This commit allows type_casters to allow their local values to be moved
away, rather than copied, when the type caster instance itself is an rvalue.
This only applies (automatically) to type casters using
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER; the generic type type casters don't own their own
pointer, and various value casters (e.g. std::string, std::pair,
arithmetic types) already cast to an rvalue (i.e. they return by value).
This updates various calling code to attempt to get a movable value
whenever the value is itself coming from a type caster about to be
destroyed: for example, when constructing an std::pair or various stl.h
containers. For types that don't support value moving, the cast_op
falls back to an lvalue cast.
There wasn't an obvious place to add the tests, so I added them to
test_copy_move_policies, but also renamed it to drop the _policies as it
now tests more than just policies.
This changes javadoc-style documenting comments from:
/** Text starts here
* and continues here
*/
to:
/**
* Test starts here
* and continues here
*/
which looks a little better, and also matches the javadoc-recommended
way of writing documenting comments.
Using a dynamic_cast instead of a static_cast is needed to safely cast
from a base to a derived type. The previous static_pointer_cast isn't
safe, however, when downcasting (and fails to compile when downcasting
with virtual inheritance).
Switching this to always use a dynamic_pointer_cast shouldn't incur any
additional overhead when a static_pointer_cast is safe (i.e. when
upcasting, or self-casting): compilers don't need RTTI checks in those
cases.
Python 2 requires both `__div__` and `__truediv__` (and variants) for
compatibility with both regular Python 2 and Python 2 under `from
__future__ import division`. Without both, division fails in one or the
other case.
The Python method for /= was set as `__idiv__`, which should be
`__itruediv__` under Python 3.
This wasn't totally broken in that without it defined, Python constructs
a new object by calling __truediv__. The operator tests, however,
didn't actually test the /= operator: when I added it, I saw an extra
construction, leading to the problem. This commit also includes tests
for the previously untested *= operator, and adds some element-wise
vector multiplication and division operators.
Under gcc, the `static internals *internals_ptr` is shared across .so's,
which breaks for obvious reasons.
This commit fixes it by moving the static pointer declaration into a
pybind-version-templated function.
Currently, `py::int_(1).cast<variant<double, int>>()` fills the `double`
slot of the variant. This commit switches the loader to a 2-pass scheme
in order to correctly fill the `int` slot.
Many of our `is_none()` checks in type caster loading return true, but
this should really be considered a deferral so that, for example, an
overload with a `py::none` argument would win over one that takes
`py::none` as a null option.
This keeps None-accepting for the `!convert` pass only for std::optional
and void casters. (The `char` caster already deferred None; this just
extends that behaviour to other casters).
Under gcc 7 with -std=c++11, compilation results in several of the
following warnings:

This appears to be happening because gcc is considering implicit
construction of `descr` in some places using addition of two
`descr`-compatible arguments in the `descr.h` c++11 fallback code.
There's no particular reason that this operator needs to be a friend
function: this commit changes it to an rvalue-context member function
operator, which avoids the warning.
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.
Under MSVC we were ignoring PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD and simply not
passing any standard (which makes MSVC default to its C++14 mode).
MSVC 2015u3 added the `/std:c++14` and `/std:c++latest` flags; the
latter, under MSVC 2017, enables some C++17 features (such as
`std::optional` and `std::variant`), so it is something we need to
start supporting under MSVC.
This makes the PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD cmake variable work under MSVC,
defaulting it to /std:c++14 (matching the default -std=c++14 for
non-MSVC).
It also adds a new appveyor test running under MSVC 2017 with
/std:c++latest, which runs (and passes) the
`std::optional`/`std::variant` tests.
Also updated the documentation to clarify the c++ flags and add show
MSVC flag examples.
The PYBIND11_CPP14 macro started out as a guard for the compile-time
path code in `descr.h`, but has since come to mean other things. This
means that while the `descr.h` check has just checked the
`PYBIND11_CPP14` macro, various other places now check `PYBIND11_CPP14
|| _MSC_VER`. This reverses that by now setting the CPP14 macro when
MSVC is trying to support C++14, but disabling the `descr.h` C++14 code
(which still fails under MSVC 2017).
The CPP17 macro also gets enabled when MSVC 2017 is compiling with
/std:c++latest (the default is /std:c++14), which enables
`std::optional` and `std::variant` support under MSVC.
GCC 7 generates (when compiling in C++11/14 mode) warnings such as:
mangled name for ‘pybind11::class_<type_, options>&
pybind11::class_<type_, options>::def(const char*, Func&&, const Extra&
...) [with Func = int (test_exc_sp::C::*)(int) noexcept; Extra = {};
type_ = test_exc_sp::C; options = {}]’ will change in C++17 because the
exception specification is part of a function type [-Wnoexcept-type]
There's nothing we can actually do in the code to avoid this, so just
disable the warning.
GCC supports `deprecated(msg)` since v4.5 and VS supports the standard
[[deprecated(msg)]] since 2015 RTM.
The deprecated constructor change from `= default` to `{}` is
a workaround for a VS2015 bug.
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.
`EigenConformable::stride_compatible` returns false if the strides are
negative. In this case, do not use `EigenConformable::stride`, as it
is {0,0}. We cannot write negative strides in this element, as Eigen
will throw an assertion if we do.
The `type_caster` specialization for regular, dense Eigen matrices now
does a second `array_t::ensure` to copy data in case of negative strides.
I'm not sure that this is the best way to implement this.
I have added "TODO" tags linking these changes to Eigen bug #747, which,
when fixed, will allow Eigen to accept negative strides.
