If the default argument value is a class, and not an instance of a
class, `a.value.attr("__repr__")` raises a `ValueError`. Switching to
`repr(a.value)` makes this use case work.

The PyEval_InitThreads() and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() functions are
now deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.11. Calling
PyEval_InitThreads() now does nothing. The GIL is initialized by
Py_Initialize() since Python 3.7.
For rationale, see #2241, eeb1044818af5b70761deae602c49eba439164dc;
there is a second entry point function defined by the PYBIND11_MODULE
macro that also needs to be annotated as unused.
This change defines a new, portable macro PYBIND11_MAYBE_UNUSED to
mark declarations as unused, and annotates the PYBIND11_MODULE entry
point with this attribute.
The purpose of this annotation is to facilitate dead code detection,
which might otherwise consider the module entry point function dead,
since it isn't otherwise used. (It is only used via FFI.)
This adds support for a `py::args_kw_only()` annotation that can be
specified between `py::arg` annotations to indicate that any following
arguments are keyword-only. This allows you to write:
m.def("f", [](int a, int b) { /* ... */ },
py::arg("a"), py::args_kw_only(), py::arg("b"));
and have it work like Python 3's:
def f(a, *, b):
# ...
with respect to how `a` and `b` arguments are accepted (that is, `a` can
be positional or by keyword; `b` can only be specified by keyword).
Currently user specializations of the form
template <typename itype> struct polymorphic_type_hook<itype, std::enable_if_t<...>> { ... };
will fail if itype is also polymorphic, because the existing specialization will also
be enabled, which leads to 2 equally viable candidates. With this change, user provided
specializations have higher priority than the built in specialization for polymorphic types.
When binding code immediately throws an exception of type
py::error_already_set (e.g. via py::module::import that fails), the
catch block sets an import error as expected. Unfortunately, following
this, the deconstructor of py::error_already_set decides to call
py::detail::get_internals() and set up various internal data structures
of pybind11, which fails given that the error flag is active. The call
stack of this looks as follows:
Py_init_mymodule() -> __cxa_decrement_exception_refcount ->
error_already_set::~error_already_set() ->
gil_scoped_acquire::gil_scoped_acquire() -> detail::get_internals() ->
... -> pybind11::detail::simple_collector() -> uh oh..
The solution is simple: we call detail::get_internals() once before
running any binding code to make sure that the internal data structures
are ready.
This commit introduces the use of C++17-style fold expressions when
casting tuples & the argument lists of functions.
This change can improve performance of the resulting bindings: because
fold expressions have short-circuiting semantics, pybind11 e.g. won't
try to cast the second argument of a function if the first one failed.
This is particularly effective when working with functions that have
many overloads with long argument lists.
* test pair-copyability on C++17 upwards
The stdlib falsely detects containers like M=std::map<T, U>
as copyable, even when one of T and U is not copyable.
Therefore we cannot rely on the stdlib dismissing std::pair<T, M>
by itself, even on C++17.
* fix is_copy_assignable
bind_map used std::is_copy_assignable which suffers from the same problems
as std::is_copy_constructible, therefore the same fix has been applied.
* created tests for copyability
Don't assume that just because the language version is C++17 that the
standard library offers all C++17 features, too. When using clang-6.0
and --std=c++17 on Ubuntu 18.04 with libstdc++, __cpp_sized_deallocation
is false.
When building with `-Werror,-Wmissing-prototypes`, `clang` complains about missing prototypes for functions defined through macro expansions. This PR adds the missing prototypes.

The -Wmissing-prototypes Clang warning (or -Wmissing-declarations on
GCC) is very useful to avoid accidents where a function definition in a
source file doesn't match the corresponding declaration in a header
file, as it would warn already during compilation and not much later
during link time.
Unfortunately this means that exported functions defined only in the
source file (usually the ones annotated with `extern "C"`) will cause
this warning to be emitted too (on Clang, GCC has a slightly different
behavior with -Wmissing-declarations and doesn't warn here). This fixes
the warning by providing a declaration right before the definition.
Clang has a bug [1] in x86 Windows that is exposed by the use of lambdas with "unforwardable" prototypes. The error is "error: cannot compile this forwarded non-trivially copyable parameter yet", and the message was introduced in [2] (used to be an assertion).

In def_readonly and def_readwrite, there is an assertion that the member comes
from the class or a base class:
static_assert(std::is_base_of<C, type>::value, "...");
However, if C and type are the same type, is_base_of will still only be true
if they are the same _non-union_ type. This means we can't define accessors
for the members of a union type because of this assertion.
Update the assertion to test
std::is_same<C, type>::value || std::is_base_of<C, type>::value
which will allow union types, or members of base classes.
Also add a basic unit test for accessing unions.

In some cases the user of pythonbuf needs to allocate the internal
buffer to a specific size e.g. for performance or to enable synchronous
writes to the buffer.
By changing `pythonbuf::d_buffer` to be dynamically allocated we can now
enable these use-cases while still providing the default behavior of
allocating a 1024 byte internal buffer (through a default parameter).
Bazel has a "strict" build model that requires all C++ header files be compilable on their own, and thus must explicitly #include all headers they require (even if de facto header inclusion order means they'd get them "for free"). This adds a couple of headers that are needed (but missing) by this model.

Pybind11 provides a cast operator between opaque void* pointers on the
C++ side and capsules on the Python side. The py::cast<void *>
expression was not aware of this possibility and incorrectly triggered a
compile-time assertion ("Unable to cast type to reference: value is
local to type caster") that is now fixed.
* Support C++17 aligned new statement
This patch makes pybind11 aware of nonstandard alignment requirements in
bound types and passes on this information to C++17 aligned 'new'
operator. Pre-C++17, the behavior is unchanged.
This PR brings the std::array<> caster in sync with the other STL type
casters: to accept an arbitrary sequence as input (rather than a list,
which is too restrictive).
* Fix for Issue #1258
list_caster::load method will now check for a Python string and prevent its automatic conversion to a list.
This should fix the issue "pybind11/stl.h converts string to vector<string> #1258" (https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1258)
* Added tests for fix of issue #1258
* Changelog: stl string auto-conversion
* Fix potential crash when calling an overloaded function
The crash would occur if:
- dispatcher() uses two-pass logic (because the target is overloaded and some arguments support conversions)
- the first pass (with conversions disabled) doesn't find any matching overload
- the second pass does find a matching overload, but its return value can't be converted to Python
The code for formatting the error message assumed `it` still pointed to the selected overload,
but during the second-pass loop `it` was nullptr. Fix by setting `it` correctly if a second-pass
call returns a nullptr `handle`. Add a new test that segfaults without this fix.
