The just-updated flake8 package hits a bunch of:
E741 ambiguous variable name 'l'
warnings. This commit renames them all from `l` to `lst` (they are all
list values) to avoid the error.
E.g. trying to convert a `list` to a `std::vector<int>` without
including <pybind11/stl.h> will now raise an error with a note that
suggests checking the headers.
The note is only appended if `std::` is found in the function
signature. This should only be the case when a header is missing.
E.g. when stl.h is included, the signature would contain `List[int]`
instead of `std::vector<int>` while using stl_bind.h would produce
something like `MyVector`. Similarly for `std::map`/`Dict`, `complex`,
`std::function`/`Callable`, etc.
There's a possibility for false positives, but it's pretty low.
To avoid an ODR violation in the test suite while testing
both `stl.h` and `std_bind.h` with `std::vector<bool>`,
the `py::bind_vector<std::vector<bool>>` test is moved to
the secondary module (which does not include `stl.h`).
PR #936 broke the ability to return a pointer to a stl container (and,
likewise, to a tuple) because the added deduced type matched a
non-const pointer argument: the pointer-accepting `cast` in
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER had a `const type *`, which is a worse match for a
non-const pointer than the universal reference template #936 added.
This changes the provided TYPE_CASTER cast(ptr) to take the pointer by
template arg (so that it will accept either const or non-const pointer).
It has two other effects: it slightly reduces .so size (because many
type casters never actually need the pointer cast at all), and it allows
type casters to provide their untemplated pointer `cast()` that will
take precedence over the templated version provided in the macro.
This updates the std::tuple, std::pair and `stl.h` type casters to
forward their contained value according to whether the container being
cast is an lvalue or rvalue reference. This fixes an issue where
subcaster casts were always called with a const lvalue which meant
nested type casters didn't have the desired `cast()` overload invoked.
For example, this caused Eigen values in a tuple to end up with a
readonly flag (issue #935) and made it impossible to return a container
of move-only types (issue #853).
This fixes both issues by adding templated universal reference `cast()`
methods to the various container types that forward container elements
according to the container reference type.
