Automated binding generation (and maintenance)

Hi, I have been looking at the problem of automated binding generation (and maintenance) for large C++ code bases for a little while now [1], but am new to cppyy. One issue I am struggling to find a good solution for is to generate an accurate list of the objects (classes, functions, variables etc) in a given header file in order to populate the selection .XML. Ideally, I'd like to be able to say "all objects in this translation unit". I tried the wildcard "*" but I believe that selects the transitive fanout (and runs into errors). Short of running Clang directly to generate the names, what options do I have? (Currently, I'm working around this by manually specifying a narrower wildcard such as "KJS*"). Also, as I looked around for approaches to this issue, I noted that the cppyy backend v610 5 source code has a "getAllClasses" whereas PyPI has 6.10.0.2. I'm not sure of the mapping of versions, but what is the cadence for updates to PyPI? [1] https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=150464598710128&w=2

dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'cffi_modules'
by David Callahan 07 Oct '17

Has anyone experience building the package cryptography-1.9 using PyPy and setup.py? In the build phase I encounter this diagnostic …/python/pypy.5.8/…/lib-python/3/distutils/dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'cffi_modules' but the stage seems to complete without error. Is this expected or suspicious? Thanks david

distutils configuration
by David Callahan 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

I need to adjust the default configuration used by “distutils” for compilation. In my default build of branch release-pypy3.5-5.x, the toplevel “distutils.sysconfig” dispatches as follows: if '__pypy__' in sys.builtin_module_names: from distutils.sysconfig_pypy import * from distutils.sysconfig_pypy import _config_vars # needed by setuptools and sysconfig_pypy.py unconditionally sets some configuration variables such as “CC” and “LDSHARED”. CPython reads from a configuration file which can be change with an environment variable and it is this technique we use. This does not yet seem supported in PyPy’s alternate implementation “distutils.sysconfig_cpython.py” Two questions: Generally, why are there are two implementations of sysconfig and what motivates the default choice? What changes are recommended to allow a configuration file here? Thanks david