* Make overload iteration const-correct so we don't have to iterate again on second-pass error
* Change test_error_after_conversions dependencies to local classes/variables
This commit addresses an inefficiency in how enums are created in
pybind11. Most of the enum_<> implementation is completely generic --
however, being a template class, it ended up instantiating vast amounts
of essentially identical code in larger projects with many enums.
This commit introduces a generic non-templated helper class that is
compatible with any kind of enumeration. enum_ then becomes a thin
wrapper around this new class.
The new enum_<> API is designed to be 100% compatible with the old one.
object_api::operator[] has a powerful overload for py::handle that can
accept slices, tuples (for NumPy), etc.
Lists, sequences, and tuples provide their own specialized operator[],
which unfortunately disables this functionality. This is accidental, and
the purpose of this commit is to re-enable the more general behavior.
This commit is tangentially related to the previous one in that it makes
py::handle/py::object et al. behave more like their Python counterparts.
This commit revamps the object_api class so that it maps most C++
operators to their Python analogs. This makes it possible to, e.g.
perform arithmetic using a py::int_ or py::array.
* check for already existing enum value added; added test
* added enum value name to exception message
* test for defining enum with multiple identical names moved to test_enum.cpp/py
This PR adds a new py::ellipsis() method which can be used in
conjunction with NumPy's generalized slicing support. For instance,
the following is now valid (where "a" is a NumPy array):
py::array b = a[py::make_tuple(0, py::ellipsis(), 0)];
* stl.h: propagate return value policies to type-specific casters
Return value policies for containers like those handled in in 'stl.h'
are currently broken.
The problem is that detail::return_value_policy_override<C>::policy()
always returns 'move' when given a non-pointer/reference type, e.g.
'std::vector<...>'.
This is sensible behavior for custom types that are exposed via
'py::class_<>', but it does not make sense for types that are handled by
other type casters (STL containers, Eigen matrices, etc.).
This commit changes the behavior so that
detail::return_value_policy_override only becomes active when the type
caster derives from type_caster_generic.
Furthermore, the override logic is called recursively in STL type
casters to enable key/value-specific behavior.

The current code requires implicitly that integral types are cast-able to floating point. In case of strongly-typed integrals (e.g. as explained at http://www.ilikebigbits.com/blog/2014/5/6/type-safe-identifiers-in-c) this is not always the case.
This commit uses SFINAE to move the numeric conversions into separate `cast()` implementations to avoid the issue.
If an exception is thrown during module initialization, the
error_already_set destructor will try to call `get_internals()` *after*
setting Python's error indicator, resulting in a `SystemError: ...
returned with an error set`.
Fix that by temporarily stashing away the error indicator in the
destructor.
When using pybind11 to bind enums on MSVC and warnings (/W4) enabled,
the following warning pollutes builds. This fix renames one of the
occurrences.
pybind11\include\pybind11\pybind11.h(1398): warning C4459: declaration of 'self' hides global declaration
pybind11\include\pybind11\operators.h(41): note: see declaration of 'pybind11::detail::self'
* Add basic support for tag-based static polymorphism
Sometimes it is possible to look at a C++ object and know what its dynamic type is,
even if it doesn't use C++ polymorphism, because instances of the object and its
subclasses conform to some other mechanism for being self-describing; for example,
perhaps there's an enumerated "tag" or "kind" member in the base class that's always
set to an indication of the correct type. This might be done for performance reasons,
or to permit most-derived types to be trivially copyable. One of the most widely-known
examples is in LLVM: https://llvm.org/docs/HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.html
This PR permits pybind11 to be informed of such conventions via a new specializable
detail::polymorphic_type_hook<> template, which generalizes the previous logic for
determining the runtime type of an object based on C++ RTTI. Implementors provide
a way to map from a base class object to a const std::type_info* for the dynamic
type; pybind11 then uses this to ensure that casting a Base* to Python creates a
Python object that knows it's wrapping the appropriate sort of Derived.
There are a number of restrictions with this tag-based static polymorphism support
compared to pybind11's existing support for built-in C++ polymorphism:
- there is no support for this-pointer adjustment, so only single inheritance is permitted
- there is no way to make C++ code call new Python-provided subclasses
- when binding C++ classes that redefine a method in a subclass, the .def() must be
repeated in the binding for Python to know about the update
But these are not much of an issue in practice in many cases, the impact on the
complexity of pybind11's innards is minimal and localized, and the support for
automatic downcasting improves usability a great deal.
The property returns the enum_ value as a string.
For example:
>>> import module
>>> module.enum.VALUE
enum.VALUE
>>> str(module.enum.VALUE)
'enum.VALUE'
>>> module.enum.VALUE.name
'VALUE'
This is actually the equivalent of Boost.Python "name" property.
As reported in #1349, clang before 3.5 can segfault on a function-local
variable referenced inside a lambda. This moves the function-local
static into a separate function that the lambda can invoke to avoid the
issue.
Fixes#1349
This reimplements the version check to avoid sscanf (which has
reportedly started throwing warnings under MSVC, even when used
perfectly safely -- #1314). It also extracts the mostly duplicated
parts of PYBIND11_MODULE/PYBIND11_PLUGIN into separate macros.
- PYBIND11_MAKE_OPAQUE now takes ... rather than a single argument and
expands it with __VA_ARGS__; this lets templated, comma-containing
types get through correctly.
- Adds a new macro PYBIND11_TYPE() that lets you pass the type into a
macro as a single argument, such as:
PYBIND11_OVERLOAD(PYBIND11_TYPE(R<1,2>), PYBIND11_TYPE(C<3,4>), func)
Unfortunately this only works for one macro call: to forward the
argument on to the next macro call (without the processor breaking it
up again) requires also adding the PYBIND11_TYPE(...) to type macro
arguments in the PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_... macro chain.
- updated the documentation with these two changes, and use them at a couple
places in the test suite to test that they work.
This updates the `py::init` constructors to only use brace
initialization for aggregate initiailization if there is no constructor
with the given arguments.
This, in particular, fixes the regression in #1247 where the presence of
a `std::initializer_list<T>` constructor started being invoked for
constructor invocations in 2.2 even when there was a specific
constructor of the desired type.
The added test case demonstrates: without this change, it fails to
compile because the `.def(py::init<std::vector<int>>())` constructor
tries to invoke the `T(std::initializer_list<std::vector<int>>)`
constructor rather than the `T(std::vector<int>)` constructor.
By only using `new T{...}`-style construction when a `T(...)`
constructor doesn't exist, we should bypass this by while still allowing
`py::init<...>` to be used for aggregate type initialization (since such
types, by definition, don't have a user-declared constructor).