If a bound std::function is invoked with a bound method, the implicit
bound self is lost because we use `detail::get_function` to unbox the
function. This commit amends the code to use py::function and only
unboxes in the special is-really-a-c-function case. This makes bound
methods stay bound rather than unbinding them by forcing extraction of
the c function.
Enumerations on Python 2.7 were not always implicitly converted to
integers (depending on the target size). This patch adds a __long__
conversion function (only enabled on 2.7) which fixes this issue.
The attached test case fails without this patch.
This removes the convert-from-arithemtic-scalar constructor of
any_container as it can result in ambiguous calls, as in:
py::array_t<float>({ 1, 2 })
which could be intepreted as either of:
py::array_t<float>(py::array_t<float>(1, 2))
py::array_t<float>(py::detail::any_container({ 1, 2 }))
Removing the convert-from-arithmetic constructor reduces the number of
implicit conversions, avoiding the ambiguity for array and array_t.
This also re-adds the array/array_t constructors taking a scalar
argument for backwards compatibility.
The job is using the released clang and stable-branch libc++, which
wasn't the case when it was added. Leave the g++7/c++17 in
allow_failures for now as it's still a pre-release compiler (and pulled
from debian experimental).
Python 3's `PyInstanceMethod_Type` hides itself via its `tp_descr_get`,
which prevents aliasing methods via `cls.attr("m2") = cls.attr("m1")`:
instead the `tp_descr_get` returns a plain function, when called on a
class, or a `PyMethod`, when called on an instance. Override that
behaviour for pybind11 types with a special bypass for
`PyInstanceMethod_Types`.
The Unicode support added in 2.1 (PR #624) inadvertently broke accepting
`bytes` as std::string/char* arguments. This restores it with a
separate path that does a plain conversion (i.e. completely bypassing
all the encoding/decoding code), but only for single-byte string types.
The numpy API constants can check past the end of the API array if the
numpy version is too old thus causing a segfault. The current list of
functions requires numpy >= 1.7.0, so this adds a check and exception if
numpy is too old.
The added feature version API element was added in numpy 1.4.0, so this
could still segfault if loaded in 1.3.0 or earlier, but given that
1.4.0 was released at the end of 2009, it seems reasonable enough to
not worry about that case. (1.7.0 was released in early 2013).
This commits adds base class pointers of offset base classes (i.e. due
to multiple inheritance) to `registered_instances` so that if such a
pointer is returned we properly recognize it as an existing instance.
Without this, returning a base class pointer will cast to the existing
instance if the pointer happens to coincide with the instance pointer,
but constructs a new instance (quite possibly with a segfault, if
ownership is applied) for unequal base class pointers due to multiple
inheritance.
When we are returned a base class pointer (either directly or via
shared_from_this()) we detect its runtime type (using `typeid`), then
end up essentially reinterpret_casting the pointer to the derived type.
This is invalid when the base class pointer was a non-first base, and we
end up with an invalid pointer. We could dynamic_cast to the
most-derived type, but if *that* type isn't pybind11-registered, the
resulting pointer given to the base `cast` implementation isn't necessarily valid
to be reinterpret_cast'ed back to the backup type.
This commit removes the "backup" type argument from the many-argument
`cast(...)` and instead does the derived-or-pointer type decision and
type lookup in type_caster_base, where the dynamic_cast has to be to
correctly get the derived pointer, but also has to do the type lookup to
ensure that we don't pass the wrong (derived) pointer when the backup
type (i.e. the type caster intrinsic type) pointer is needed.
Since the lookup is needed before calling the base cast(), this also
changes the input type to a detail::type_info rather than doing a
(second) lookup in cast().
This breaks up the instance management functions in class_support.h a
little bit so that other pybind11 code can use it. In particular:
- added make_new_instance() which does what pybind11_object_new does,
but also allows instance allocation without `value` allocation. This
lets `cast.h` use the same instance allocation rather than having its
own separate implementation.
- instance registration is now moved to a
`register_instance()`/deregister_instance()` pair (rather than having
individual code add or remove things from `registered_instances`
directory).
- clear_instance() does everything `pybind11_object_dealloc()` needs
except for the deallocation; this is helpful for factory construction
which needs to be able to replace the internals of an instance without
deallocating it.
- clear_instance() now also calls `dealloc` when `holder_constructed`
is true, even if `value` is false. This can happen in factory
construction when the pointer is moved from one instance to another,
but the holder itself is only copied (i.e. for a shared_ptr holder).
I got some unexpected errors from code using `overload_cast` until I
realized that I'd configured the build with -std=c++11.
This commit adds a fake `overload_cast` class in C++11 mode that
triggers a static_assert failure indicating that C++14 is needed.
We currently fail at runtime when trying to call a method that is
overloaded with both static and non-static methods. This is something
python won't allow: the object is either a function or an instance, and
can't be both.
Adding numpy to the pypy test exposed a segfault caused by the buffer
tests in test_stl_binders.py: the first such test was explicitly skipped
on pypy, but the second (test_vector_buffer_numpy) which also seems to
cause an occasional segfault was just marked as requiring numpy.
Explicitly skip it on pypy as well (until a workaround, fix, or pypy fix
are found).
Various bash variables that are only used in the travis-ci script and
don't need to propagate (e.g. to cmake) are being pointlessly exported;
this removes these `export`s.
This uses the trusty container rather than docker for the clang 4.0
build. It also caches the local libc++ installation so that it doesn't
need to be compiled every time, which should speed up the job
considerably.
