I have a simple test case:

class Foo { public: const int& getX() const {return x;} void setX(const int& x_) {x = x_;}

private: int x; };

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(module) { class_<Foo>("Foo") .def("getX", &Foo::getX) ; }

The problem is that I cannot wrap getX and I get a compiler error. How is it possible to wrap getX WITHOUT changing anything in Foo?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I totally affiliate myself to this problem. The only difference is that i do not return a const reference but rather a reference. So maybe we can find a solution for this together :-) Greetings! -- Erik Tuerke Department of Neurophysics Max-Planck-Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstrasse 1A 04103 Leipzig Germany Tel: +49 341 99 40-2440 Email: tuerke@cbs.mpg.de www.cbs.mpg.de

Does this works for you?? class Foo { public: const int& getX() const {return x;} void setX(const int& x_) {x = x_;} private: int x; }; BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(module) { class_<Foo>("Foo") .def("getX", &Foo::getX, return_value_policy<return_by_value>()) ; } With Regards, Abhishek Srivastava -----Original Message----- From: cplusplus-sig-bounces+abhishek.srivastava=nechclst.in@python.org on behalf of Panos Sent: Mon 10/25/2010 7:04 PM To: cplusplus-sig@python.org Subject: [C++-sig] Wrapping method that returns const int& (boost::python) I have a simple test case: class Foo { public: const int& getX() const {return x;} void setX(const int& x_) {x = x_;} private: int x; }; BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(module) { class_<Foo>("Foo") .def("getX", &Foo::getX) ; } The problem is that I cannot wrap getX and I get a compiler error.
