PR #309 broke scoped enums, which failed to compile because the added:
value == value2
comparison isn't valid for a scoped enum (they aren't implicitly
convertible to the underlying type). This commit fixes it by
explicitly converting the enum value to its underlying type before
doing the comparison.
It also adds a scoped enum example to the constants-and-functions
example that triggers the problem fixed in this commit.
Eigen::Ref is a common way to pass eigen dense types without needing a
template, e.g. the single definition `void
func(Eigen::Ref<Eigen::MatrixXd> x)` can be called with any double
matrix-like object.
The current pybind11 eigen support fails with internal errors if
attempting to bind a function with an Eigen::Ref<...> argument because
Eigen::Ref<...> satisfies the "is_eigen_dense" requirement, but can't
compile if actually used: Eigen::Ref<...> itself is not default
constructible, and so the argument std::tuple containing an
Eigen::Ref<...> isn't constructible, which results in compilation
failure.
This commit adds support for Eigen::Ref<...> by giving it its own
type_caster implementation which consists of an internal type_caster of
the referenced type, load/cast methods that dispatch to the internal
type_caster, and a unique_ptr to an Eigen::Ref<> instance that gets
set during load().
There is, of course, no performance advantage for pybind11-using code of
using Eigen::Ref<...>--we are allocating a matrix of the derived type
when loading it--but this has the advantage of allowing pybind11 to bind
transparently to C++ methods taking Eigen::Refs.
This changes the exception error message of a bad-arguments error to
suppress the constructor argument when the failure is a constructor.
This changes both the "Invoked with: " output to omit the object
instances, and rewrites the constructor signature to make it look
like a constructor (changing the first argument to the object name, and
removing the ' -> NoneType' return type.
GCC-6 adds a -Wplacement-new warning that warns for placement-new into a
space that is too small, which is sometimes being triggered here (e.g.
example5 always generates the warning under g++-6). It's a false
warning, however: the line immediately before just checked the size, and
so this line is never going to actually be reached in the cases where
the GCC warning is being triggered.
This localizes the warning disabling just to this one spot as there are
other placement-new uses in pybind11 where this warning could warn about
legitimate future problems.
This commit adds an additional _ template function for compile-time
selection between two description strings. This in turn allows the
elimination of needing two name() methods in type_caster<arithmetic
types> and type_caster<eigen types>, which allows them to start using
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER instead, simplifying their code by eliminating all
the code that they are duplicating from the macro.
In eigen.h, type_caster<Type>::load(): For the 'ndim == 1' case, use
the 'InnerStride' type because there is only an inner stride for a
vector. Choose between (n_elts x 1) or (1 x n_elts) according to
whether we're constructing a Vector or a RowVector.