* Fix segfault when reloading interpreter with external modules
When embedding the interpreter and loading external modules in that
embedded interpreter, the external module correctly shares its
internals_ptr with the one in the embedded interpreter. When the
interpreter is shut down, however, only the `internals_ptr` local to
the embedded code is actually reset to nullptr: the external module
remains set.
The result is that loading an external pybind11 module, letting the
interpreter go through a finalize/initialize, then attempting to use
something in the external module fails because this external module is
still trying to use the old (destroyed) internals. This causes
undefined behaviour (typically a segfault).
This commit fixes it by adding a level of indirection in the internals
path, converting the local internals variable to `internals **` instead
of `internals *`. With this change, we can detect a stale internals
pointer and reload the internals pointer (either from a capsule or by
creating a new internals instance).
(No issue number: this was reported on gitter by @henryiii and @aoloe).
The anonymous struct nested in a union triggers a -Wnested-anon-type
warning ("anonymous types declared in an anonymous union are an
extension") under clang (#1204). This names the struct and defines it
out of the definition of `instance` to get around to warning (and makes
the code slightly simpler).
PEP8 indicates (correctly, IMO) that when an annotation is present, the
signature should include spaces around the equal sign, i.e.
def f(x: int = 1): ...
instead of
def f(x: int=1): ...
(in the latter case the equal appears to bind to the type, not to the
argument).
pybind11 signatures always includes a type annotation so we can always
add the spaces.
When using the mixed position + vararg path, pybind over inc_ref's
the vararg positions. Printing the ref_count() of `item` before
and after this change you see:
Before change:
```
refcount of item before assign 3
refcount of item after assign 5
```
After change
```
refcount of item before assign 3
refcount of item after assign 4
```
The `py::args` or `py::kwargs` arguments aren't properly referenced
when added to the function_call arguments list: their reference counts
drop to zero if the first (non-converting) function call fails, which
means they might be cleaned up before the second pass call runs.
This commit adds a couple of extra `object`s to the `function_call`
where we can stash a reference to them when needed to tie their
lifetime to the function_call object's lifetime.
(Credit to YannickJadoul for catching and proposing a fix in #1223).
In the latest MSVC in C++17 mode including Eigen causes warnings:
warning C4996: 'std::unary_negate<_Fn>': warning STL4008: std::not1(),
std::not2(), std::unary_negate, and std::binary_negate are deprecated in
C++17. They are superseded by std::not_fn(). You can define
_SILENCE_CXX17_NEGATORS_DEPRECATION_WARNING or
_SILENCE_ALL_CXX17_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS to acknowledge that you have
received this warning.
This disables 4996 for the Eigen includes.
Catch generates a similar warning for std::uncaught_exception, so
disable the warning there, too.
In both cases this is temporary; we can (and should) remove the warnings
disabling once new upstream versions of Eigen and Catch are available
that address the warning. (The Catch one, in particular, looks to be
fixed in upstream master, so will probably be fixed in the next (2.0.2)
release).
Pybind11's default conversion to int always produces a long on Python 2 (`int`s and `long`s were unified in Python 3). This patch fixes `int` handling to match Python 2 on Python 2; for short types (`size_t` or smaller), the number will be returned as an `int` if possible, otherwise `long`. Requires Python 2.5+.
This is needed for things like `sys.exit`, which refuse to accept a `long`.
This commit turns on `-Wdeprecated` in the test suite and fixes several
associated deprecation warnings that show up as a result:
- in C++17 `static constexpr` members are implicitly inline; our
redeclaration (needed for C++11/14) is deprecated in C++17.
- various test suite classes have destructors and rely on implicit copy
constructors, but implicit copy constructor definitions when a
user-declared destructor is present was deprecated in C++11.
- Eigen also has various implicit copy constructors, so just disable
`-Wdeprecated` in `eigen.h`.
py::class_<T>'s `def_property` and `def_property_static` can now take a
`nullptr` as the getter to allow a write-only property to be established
(mirroring Python's `property()` built-in when `None` is given for the
getter).
This also updates properties to use the new nullptr constructor internally.
A few fixes related to how we set `__qualname__` and how we show the
type name in function signatures:
- `__qualname__` isn't supposed to have the module name at the
beginning, but we've been putting it there. This removes it, while
keeping the `Nested.Class` name chaining.
- print `__module__.__qualname__` rather than `type->tp_name`; the
latter doesn't work properly for nested classes, so we would get
`module.B` rather than `module.A.B` for a class `B` with parent `A`.
This also unifies the Python 3 and PyPy code. Fixes#1166.
- This now sets a `__qualname__` attribute on the type (as would happen
in Python 3.3+) for Python <3.3, including PyPy. While not particularly
important to have in earlier Python versions, it's useful for us to be
able to extracted the nested name, which is why `__qualname__` was
invented in the first place.
- Added tests for the above.
Building with the (VS2017) /permissive- flag puts the compiler into
stricter standards-compliant mode. It shouldn't cause the compiler to
work differently--it just disallows some non-conforming code--so should
be perfectly fine for the test suite under all VS2017 builds.
This commit also fixes one failure under non-permissive mode.
This fixes a bug introduced in b68959e822
when passing in a two-dimensional, but conformable, array as the value
for a compile-time Eigen vector (such as VectorXd or RowVectorXd). The
commit switched to using numpy to copy into the eigen data, but this
broke the described case because numpy refuses to broadcast a (N,1)
into a (N).
This commit fixes it by squeezing the input array whenever the output
array is 1-dimensional, which will let the problematic case through.
(This shouldn't squeeze inappropriately as dimension compatibility is
already checked for conformability before getting to the copy code).
When using `method_adaptor` (usually implicitly via a `cl.def("f",
&D::f)`) a compilation failure results if `f` is actually a method of
an inaccessible base class made public via `using`, such as:
class B { public: void f() {} };
class D : private B { public: using B::f; };
pybind deduces `&D::f` as a `B` member function pointer. Since the base
class is inaccessible, the cast in `method_adaptor` from a base class
member function pointer to derived class member function pointer isn't
valid, and a cast failure results.
This was sort of a regression in 2.2, which introduced `method_adaptor`
to do the expected thing when the base class *is* accessible. It wasn't
actually something that *worked* in 2.1, though: you wouldn't get a
compile-time failure, but the method was not callable (because the `D *`
couldn't be cast to a `B *` because of the access restriction). As a
result, you'd simply get a run-time failure if you ever tried to call
the function (this is what #855 fixed).
