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)];
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).
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".
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.
This exposed a few underlying issues:
1. is_pod_struct was too strict to allow this. I've relaxed it to
require only trivially copyable and standard layout, rather than POD
(which additionally requires a trivial constructor, which std::complex
violates).
2. format_descriptor<std::complex<T>>::format() returned numpy format
strings instead of PEP3118 format strings, but register_dtype
feeds format codes of its fields to _dtype_from_pep3118. I've changed it
to return PEP3118 format codes. format_descriptor is a public type, so
this may be considered an incompatible change.
3. register_structured_dtype tried to be smart about whether to mark
fields as unaligned (with ^). However, it's examining the C++ alignment,
rather than what numpy (or possibly PEP3118) thinks the alignment should
be. For complex values those are different. I've made it mark all fields
as ^ unconditionally, which should always be safe even if they are
aligned, because we explicitly mark the padding.
Resolves#800.
Both C++ arrays and std::array are supported, including mixtures like
std::array<int, 2>[4]. In a multi-dimensional array of char, the last
dimension is used to construct a numpy string type.
We're current copy by creating an Eigen::Map into the input numpy
array, then assigning that to the basic eigen type, effectively having
Eigen do the copy. That doesn't work for negative strides, though:
Eigen doesn't allow them.
This commit makes numpy do the copying instead by allocating the eigen
type, then having numpy copy from the input array into a numpy reference
into the eigen object's data. This also saves a copy when type
conversion is required: numpy can do the conversion on-the-fly as part
of the copy.
Finally this commit also makes non-reference parameters respect the
convert flag, declining the load when called in a noconvert pass with a
convertible, but non-array input or an array with the wrong dtype.
The extends the previous unchecked support with the ability to
determine the dimensions at runtime. This incurs a small performance
hit when used (versus the compile-time fixed alternative), but is still considerably
faster than the full checks on every call that happen with
`.at()`/`.mutable_at()`.
This adds bounds-unchecked access to arrays through a `a.unchecked<Type,
Dimensions>()` method. (For `array_t<T>`, the `Type` template parameter
is omitted). The mutable version (which requires the array have the
`writeable` flag) is available as `a.mutable_unchecked<...>()`.
Specifying the Dimensions as a template parameter allows storage of an
std::array; having the strides and sizes stored that way (as opposed to
storing a copy of the array's strides/shape pointers) allows the
compiler to make significant optimizations of the shape() method that it
can't make with a pointer; testing with nested loops of the form:
for (size_t i0 = 0; i0 < r.shape(0); i0++)
for (size_t i1 = 0; i1 < r.shape(1); i1++)
...
r(i0, i1, ...) += 1;
over a 10 million element array gives around a 25% speedup (versus using
a pointer) for the 1D case, 33% for 2D, and runs more than twice as fast
with a 5D array.
* Minor doc syntax fix
The numpy documentation had a bad :file: reference (was using double
backticks instead of single backticks).
* Changed long-outdated "example" -> "tests" wording
The ConstructorStats internal docs still had "from example import", and
the main testing cpp file still used "example" in the module
description.
* Clarify PYBIND11_NUMPY_DTYPE documentation
The current documentation and example reads as though
PYBIND11_NUMPY_DTYPE is a declarative macro along the same lines as
PYBIND11_DECLARE_HOLDER_TYPE, but it isn't. The changes the
documentation and docs example to make it clear that you need to "call"
the macro.
* Add satisfies_{all,any,none}_of<T, Preds>
`satisfies_all_of<T, Pred1, Pred2, Pred3>` is a nice legibility-enhanced
shortcut for `is_all<Pred1<T>, Pred2<T>, Pred3<T>>`.
* Give better error message for non-POD dtype attempts
If you try to use a non-POD data type, you get difficult-to-interpret
compilation errors (about ::name() not being a member of an internal
pybind11 struct, among others), for which isn't at all obvious what the
problem is.
This adds a static_assert for such cases.
It also changes the base case from an empty struct to the is_pod_struct
case by no longer using `enable_if<is_pod_struct>` but instead using a
static_assert: thus specializations avoid the base class, POD types
work, and non-POD types (and unimplemented POD types like std::array)
get a more informative static_assert failure.
* Prefix macros with PYBIND11_
numpy.h uses unprefixed macros, which seems undesirable. This prefixes
them with PYBIND11_ to match all the other macros in numpy.h (and
elsewhere).
* Add long double support
This adds long double and std::complex<long double> support for numpy
arrays.
This allows some simplification of the code used to generate format
descriptors; the new code uses fewer macros, instead putting the code as
different templated options; the template conditions end up simpler with
this because we are now supporting all basic C++ arithmetic types (and
so can use is_arithmetic instead of is_integral + multiple
different specializations).
In addition to testing that it is indeed working in the test script, it
also adds various offset and size calculations there, which
fixes the test failures under x86 compilations.
This commit includes modifications that are needed to get pybind11 to work with PyPy. The full test suite compiles and runs except for a last few functions that are commented out (due to problems in PyPy that were reported on the PyPy bugtracker).
Two somewhat intrusive changes were needed to make it possible: two new tags ``py::buffer_protocol()`` and ``py::metaclass()`` must now be specified to the ``class_`` constructor if the class uses the buffer protocol and/or requires a metaclass (e.g. for static properties).
Note that this is only for the PyPy version based on Python 2.7 for now. When the PyPy 3.x has caught up in terms of cpyext compliance, a PyPy 3.x patch will follow.
