[C++-sig] BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS question

[eric andersonT]

In this statement from my example below:

	class<C>( "C", "class C", init<> )
		.def( "bar", &C::bar, bar_overloads( args( "a" ),
"returns object of class B" )
	;

The function bar() is a member of class C. It has a default parameter in
it's declaration. I'm using the macro
BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS to generate the variants of the
function with default parameters supplied and not supplied. The function
itself returns a pointer that needs to be adopted by python. I need to
specify this to boost. I don't know the syntax for this when wrapping
the function using the BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS macro.

Please elaborate.  What do you mean by that question?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the macro in the email subject and
how to specify return_value_policy<manage_new_object>() using it.

Where does it fit into this (untested pseudo-c++):

struct A
{
	int a;
};
struct B
{
	A* foo();
};
struct C
{
	B* bar( int a=0 );
};

BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS( bar_overloads, C::bar, 0, 1 );

void GlueToPython()
{
	using boost::python;
	class<A>( "A", "class A", init<> )
	;
	class<B>( "B", "class B", init<> )
		.def( "foo", &B::foo, "returns object of class A",
return_value_policy<manage_new_object>() )
	;
	class<C>( "C", "class C", init<> )
		// NEEDED HERE: return_value_policy<manage_new_object>()
		.def( "bar", &C::bar, bar_overloads( args( "a" ),
"returns object of class B" )
	;
}


Thank you,

Eric
