[C++-sig] (Stefan Seefeld) pass function pointerto c

Hi Stefan,

I saw this indexing method. I want to expose float* to python, so that
boost::python::object(float*,float*) is callable in c extension.

But here float* is not a class. If even I "typedef float* vector;", then
expose vector as following,
 class_<vector>("Vec")
        .def(vector_indexing_suite<vector>())
    ;

it will report a error."error: `float*' is not a class, struct, or union
type"

Could you tell me how to expose it?

Thanks.
