Dean Moldovan ab90ec6ce9 Allow references to objects held by smart pointers (#533) 2016-12-07 02:36:44 +01:00
Wenzel Jakob 405f6d1dfd make arithmetic operators of enum_ optional (#508)
Following commit 90d278, the object code generated by the python
bindings of nanogui (github.com/wjakob/nanogui) went up by a whopping
12%. It turns out that that project has quite a few enums where we don't
really care about arithmetic operators.

This commit thus partially reverts the effects of #503 by introducing
an additional attribute py::arithmetic() that must be specified if the
arithmetic operators are desired.

Alexander Stukowski 9a110e6da8 Provide more control over automatic generation of docstrings (#486)
Added the docstring_options class, which gives global control over the generation of docstrings and function signatures.

Dean Moldovan 03f627ebb1 Make reference(_internal) the default return value policy for properties (#473)
* Make reference(_internal) the default return value policy for properties

Before this, all `def_property*` functions used `automatic` as their
default return value policy. This commit makes it so that:

 * Non-static properties use `reference_interal` by default, thus
   matching `def_readonly` and `def_readwrite`.

 * Static properties use `reference` by default, thus matching
   `def_readonly_static` and `def_readwrite_static`.

In case `cpp_function` is passed to any `def_property*`, its policy will
be used instead of any defaults. User-defined arguments in `extras`
still have top priority and will override both the default policies and
the ones from `cpp_function`.

Resolves #436.

* Almost always use return_value_policy::move for rvalues

For functions which return rvalues or rvalue references, the only viable
return value policies are `copy` and `move`. `reference(_internal)` and
`take_ownership` would take the address of a temporary which is always
an error.

This commit prevents possible user errors by overriding the bad rvalue
policies with `move`. Besides `move`, only `copy` is allowed, and only
if it's explicitly selected by the user.

This is also a necessary safety feature to support the new default
return value policies for properties: `reference(_internal)`.

Dean Moldovan 5d28dd1194 Support std::shared_ptr holder type out of the box
With this there is no more need for manual user declarations like
`PYBIND11_DECLARE_HOLDER_TYPE(T, std::shared_ptr<T>)`. Existing ones
will still compile without error -- they will just be ignored silently.

Resolves #446.