Thus the change in 2.2 essentially promoted a run-time failure to a
compile-time failure, so isn't really a regression.
This commit simply adds a `static_assert` with an accessible-base-class
check so that, rather than just a cryptic cast failure, you get
something more informative (along with a suggestion for a workaround).
The workaround is to use a lambda, e.g.:
class Derived : private Base {
public:
using Base::f;
};
// In binding code:
//cl.def("f", &Derived::f); // fails: &Derived::f is actually a base
// class member function pointer
cl.def("f", [](Derived &self) { return self.f(); });
This is a bit of a nuissance (especially if there are a bunch of
arguments to forward), but I don't really see another solution.
Fixes#1124
This changes the caster to return a reference to a (new) local `CharT`
type caster member so that binding lvalue-reference char arguments
works (currently it results in a compilation failure).
Fixes#1116
`type_descr` is now applied only to the final signature so that it only
marks the argument types, but not nested types (e.g. for tuples) or
return types.
MSCV does not allow `&typeid(T)` in constexpr contexts, but the string
part of the type signature can still be constexpr. In order to avoid
`typeid` as long as possible, `descr` is modified to collect type
information as template parameters instead of constexpr `typeid`.
The actual `std::type_info` pointers are only collected in the end,
as a `constexpr` (gcc/clang) or regular (MSVC) function call.
Not only does it significantly reduce binary size on MSVC, gcc/clang
benefit a little bit as well, since they can skip some intermediate
`std::type_info*` arrays.
The current C++14 constexpr signatures don't require relaxed constexpr,
but only `auto` return type deduction. To get around this in C++11,
the type caster's `name()` static member functions are turned into
`static constexpr auto` variables.
E.g. trying to convert a `list` to a `std::vector<int>` without
including <pybind11/stl.h> will now raise an error with a note that
suggests checking the headers.
The note is only appended if `std::` is found in the function
signature. This should only be the case when a header is missing.
E.g. when stl.h is included, the signature would contain `List[int]`
instead of `std::vector<int>` while using stl_bind.h would produce
something like `MyVector`. Similarly for `std::map`/`Dict`, `complex`,
`std::function`/`Callable`, etc.
There's a possibility for false positives, but it's pretty low.
To avoid an ODR violation in the test suite while testing
both `stl.h` and `std_bind.h` with `std::vector<bool>`,
the `py::bind_vector<std::vector<bool>>` test is moved to
the secondary module (which does not include `stl.h`).
There are two separate additions:
1. `py::hash(obj)` is equivalent to the Python `hash(obj)`.
2. `.def(hash(py::self))` registers the hash function defined by
`std::hash<T>` as the Python hash function.
The lookup of the `self` type and value pointer are moved out of
template code and into `dispatcher`. This brings down the binary
size of constructors back to the level of the old placement-new
approach. (It also avoids a second lookup for `init_instance`.)
With this implementation, mixing old- and new-style constructors
in the same overload set may result in some runtime overhead for
temporary allocations/deallocations, but this should be fine as
old style constructors are phased out.
Creating an instance of of a pybind11-bound type caused a reference leak in the
associated Python type object, which could prevent these from being collected
upon interpreter shutdown. This commit fixes that issue for all types that are
defined in a scope (e.g. a module). Unscoped anonymous types (e.g. custom
iterator types) always retain a positive reference count to prevent their
collection.
The current PYBIND11_INTERNALS_ID depends on the version of the library
in order to isolate binary incompatible internals capsules. However,
this does not preclude conflicts between modules built from different
(binary incompatible) commits with the same version number.
For example, if one module was built with an early v2.2.dev and
submitted to PyPI, it could not be loaded alongside a v2.2.x release
module -- it would segfault because of incompatible internals with
the same ID.
This PR changes the ID to depend on PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION which is
independent of the main library version. It's an integer which should be
incremented whenever a binary incompatible change is made to internals.
PYBIND11_INTERNALS_KIND is also introduced for a similar reason.
The same versioning scheme is also applied to `type_info` and the
`module_local` type attribute.
The "see above" comment being referenced in the code comments isn't
"above" anymore; copy the later factory init comment into the first
constructor block to fix it.
The main point of `py::module_local` is to make the C++ -> Python cast
unique so that returning/casting a C++ instance is well-defined.
Unfortunately it also makes loading unique, but this isn't particularly
desirable: when an instance contains `Type` instance there's no reason
it shouldn't be possible to pass that instance to a bound function
taking a `Type` parameter, even if that function is in another module.
This commit solves the issue by allowing foreign module (and global)
type loaders have a chance to load the value if the local module loader
fails. The implementation here does this by storing a module-local
loading function in a capsule in the python type, which we can then call
if the local (and possibly global, if the local type is masking a global
type) version doesn't work.
This reimplements the py::init<...> implementations using the various
functions added to support `py::init(...)`, and moves the implementing
structs into `detail/init.h` from `pybind11.h`. It doesn't simply use a
factory directly, as this is a very common case and implementation
without an extra lambda call is a small but useful optimization.
This, combined with the previous lazy initialization, also avoids
needing placement new for `py::init<...>()` construction: such
construction now occurs via an ordinary `new Type(...)`.
A consequence of this is that it also fixes a potential bug when using
multiple inheritance from Python: it was very easy to write classes
that double-initialize an existing instance which had the potential to
leak for non-pod classes. With the new implementation, an attempt to
call `__init__` on an already-initialized object is now ignored. (This
was already done in the previous commit for factory constructors).
This change exposed a few warnings (fixed here) from deleting a pointer
to a base class with virtual functions but without a virtual destructor.
These look like legitimate warnings that we shouldn't suppress; this
adds virtual destructors to the appropriate classes.
This allows you to use:
cls.def(py::init(&factory_function));
where `factory_function` returns a pointer, holder, or value of the
class type (or a derived type). Various compile-time checks
(static_asserts) are performed to ensure the function is valid, and
various run-time type checks where necessary.
Some other details of this feature:
- The `py::init` name doesn't conflict with the templated no-argument
`py::init<...>()`, but keeps the naming consistent: the existing
templated, no-argument one wraps constructors, the no-template,
function-argument one wraps factory functions.
- If returning a CppClass (whether by value or pointer) when an CppAlias
is required (i.e. python-side inheritance and a declared alias), a
dynamic_cast to the alias is attempted (for the pointer version); if
it fails, or if returned by value, an Alias(Class &&) constructor
is invoked. If this constructor doesn't exist, a runtime error occurs.
- for holder returns when an alias is required, we try a dynamic_cast of
the wrapped pointer to the alias to see if it is already an alias
instance; if it isn't, we raise an error.
