[C++-sig] Returning PyObject and return_internal_reference<>

[Václav Haisman]

Hi,
I am trying to return a new Python buffer that is a view to internals of
my Message object. My understanding is that in such case, I should use
return_internal_reference<> to make the return value hold reference to
the Message class because of this bit of PyBuffer_FromMemory() docs:
"The caller is responsible for ensuring that the memory buffer, passed
in as ptr, is not deallocated while the returned buffer object exists."

The problem is that whatever approach I could think of results into
uncompilable code. (See the attached file.) I am using Boost 1.37.0.

Is there any other way that I can do this?
