Dean Moldovan e18bc02fc9 Add default and converting constructors for all concrete Python types
* Deprecate the `py::object::str()` member function since `py::str(obj)`
  is now equivalent and preferred

* Make `py::repr()` a free function

* Make sure obj.cast<T>() works as expected when T is a Python type

`obj.cast<T>()` should be the same as `T(obj)`, i.e. it should convert
the given object to a different Python type. However, `obj.cast<T>()`
usually calls `type_caster::load()` which only checks the type without
doing any actual conversion. That causes a very unexpected `cast_error`.
This commit makes it so that `obj.cast<T>()` and `T(obj)` are the same
when T is a Python type.

* Simplify pytypes converting constructor implementation

It's not necessary to maintain a full set of converting constructors
and assignment operators + const& and &&. A single converting const&
constructor will work and there is no impact on binary size. On the
other hand, the conversion functions can be significantly simplified.

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

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

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

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

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

Resolves #436.

* Almost always use return_value_policy::move for rvalues

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

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

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

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

Resolves #446.

Jason Rhinelander b3794f1087 Added py::register_exception for simple case (#296)
The custom exception handling added in PR #273 is robust, but is overly
complex for declaring the most common simple C++ -> Python exception
mapping that needs only to copy `what()`.  This add a simpler
`py::register_exception<CppExp>(module, "PyExp");` function that greatly
simplifies the common basic case of translation of a simple CppException
into a simple PythonException, while not removing the more advanced
capabilities of defining custom exception handlers.

Jason Rhinelander 7dfb932e70 Update OVERLOAD macros to support ref/ptr return type overloads
This adds a static local variable (in dead code unless actually needed)
in the overload code that is used for storage if the overload is for
some convert-by-value type (such as numeric values or std::string).

This has limitations (as written up in the advanced doc), but is better
than simply not being able to overload reference or pointer methods.

Jason Rhinelander ec62d977c4 Implement py::init_alias<>() constructors
This commit adds support for forcing alias type initialization by
defining constructors with `py::init_alias<arg1, arg2>()` instead of
`py::init<arg1, arg2>()`.  Currently py::init<> only results in Alias
initialization if the type is extended in python, or the given
arguments can't be used to construct the base type, but can be used to
construct the alias.  py::init_alias<>, in contrast, always invokes the
constructor of the alias type.

It looks like this was already the intention of
`py::detail::init_alias`, which was forward-declared in
86d825f330, but was apparently never
finished: despite the existance of a .def method accepting it, the
`detail::init_alias` class isn't actually defined anywhere.

This commit completes the feature (or possibly repurposes it), allowing
declaration of classes that will always initialize the trampoline which
is (as I argued in #397) sometimes useful.

Jason Rhinelander 6b52c838d7 Allow passing base types as a template parameter
This allows a slightly cleaner base type specification of:

    py::class_<Type, Base>("Type")

as an alternative to

    py::class_<Type>("Type", py::base<Base>())

As with the other template parameters, the order relative to the holder
or trampoline types doesn't matter.

This also includes a compile-time assertion failure if attempting to
specify more than one base class (but is easily extendible to support
multiple inheritance, someday, by updating the class_selector::set_bases
function to set multiple bases).

Jason Rhinelander 5fffe200e3 Allow arbitrary class_ template option ordering
The current pybind11::class_<Type, Holder, Trampoline> fixed template
ordering results in a requirement to repeat the Holder with its default
value (std::unique_ptr<Type>) argument, which is a little bit annoying:
it needs to be specified not because we want to override the default,
but rather because we need to specify the third argument.

This commit removes this limitation by making the class_ template take
the type name plus a parameter pack of options.  It then extracts the
first valid holder type and the first subclass type for holder_type and
trampoline type_alias, respectively.  (If unfound, both fall back to
their current defaults, `std::unique_ptr<type>` and `type`,
respectively).  If any unmatched template arguments are provided, a
static assertion fails.

What this means is that you can specify or omit the arguments in any
order:

    py::class_<A, PyA> c1(m, "A");
    py::class_<B, PyB, std::shared_ptr<B>> c2(m, "B");
    py::class_<C, std::shared_ptr<C>, PyB> c3(m, "C");

It also allows future class attributes (such as base types in the next
commit) to be passed as class template types rather than needing to use
a py::base<> wrapper.

This allows exposing a dict-like interface to python code, allowing

while still allowing iteration over pairs, so that you can also
implement 'dict.items()' functionality which returns a pair iterator,
allowing:

    for k, v in custommapping.items():
        ...

example-sequences-and-iterators is updated with a custom class providing
both types of iteration.

2016-08-05 18:03:06 -04:00
Jason Rhinelander 0ca96e2915 Added advanced doc section on virtual methods + inheritance
As discussed in #320.