- `py::init(class_factory, alias_factory)` is also available that takes
two factories: the first is called when an alias is not needed, the
second when it is.
- Reimplement factory instance clearing. The previous implementation
failed under python-side multiple inheritance: *each* inherited
type's factory init would clear the instance instead of only setting
its own type value. The new implementation here clears just the
relevant value pointer.
- dealloc is updated to explicitly set the leftover value pointer to
nullptr and the `holder_constructed` flag to false so that it can be
used to clear preallocated value without needing to rebuild the
instance internals data.
- Added various tests to test out new allocation/deallocation code.
- With preallocation now done lazily, init factory holders can
completely avoid the extra overhead of needing an extra
allocation/deallocation.
- Updated documentation to make factory constructors the default
advanced constructor style.
- If an `__init__` is called a second time, we have two choices: we can
throw away the first instance, replacing it with the second; or we can
ignore the second call. The latter is slightly easier, so do that.
An alias can be used for two main purposes: to override virtual methods,
and to add some extra data to a class needed for the pybind-wrapper.
Both of these absolutely require that the wrapped class be polymorphic
so that virtual dispatch and destruction, respectively, works.
`function_signature_t` extracts the function type from a function,
function pointer, or lambda.
`is_lambda` (which is really
`is_not_a_function_or_pointer_or_member_pointer`, but that name is a
bit too long) checks whether the type is (in the approprate context) a
lambda.
`is_function_pointer` checks whether the type is a pointer to a
function.
We currently allocate instance values when creating the instance itself
(except when constructing the instance for a `cast()`), but there is no
particular reason to do so: the instance itself and the internals (for
a non-simple layout) are allocated via Python, with no reason to
expect better locality from the invoked `operator new`. Moreover, it
makes implementation of factory function constructors trickier and
slightly less efficient: they don't use the pre-eallocate the memory,
which means there is a pointless allocation and free.
This commit makes the allocation lazy: instead of preallocating when
creating the instance, the allocation happens when the instance is
first loaded (if null at that time).
In addition to making it more efficient to deal with cases that don't
need preallocation, this also allows for a very slight performance
increase by not needing to look up the instances types during
allocation. (There is a lookup during the eventual load, of course, but
that is happening already).
This adds a PYBIND11_NAMESPACE macro that expands to the `pybind11`
namespace with hidden visibility under gcc-type compilers, and otherwise
to the plain `pybind11`. This then forces hidden visibility on
everything in pybind, solving the visibility issues discussed at end
end of #949.
In C++11 mode, `boost::apply_visitor` requires an explicit `result_type`.
This also adds optional tests for `boost::variant` in C++11/14, if boost
is available. In C++17 mode, `std::variant` is tested instead.
The current `py::overload_cast` is hitting some ICEs under both MSVC
2015 and clang 3.8 on debian with the rewritten test suites; adding an
empty constexpr constructor to the `overload_cast_impl` class seems to
avoid the ICE.
Attempting to mix py::module_local and non-module_local classes results
in some unexpected/undesirable behaviour:
- if a class is registered non-local by some other module, a later
attempt to register it locally fails. It doesn't need to: it is
perfectly acceptable for the local registration to simply override
the external global registration.
- going the other way (i.e. module `A` registers a type `T` locally,
then `B` registers the same type `T` globally) causes a more serious
issue: `A.T`'s constructors no longer work because the `self` argument
gets converted to a `B.T`, which then fails to resolve.
Changing the cast precedence to prefer local over global fixes this and
makes it work more consistently, regardless of module load order.
Types need `tp_name` set to a C-style string, but the current `strdup`
ends up with a leak (issue #977). This avoids the strdup by storing
the `std::string` in internals so that during interpreter shutdown it
will be properly destroyed.
This commit adds a `py::module_local` attribute that lets you confine a
registered type to the module (more technically, the shared object) in
which it is defined, by registering it with:
py::class_<C>(m, "C", py::module_local())
This will allow the same C++ class `C` to be registered in different
modules with independent sets of class definitions. On the Python side,
two such types will be completely distinct; on the C++ side, the C++
type resolves to a different Python type in each module.
This applies `py::module_local` automatically to `stl_bind.h` bindings
when the container value type looks like something global: i.e. when it
is a converting type (for example, when binding a `std::vector<int>`),
or when it is a registered type itself bound with `py::module_local`.
This should help resolve potential future conflicts (e.g. if two
completely unrelated modules both try to bind a `std::vector<int>`.
Users can override the automatic selection by adding a
`py::module_local()` or `py::module_local(false)`.
Note that this does mildly break backwards compatibility: bound stl
containers of basic types like `std::vector<int>` cannot be bound in one
module and returned in a different module. (This can be re-enabled with
`py::module_local(false)` as described above, but with the potential for
eventual load conflicts).
The builtin exception handler currently doesn't work across modules
under clang/libc++ for builtin pybind exceptions like
`pybind11::error_already_set` or `pybind11::stop_iteration`: under
RTLD_LOCAL module loading clang considers each module's exception
classes distinct types. This then means that the base exception
translator fails to catch the exceptions and the fall through to the
generic `std::exception` handler, which completely breaks things like
`stop_iteration`: only the `stop_iteration` of the first module loaded
actually works properly; later modules raise a RuntimeError with no
message when trying to invoke their iterators.
For example, two modules defined like this exhibit the behaviour under
clang++/libc++:
z1.cpp:
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/stl_bind.h>
namespace py = pybind11;
PYBIND11_MODULE(z1, m) {
py::bind_vector<std::vector<long>>(m, "IntVector");
}
z2.cpp:
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/stl_bind.h>
namespace py = pybind11;
PYBIND11_MODULE(z2, m) {
py::bind_vector<std::vector<double>>(m, "FloatVector");
}
Python:
import z1, z2
for i in z2.FloatVector():
pass
results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "zs.py", line 2, in <module>
for i in z2.FloatVector():
RuntimeError
This commit fixes the issue by adding a new exception translator each
time the internals pointer is initialized from python builtins: this
generally means the internals data was initialized by some other
module. (The extra translator(s) are skipped under libstdc++).
This commit adds a PYBIND11_UNSHARED_STATIC_LOCALS macro that forces a
function to have hidden visibility under gcc and gcc-compatible
compilers. gcc, in particular, needs this to to avoid sharing static
local variables across modules (which happens even under a RTLD_LOCAL
dlopen()!). clang doesn't appear to have this issue, but the forced
visibility on internal pybind functions certainly won't hurt it and icc.
This updates the workaround from #862 to use this rather than the
version-specific template.
