[C++-sig] RE: Passing default argument

[Goudar Basavaraj (IFIN DC SMS)]

Hi Nikolay,

	Thanks for the info.  I tried this but am getting error saying 
	"arg undeclared". I tried including few headers but could not
resolve the problem.
	What could be the solution.


Thanks & Regards,
Basavaraj

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(overload) 
{ 
	class_<A>("A") 
	.def("F",&A::f, (arg("a")=2,arg("b")=4,arg("c")=10,arg("d")=4) )) 
	; 
}
