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 They are superseded by std::not_fn().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.
The just-updated flake8 package hits a bunch of:
E741 ambiguous variable name 'l'
warnings. This commit renames them all from `l` to `lst` (they are all
list values) to avoid the error.
- For the debian/buster docker build (GCC 7/C++17) install and use the
system `catch` package; this also renames "COMPILER_PACKAGES" to
"EXTRA_PACKAGES" since it now contains a non-compiler package.
- Add a status message indicating the catch version being used for
compiling the embedded tests
- Simplify some bash code by using VAR+=" foo" to append (rather than
VAR="${VAR} foo"
- Fix CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH appending: it was prepending the ':' but not
the existing $CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH value and so would end up with
":/eigen-path" if CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH was already set. (This wasn't
bug that was actually noticed since currently nothing else sets it).
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).
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
This also matches the Eigen example for the row-major case.
This also enhances one of the tests to trigger a failure (and fixes it in the PR). (This isn't really a flaw in pybind itself, but rather fixes wrong code in the test code and docs).
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 `latest` build remains as is, but all others are modified to:
* Use regular Python instead of conda. `pip install` is much faster
than conda, but scipy isn't available. Numpy is still tested.
* Compile in debug mode instead of release.
* Skip CMake build tests. For some reason, CMake configuration is very
slow on AppVeyor and these tests are almost entirely CMake.
The changes reduce build time to about 1/3 of the original. The `latest`
config still covers scipy, release mode and the CMake build tests, so
the others don't need to.
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.
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.
This udpates all the remaining tests to the new test suite code and
comment styles started in #898. For the most part, the test coverage
here is unchanged, with a few minor exceptions as noted below.
- test_constants_and_functions: this adds more overload tests with
overloads with different number of arguments for more comprehensive
overload_cast testing. The test style conversion broke the overload
tests under MSVC 2015, prompting the additional tests while looking
for a workaround.
- test_eigen: this dropped the unused functions `get_cm_corners` and
`get_cm_corners_const`--these same tests were duplicates of the same
things provided (and used) via ReturnTester methods.
- test_opaque_types: this test had a hidden dependence on ExampleMandA
which is now fixed by using the global UserType which suffices for the
relevant test.
- test_methods_and_attributes: this required some additions to UserType
to make it usable as a replacement for the test's previous SimpleType:
UserType gained a value mutator, and the `value` property is not
mutable (it was previously readonly). Some overload tests were also
added to better test overload_cast (as described above).
- test_numpy_array: removed the untemplated mutate_data/mutate_data_t:
the templated versions with an empty parameter pack expand to the same
thing.
- test_stl: this was already mostly in the new style; this just tweaks
things a bit, localizing a class, and adding some missing
`// test_whatever` comments.
- test_virtual_functions: like `test_stl`, this was mostly in the new
test style already, but needed some `// test_whatever` comments.
This commit also moves the inherited virtual example code to the end
of the file, after the main set of tests (since it is less important
than the other tests, and rather length); it also got renamed to
`test_inherited_virtuals` (from `test_inheriting_repeat`) because it
tests both inherited virtual approaches, not just the repeat approach.
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.
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 adds the infrastructure for a separate test plugin for cross-module
tests. (This commit contains no tests that actually use it, but the
following commits do; this is separated simply to provide a cleaner
commit history).
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.
`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.
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.
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.
In a Debug build, MSVC doesn't apply copy/move elision as often,
triggering a test failure. This relaxes the test count requirements
to let the test suite pass.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The new version of pytest now reports Python warnings by default. This
commit filters out some third-party extension warnings which are not
useful for pybind11 tests.
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
At this point, there is only a single test for interpreter basics.
Apart from embedding itself, having a C++ test framework will also
benefit the C++-side features by allowing them to be tested directly.
All targets provided by pybind11:
* pybind11::module - the existing target for creating extension modules
* pybind11::embed - new target for embedding the interpreter
* pybind11::pybind11 - common "base" target (headers only)
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.
MSVC by default uses the local codepage, which fails when it sees the
utf-8 in test_python_types.cpp. This adds the /utf-8 flag to the test
suite compilation to force it to interpret source code as utf-8.
Fixes#869
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.