Currently types that are capable of conversion always call their convert
function when invoked with a `py::object` which is actually the correct
type. This means that code such as `py::cast<py::list>(obj)` and
`py::list l(obj.attr("list"))` make copies, which was an oversight
rather than an intentional feature.
While at first glance there might be something behind having
`py::list(obj)` make a copy (as it would in Python), this would be
inconsistent when you dig a little deeper because `py::list(l)`
*doesn't* make a copy for an existing `py::list l`, and having an
inconsistency within C++ would be worse than a C++ <-> Python
inconsistency.
It is possible to get around the copying using a
`reinterpret_borrow<list>(o)` (and this commit fixes one place, in
`embed.h`, that does so), but that seems a misuse of
`reinterpret_borrow`, which is really supposed to be just for dealing
with raw python-returned values, not `py::object`-derived wrappers which
are supposed to be higher level.
This changes the constructor of such converting types (i.e. anything
using PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT -- `str`, `bool_`, `int_`, `float_`, `tuple`,
`dict`, `list`, `set`, `memoryview`) to reference rather than copy when
the check function passes.
It also adds an `object &&` constructor that is slightly more efficient
by avoiding an inc_ref when the check function passes.
The fix for #960 could result a type being registered multiple times if
its `__init__` is called multiple times. This can happen perfectly
ordinarily when python-side multiple inheritance is involved: for
example, with a diamond inheritance pattern with each intermediate
classes invoking the parent constructor.
With the change in #960, the multiple `__init__` calls meant
`register_instance` was called multiple times, but the deletion only
deleted it once. Thus, if a future instance of the same type was
allocated at the same location, pybind would pick it up as a registered
type.
This fixes the issue by tracking whether a value pointer has been
registered to avoid both double-registering it. (There's also a slight
optimization of not needing to do a registered_instances lookup when the
type is known not registered, but this is secondary).
`error_already_set` is more complicated than it needs to be, partly
because it manages reference counts itself rather than using
`py::object`, and partly because it tries to do more exception clearing
than is needed. This commit greatly simplifies it, and fixes#927.
Using `py::object` instead of `PyObject *` means we can rely on
implicit copy/move constructors.
The current logic did both a `PyErr_Clear` on deletion *and* a
`PyErr_Fetch` on creation. I can't see how the `PyErr_Clear` on
deletion is ever useful: the `Fetch` on creation itself clears the
error, so the only way doing a `PyErr_Clear` on deletion could do
anything if is some *other* exception was raised while the
`error_already_set` object was alive--but in that case, clearing some
other exception seems wrong. (Code that is worried about an exception
handler raising another exception would already catch a second
`error_already_set` from exception code).
The destructor itself called `clear()`, but `clear()` was a little bit
more paranoid that needed: it called `restore()` to restore the
currently captured error, but then immediately cleared it, using the
`PyErr_Restore` to release the references. That's unnecessary: it's
valid for us to release the references manually. This updates the code
to simply release the references on the three objects (preserving the
gil acquire).
`clear()`, however, also had the side effect of clearing the current
error, even if the current `error_already_set` didn't have a current
error (e.g. because of a previous `restore()` or `clear()` call). I
don't really see how clearing the error here can ever actually be
useful: the only way the current error could be set is if you called
`restore()` (in which case the current stored error-related members have
already been released), or if some *other* code raised the error, in
which case `clear()` on *this* object is clearing an error for which it
shouldn't be responsible.
Neither of those seem like intentional or desirable features, and
manually requesting deletion of the stored references similarly seems
pointless, so I've just made `clear()` an empty method and marked it
deprecated.
This also fixes a minor potential issue with the destruction: it is
technically possible for `value` to be null (though this seems likely to
be rare in practice); this updates the check to look at `type` which
will always be non-null for a `Fetch`ed exception.
This also adds error_already_set round-trip throw tests to the test
suite.
The instance registration for offset base types fails (under macOS, with
a segfault) in the presense of virtual base types. The issue occurs
when trying to `static_cast<Base *>(derived_ptr)` when `derived_ptr` has
been allocated (via `operator new`) but not initialized.
This commit fixes the issue by moving the addition to
`registered_instances` into `init_holder` rather than immediately after
value pointer allocation.
This also renames it to `init_instance` since it does more than holder
initialization now. (I also further renamed `init_holder_helper` to
`init_holder` since `init_holder` isn't used anymore).
Fixes#959.
Pre-C++17, std::pair can technically have an copy constructor even
though it can't actually be invoked without a compilation failure (due
to the underlying types being non-copyable). Most stls, including
libc++ since ~3.4, use the C++17 behaviour of not exposing an uncallable
copy constructor, but FreeBSD deliberately broke their libc++ to
preserve the nonsensical behaviour
(https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=261801).
This updates pybind's internal `is_copy_constructible` to also detect
the std::pair case under pre-C++17.
This also everything (except for a couple cases in the internal version)
to use the internal `is_copy_constructible` rather than
`std::is_copy_constructible`.
This adds support for implicit conversions to bool from Python types
with `__bool__` (Python 3) or `__nonzero__` (Python 2) attributes, and
adds direct (i.e. non-converting) support for numpy bools.
If a class doesn't provide a `T::operator delete(void *)` but does have
a `T::operator delete(void *, size_t)` the latter is invoked by a
`delete someT`. Pybind currently only look for and call the former;
this commit adds detection and calling of the latter when the former
doesn't exist.
To fix a difficult-to-reproduce segfault on Python interpreter exit,
ensure that the tp_base field of a handful of new heap-types is
counted as a reference to that base type object.
This changes the pointer `cast()` in `PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER` to recognize
the `take_ownership` policy: if casting a pointer with take-ownership,
the `cast()` now recalls `cast()` with a dereferenced rvalue (rather
than the previous code, which was always calling it with a const lvalue
reference), and deletes the pointer after the chained `cast()` is
complete.
This makes code like:
m.def("f", []() { return new std::vector<int>(100, 1); },
py::return_value_policy::take_ownership);
do the expected thing by taking over ownership of the returned pointer
(which is deleted once the chained cast completes).
PR #936 broke the ability to return a pointer to a stl container (and,
likewise, to a tuple) because the added deduced type matched a
non-const pointer argument: the pointer-accepting `cast` in
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER had a `const type *`, which is a worse match for a
non-const pointer than the universal reference template #936 added.
This changes the provided TYPE_CASTER cast(ptr) to take the pointer by
template arg (so that it will accept either const or non-const pointer).
It has two other effects: it slightly reduces .so size (because many
type casters never actually need the pointer cast at all), and it allows
type casters to provide their untemplated pointer `cast()` that will
take precedence over the templated version provided in the macro.
