module-spec-modifiers">def</a></code>, and
<code>class_&lt;&gt;::<a href=
"class.html#class_-spec-modifiers">def_init</a></code> to produce Python
callable objects which wrap C++ functions and member functions.
<h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
<pre>
<a name="make_function-spec">template &lt;class F&gt;</a>
objects::function* make_function(F f)&lt;/a&gt;
template &lt;class F, class Policies&gt;
objects::function* make_function(F f, Policies const&amp; policies)
</pre>
<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Requires:</b> <code>F</code> is a function pointer or member
function pointer type
<dt><b>Effects:</b> Creates a Python callable object which, when called
from Python, converts its arguments to C++ and calls <code>f</code>. If
<code>F</code> is a pointer-to-member-function type, the target object of
the function call (<code>*this</code>) will be taken from the first
Python argument, and subsequent Python arguments will be used as the
arguments to <code>f</code>. If <code>policies</code> are supplied, it
must be a model of <a href="CallPolicies.html">CallPolicies</a>, and will
be applied to the function as described <a href=
"CallPolicies.html">here</a>.
<dt><b>Returns:</b> A pointer convertible to <code>PyObject*</code> which
refers to the new Python callable object.
</dl>
<pre>
<a name=
"make_constructor-spec">template &lt;class T, class ArgList, class Generator&gt;
objects::function* make_constructor();</a>
</pre>
<dl class="make_constructor-semantics">
<dt><b>Requires:</b> <code>T</code> is a class type. <code>ArgList</code>
is an <a href="../../../mpl/doc/Sequences.html">MPL sequence</a> of C++
argument types (<i>A1, A2,... AN</i>) such that if
<code>a1, a2</code>... <code>aN</code> are objects of type
<i>A1, A2,... AN</i> respectively, the expression <code>new
Generator::apply&lt;T&gt;::type(a1, a2</code>... <code>aN</code>) is
valid. Generator is a model of <a href=
"HolderGenerator.html">HolderGenerator</a>.
<dt><b>Effects:</b> Creates a Python callable object which, when called
from Python, expects its first argument to be a Boost.Python extension
class object. It converts its remaining its arguments to C++ and passes
them to the constructor of a dynamically-allocated
<code>Generator::apply&lt;T&gt;::type</code> object. The result is
installed in the extension class object.
<dt><b>Returns:</b> The new Python callable object
</dl>
<h2><a name="examples"></a>Example</h2>
<p>C++ function exposed below returns a callable object wrapping one of two
functions.
<pre>
#include &lt;boost/python/make_function.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;boost/python/module.hpp&gt;
char const* foo() { return "foo"; }
char const* bar() { return "bar"; }
PyObject* choose_function(bool selector)
{
if (selector)
return boost::python::make_function(foo);
else
return boost::python::make_function(bar);
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE_INIT(make_function_test)
{
module("make_function_test")
.def("choose_function", choose_function);
}
</pre>
It can be used this way in Python:
<pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; from make_function_test import *
&gt;&gt;&gt; f = choose_function(1)
&gt;&gt;&gt; g = choose_function(0)
&gt;&gt;&gt; f()
'foo'
&gt;&gt;&gt; g()
'bar'
</pre>
