Hello !

I would like to use raw member functions and a raw constructor. However I can only manage to have raw functions to work.

The following code works :

#include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/python/raw_function.hpp> using namespace boost::python;

tuple raw(tuple args, dict kw) { return make_tuple(args, kw); }

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(PythonTest) { def("raw", raw_function(raw)); }

However this code does not compile with MSVC7.1 and results in "error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 2 arguments" :

#include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/python/raw_function.hpp> using namespace boost::python;

class X { public: object memberraw(tuple args, dict kw) { return object(); } };

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(PythonTest) { class_<X>("X") .def("memberraw", raw_function(&X::memberraw)) ; }

As http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/raw_function.html says, f(tuple(), dict()) must be well-formed where f is the argument to raw_function. That's clearly not the case here. This might work: tuple raw(tuple raw, dict kw) { extract<X&>(raw[0])().memberraw(raw.slice(1), kw); } BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(PythonTest) { class_<X>("X") .def("memberraw", raw_function(raw)) ; } -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