The value and holder iterator code had a past-the-end iterator
dereference. While of course invalid, the dereference didn't actually
cause any problems (which is why it wasn't caught before) because the
dereferenced value is never actually used and `vector` implementations
appear to allow dereferencing the past-the-end iterator. Under a MSVC
debug build, however, it fails a debug assertion and aborts.
This amends the iterator to just store and use a pointer to the vector
(rather than adding a second past-the-end iterator member), checking the
type index against the type vector size.
ICC was reporting that `try_direct_conversions()` cannot be `constexpr`
because `handle` is not a literal type. The fix removes `constexpr`
from the function since it isn't strictly needed.
This commit also suppresses new false positive warnings which mostly
appear in constexpr contexts (where the compiler knows conversions are
safe).
This updates the std::tuple, std::pair and `stl.h` type casters to
forward their contained value according to whether the container being
cast is an lvalue or rvalue reference. This fixes an issue where
subcaster casts were always called with a const lvalue which meant
nested type casters didn't have the desired `cast()` overload invoked.
For example, this caused Eigen values in a tuple to end up with a
readonly flag (issue #935) and made it impossible to return a container
of move-only types (issue #853).
This fixes both issues by adding templated universal reference `cast()`
methods to the various container types that forward container elements
according to the container reference type.
The std::pair caster can be written as a special case of the std::tuple
caster; this combines them via a base `tuple_caster` class (which is
essentially identical to the previous std::tuple caster).
This also removes the special empty tuple base case: returning an empty
tuple is relatively rare, and the base case still works perfectly well
even when the tuple types is an empty list.
When defining method from a member function pointer (e.g. `.def("f",
&Derived::f)`) we run into a problem if `&Derived::f` is actually
implemented in some base class `Base` when `Base` isn't
pybind-registered.
This happens because the class type is deduced from the member function
pointer, which then becomes a lambda with first argument this deduced
type. For a base class implementation, the deduced type is `Base`, not
`Derived`, and so we generate and registered an overload which takes a
`Base *` as first argument. Trying to call this fails if `Base` isn't
registered (e.g. because it's an implementation detail class that isn't
intended to be exposed to Python) because the type caster for an
unregistered type always fails.
This commit adds a `method_adaptor` function that rebinds a member
function to a derived type member function and otherwise (i.e. regular
functions/lambda) leaves the argument as-is. This is now used for class
definitions so that they are bound with type being registered rather
than a potential base type.
A closely related fix in this commit is to similarly update the lambdas
used for `def_readwrite` (and related) to bind to the class type being
registered rather than the deduced type so that registering a property
that resolves to a base class member similarly generates a usable
function.
Fixes#854, #910.

When casting to an unsigned type from a python 2 `int`, we currently
cast using `(unsigned long long) PyLong_AsUnsignedLong(src.ptr())`.
If the Python cast fails, it returns (unsigned long) -1, but then we
cast this to `unsigned long long`, which means we get 4294967295, but
because that isn't equal to `(unsigned long long) -1`, we don't detect
the failure.
This commit moves the unsigned casting into a `detail::as_unsigned`
function which, upon error, casts -1 to the final type, and otherwise
casts the return value to the final type to avoid the problematic double
cast when an error occurs.
The error most commonly shows up wherever `long` is 32-bits (e.g. under
both 32- and 64-bit Windows, and under 32-bit linux) when passing a
negative value to a bound function taking an `unsigned long`.
Fixes#929.
The added tests also trigger a latent segfault under PyPy: when casting
to an integer smaller than `long` (e.g. casting to a `uint32_t` on a
64-bit `long` architecture) we check both for a Python error and also
that the resulting intermediate value will fit in the final type. If
there is no conversion error, but we get a value that would overflow, we
end up calling `PyErr_ExceptionMatches()` illegally: that call is only
allowed when there is a current exception. Under PyPy, this segfaults
the test suite. It doesn't appear to segfault under CPython, but the
documentation suggests that it *could* do so. The fix is to only check
for the exception match if we actually got an error.
This fixes#856. Instead of the weakref trick, the internals structure
holds an unordered_map from PyObject* to a vector of references. To
avoid the cost of the unordered_map lookup for objects that don't have
any keep_alive patients, a flag is added to each instance to indicate
whether there is anything to do.
Using `std::type_info::operator==` fails under libc++ because the .so
is loaded with RTLD_LOCAL. libc++ considers types under such .sos
distinct, and so comparing typeid() values directly isn't going to work.
This adds a custom hasher and equality class for the type lookup maps
when not under stdlibc++, and adds a `detail::same_type` function to
perform the equality test. It also converts a few pointer arguments to
const lvalue references, particularly since doing the pointer
comparison wasn't technically valid to being with (though in practice,
appeared to work everywhere).
This fixes#912.
Fixes a race condition when multiple threads try to acquire the GIL
before `detail::internals` have been initialized. `gil_scoped_release`
is now tasked with initializing `internals` (guaranteed single-threaded)
to ensure the safety of subsequent `acquire` calls from multiple threads.
Fixes the issue as described in the comments of commit e27ea47. This
just adds `enable_if_t<std::is_move_constructible<T>::value>` to
`make_move_constructor`. The change fixes MSVC and is harmless with
other compilers.
CLion slows to a crawl when evaluating the intricate `PYBIND11_NUMPY_DTYPE`
macro. This commit replaces the macro cascade with a simple `(void)0`
to ease IDE evaluation.
This commit allows multiple inheritance of pybind11 classes from
Python, e.g.
class MyType(Base1, Base2):
def __init__(self):
Base1.__init__(self)
Base2.__init__(self)
where Base1 and Base2 are pybind11-exported classes.
This requires collapsing the various builtin base objects
(pybind11_object_56, ...) introduced in 2.1 into a single
pybind11_object of a fixed size; this fixed size object allocates enough
space to contain either a simple object (one base class & small* holder
instance), or a pointer to a new allocation that can contain an
arbitrary number of base classes and holders, with holder size
unrestricted.
* "small" here means having a sizeof() of at most 2 pointers, which is
enough to fit unique_ptr (sizeof is 1 ptr) and shared_ptr (sizeof is 2
ptrs).
To minimize the performance impact, this repurposes
`internals::registered_types_py` to store a vector of pybind-registered
base types. For direct-use pybind types (e.g. the `PyA` for a C++ `A`)
this is simply storing the same thing as before, but now in a vector;
for Python-side inherited types, the map lets us avoid having to do a
base class traversal as long as we've seen the class before. The
change to vector is needed for multiple inheritance: Python types
inheriting from multiple registered bases have one entry per base.
