Support C++20. For backwards compatibility, we provide an alias for the old name.
This change is necessary to easily avoid errors when a compiler thinks
`module` is used as a keyword.
* Wrap PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_NAME and PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_PURE_NAME in do { ... } while (false), and resolve trailing semicolon
* Deprecate PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_* and get_overload in favor of PYBIND11_OVERRIDE_* and get_override
* Correct erroneous usage of 'overload' instead of 'override' in the implementation and internals
* Fix tests to use non-deprecated PYBIND11_OVERRIDE_* macros
* Update docs to use override instead of overload where appropriate, and add warning about deprecated aliases
* Add semicolons to deprecated PYBIND11_OVERLOAD macros to match original behavior
* Remove deprecation of PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_* macros and get_overload
* Add note to changelog and upgrade guide
This commit also adds `doc()` to `object_api` as a shortcut for the
`attr("__doc__")` accessor.
The module macro changes from:
```c++
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
pybind11::module m("example", "pybind11 example plugin");
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
return m.ptr();
}
```
to:
```c++
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
}
```
Using the old macro results in a deprecation warning. The warning
actually points to the `pybind11_init` function (since attributes
don't bind to macros), but the message should be quite clear:
"PYBIND11_PLUGIN is deprecated, use PYBIND11_MODULE".
* Make 'any' the default markup role for Sphinx docs
* Automate generation of reference docs with doxygen and breathe
* Improve reference docs coverage
- new pybind11::base<> attribute to indicate a subclass relationship
- unified infrastructure for parsing variadic arguments in class_ and cpp_function
- use 'handle' and 'object' more consistently everywhere
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.
