@ -372,3 +372,33 @@ name, i.e. by specifying ``py::arg().noconvert()``.
enable no-convert behaviour for just one of several arguments, you will
need to specify a ``py::arg()`` annotation for each argument with the
no-convert argument modified to ``py::arg().noconvert()``.
Overload resolution order
=========================
When a function or method with multiple overloads is called from Python,
pybind11 determines which overload to call in two passes. The first pass
attempts to call each overload without allowing argument conversion (as if
every argument had been specified as ``py::arg().noconvert()`` as decribed
above).
If no overload succeeds in the no-conversion first pass, a second pass is
attempted in which argument conversion is allowed (except where prohibited via
an explicit ``py::arg().noconvert()`` attribute in the function definition).
If the second pass also fails a ``TypeError`` is raised.
Within each pass, overloads are tried in the order they were registered with
pybind11.
What this means in practice is that pybind11 will prefer any overload that does
not require conversion of arguments to an overload that does, but otherwise prefers
earlier-defined overloads to later-defined ones.
.. note::
pybind11 does *not* further prioritize based on the number/pattern of
overloaded arguments. That is, pybind11 does not prioritize a function
requiring one conversion over one requiring three, but only prioritizes
overloads requiring no conversion at all to overloads that require
conversion of at least one argument.