Fixes#896.
From Python docs: "Once an iterator’s `__next__()` method raises
`StopIteration`, it must continue to do so on subsequent calls.
Implementations that do not obey this property are deemed broken."
Passing utf8 encoded strings from python to a C++ function taking a
std::string was broken. The previous version was trying to call
'PyUnicode_FromObject' on this data, which failed to convert the string
to unicode with the default ascii codec. Also this incurs an unnecessary
conversion to unicode for data this is immediately converted back to
utf8.
Fix by treating python 2 strings the same python 3 bytes objects, and just
copying over the data if possible.
libc++ 3.8 (and possibly others--including the derived version on OS X),
doesn't define the macro, but does support std::experimental::optional.
This removes the extra macro check and just assumes the header existing
is enough, which is what we do for <optional> and <variant>.
Py_Finalize could potentially invoke code that calls `get_internals()`,
which could create a new internals object if one didn't exist.
`finalize_interpreter()` didn't catch this because it only used the
pre-finalize interpreter pointer status; if this happens, it results in
the internals pointer not being properly destroyed with the interpreter,
which leaks, and also causes a `get_internals()` under a future
interpreter to return an internals object that is wrong in various ways.
`accessor` currently relies on an implicit default copy constructor, but that is deprecated in C++11 when a copy assignment operator is present and can, in some cases, raise deprecation warnings (see #888). This commit explicitly specifies the default copy constructor and also adds a default move constructor.
This reimplements the std::reference_wrapper<T> caster to be a shell
around the underlying T caster (rather than assuming T is a generic
type), which lets it work for things like `std::reference_wrapper<int>`
or anything else custom type caster with a lvalue cast operator.
This also makes it properly fail when None is provided, just as an
ordinary lvalue reference argument would similarly fail.
This also adds a static assert to test that T has an appropriate type
caster. It triggers for casters like `std::pair`, which have
return-by-value cast operators. (In theory this could be supported by
storing a local temporary for such types, but that's beyond the scope
of this PR).
This also replaces `automatic` or `take_ownership` return value policies
with `automatic_reference` as taking ownership of a reference inside a
reference_wrapper is not valid.
This commit also adds `doc()` to `object_api` as a shortcut for the
`attr("__doc__")` accessor.
The module macro changes from:
```c++
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
pybind11::module m("example", "pybind11 example plugin");
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
return m.ptr();
}
```
to:
```c++
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
}
```
Using the old macro results in a deprecation warning. The warning
actually points to the `pybind11_init` function (since attributes
don't bind to macros), but the message should be quite clear:
"PYBIND11_PLUGIN is deprecated, use PYBIND11_MODULE".
* Added template constructors to buffer_info that can deduce the item size, format string, and number of dimensions from the pointer type and the shape container
* Implemented actual buffer_info constructor as private delegate constructor taking rvalue reference as a workaround for the evaluation order move problem on GCC 4.8
Now that #851 has removed all multiple uses of a caster, it can just use
the default-constructed value with needing a reset. This fixes two
issues:
1. With std::experimental::optional (at least under GCC 5.4), the `= {}`
would construct an instance of the optional type and then move-assign
it, which fails if the value type isn't move-assignable.
2. With older versions of Boost, the `= {}` could fail because it is
ambiguous, allowing construction of either `boost::none` or the value
type.
The "extend" method for vectors defined in stl_bind.h used `reserve` to
allocate space for the extra growth. While this can sometimes make a
constant-factor improvement in performance, it can also cause
construction of a vector by repeated extension to take quadratic rather
than linear time, as memory is reallocated in small increments rather
than on an exponential schedule. For example, this Python code would
take time proportional to the square of the trip count:
```python
a = VectorInt([1, 2, 3])
b = VectorInt()
for i in range(100000):
b.extend(a)
```
This commit removes the `reserve` call. The alternative would be to try
to add some smarter heuristics, but the standard library may well have
its own heuristics (the iterators are random access iterators, so it can
easily determine the number of items being added) and trying to add more
heuristics on top of that seems like a bad idea.
This extends py::vectorize to automatically pass through
non-vectorizable arguments. This removes the need for the documented
"explicitly exclude an argument" workaround.
Vectorization now applies to arithmetic, std::complex, and POD types,
passed as plain value or by const lvalue reference (previously only
pass-by-value types were supported). Non-const lvalue references and
any other types are passed through as-is.
Functions with rvalue reference arguments (whether vectorizable or not)
are explicitly prohibited: an rvalue reference is inherently not
something that can be passed multiple times and is thus unsuitable to
being in a vectorized function.
The vectorize returned value is also now more sensitive to inputs:
previously it would return by value when all inputs are of size 1; this
is now amended to having all inputs of size 1 *and* 0 dimensions. Thus
if you pass in, for example, [[1]], you get back a 1x1, 2D array, while
previously you got back just the resulting single value.
Vectorization of member function specializations is now also supported
via `py::vectorize(&Class::method)`; this required passthrough support
for the initial object pointer on the wrapping function pointer.
Currently if you construct an `array_t<T, array::f_style>` with a shape
but not strides you get a C-style array; the only way to get F-style
strides was to calculate the strides manually. This commit fixes that
by adding logic to use f_style strides when the flag is set.
This also simplifies the existing c_style stride logic.
This allows calling of functions (typically void) over a parameter
pack, replacing usage such as:
bool unused[] = { (voidfunc(param_pack_arg), false)..., false };
(void) unused;
with a much cleaner:
PYBIND11_EXPAND_SIDE_EFFECTS(voidfunc(param_pack_arg));
This attribute lets you disable (or explicitly enable) passing None to
an argument that otherwise would allow it by accepting
a value by raw pointer or shared_ptr.
This commit allows type_casters to allow their local values to be moved
away, rather than copied, when the type caster instance itself is an rvalue.
This only applies (automatically) to type casters using
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER; the generic type type casters don't own their own
pointer, and various value casters (e.g. std::string, std::pair,
arithmetic types) already cast to an rvalue (i.e. they return by value).
This updates various calling code to attempt to get a movable value
whenever the value is itself coming from a type caster about to be
destroyed: for example, when constructing an std::pair or various stl.h
containers. For types that don't support value moving, the cast_op
falls back to an lvalue cast.
There wasn't an obvious place to add the tests, so I added them to
test_copy_move_policies, but also renamed it to drop the _policies as it
now tests more than just policies.
This changes javadoc-style documenting comments from:
/** Text starts here
* and continues here
*/
to:
/**
* Test starts here
* and continues here
*/
which looks a little better, and also matches the javadoc-recommended
way of writing documenting comments.
