* Make `overload_cast_impl` available in C++11 mode.

Narrow the scope of the `#if defined(PYBIND11_CPP14)` block around overload_cast to only
cover the parts where C++14 is stricly required. Thus, the implementation in
`pybind11::details::overload_cast_impl` is still available in C++11 mode.

5b0ea77c62 Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warning on Clang. (#1863)
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.

1aa8dd1745 Fix assertion failure for unions (#1685) (#1709)
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.

95f750a87d Add optional buffer size to pythonbuf::d_buffer constructor (#1687)
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).

e7761e3383 Fix potential crash when calling an overloaded function (#1327)
* 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

f4245181ae enum_: move most functionality to a non-template implementation
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.

b4b2292488 relax operator[] for tuples, lists, and sequences
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.

stl.h: propagate return value policies to type-specific casters (#1455)
* 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.

221fb1e11e Untangle cast logic to not implicitly require castability (#1442)
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.

58e551cc73 Properly report exceptions thrown during module initialization.
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.

Minor fix for MSVC warning CS4459 (#1374)
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'

fd9bc8f54d Add basic support for tag-based static polymorphism (#1326)
* 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.

289e5d9cc2 Implement an enum_ property "name"
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.

6862cb9b35 Add workaround for clang 3.3/3.4
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

6d0b4708c6 Reimplement version check and combine init macros
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.