The adds a documentation block that mentions that the trampoline classes
must provide overrides for both the classes' own virtual methods *and*
any inherited virtual methods.  It also provides a templated solution to
avoiding method duplication.

The example includes a third method (only mentioned in the "see also"
section of the documentation addition), using multiple inheritance.
While this approach works, and avoids code generation in deep
hierarchies, it is intrusive by requiring that the wrapped classes use
virtual inheritance, which itself is more instrusive if any of the
virtual base classes need anything other than default constructors.  As
per the discussion in #320, it is kept as an example, but not suggested
in the documentation.

Functions returning specialized Eigen matrices like Eigen::DiagonalMatrix and

into a Matrix (by definition), and so we can support functions that
return them by copying the value into a Matrix then casting that
resulting dense Matrix into a numpy.ndarray.  This commit does exactly
that.

Wenzel Jakob 86d825f330 Redesigned virtual call mechanism and user-facing syntax (breaking change!)
Sergey Lyskov pointed out that the trampoline mechanism used to override
virtual methods from within Python caused unnecessary overheads when
instantiating the original (i.e. non-extended) class.

This commit removes this inefficiency, but some syntax changes were
needed to achieve this. Projects using this features will need to make a
few changes:

In particular, the example below shows the old syntax to instantiate a
class with a trampoline:

class_<TrampolineClass>("MyClass")
    .alias<MyClass>()
    ....

This is what should be used now:

class_<MyClass, std::unique_ptr<MyClass, TrampolineClass>("MyClass")
    ....

Importantly, the trampoline class is now specified as the *third*
argument to the class_ template, and the alias<..>() call is gone. The
second argument with the unique pointer is simply the default holder
type used by pybind11.

Wenzel Jakob 876eeab4ca redesigned format_descriptor<> and npy_format_descriptor<>
This somewhat heavyweight solution will avoid size_t/long long/long/int
mismatches on various platforms once and for all. The previous template
overloads could e.g. not handle size_t on Darwin.

One gotcha: the 'format_descriptor<T>::value()' syntax changed to just
'format_descriptor<T>::value'

Wenzel Jakob b2c2c79240 improved handling of shared/smart pointers
Previously, pybind11 required classes using std::shared_ptr<> to derive
from std::enable_shared_from_this<> (or compilation failures would ensue).

Everything now also works for classes that don't do this, assuming that
some basic rules are followed (e.g. never passing "raw" pointers of
instances manged by shared pointers). The safer
std::enable_shared_from_this<> approach continues to be supported.

Wenzel Jakob 6eb11da94a Very minor documentation fixes, updated logo 2016-01-17 22:31:15 +01:00
Wenzel Jakob 66c9a40213 Much more efficient generation of function signatures, updated docs
This modification taps into some newer C++14 features (if present) to
generate function signatures considerably more efficiently at compile
time rather than at run time.

With this change, pybind11 binaries are now *2.1 times* smaller compared
to the Boost.Python baseline in the benchmark. Compilation times get a
nice improvement as well.

Visual Studio 2015 unfortunately doesn't implement 'constexpr' well
enough yet to support this change and uses a runtime fallback.
2016-01-17 22:31:15 +01:00
Wenzel Jakob 2ac5044a05 moved processing of cpp_function arguments out of dispatch code
The cpp_function class accepts a variadic argument, which was formerly
processed twice -- once at registration time, and once in the dispatch
lambda function. This is not only unnecessarily slow but also leads to
code bloat since it adds to the object code generated for every bound
function. This change removes the second pass at dispatch time.

One noteworthy change of this commit is that default arguments are now
constructed (and converted to Python objects) right at declaration time.
Consider the following example:

py::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
    .def("myFunction", py::arg("arg") = SomeType(123));

In this case, the change means that pybind11 must already be set up to
deal with values of the type 'SomeType', or an exception will be thrown.
Another change is that the "preview" of the default argument in the
function signature is generated using the __repr__ special method. If
it is not available in this type, the signature may not be very helpful,
i.e.:

|  myFunction(...)
|      Signature : (MyClass, arg : SomeType = <SomeType object at 0x101b7b080>) -> None

One workaround (other than defining SomeType.__repr__) is to specify the
human-readable preview of the default argument manually using the more
cumbersome arg_t notation:

py::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
    .def("myFunction", py::arg_t<SomeType>("arg", SomeType(123), "SomeType(123)"));

Tomasz Miąsko ca77130be8 Use object class to hold partially converted python objects.
Using object class to hold converted object automatically deallocates
object if an exception is thrown or scope is left before constructing
complete Python object.

Additionally added method object::release() that allows to release
ownership of python object without decreasing its reference count.
