[C++-sig] pybindgen: allow_subclassing option causing reference parameters to be copied?

[J. Michael Owen]

I pulled down your bazaar branch and merged it with my own changes (I  
need to use the container methods, inplace numeric operators, and  
numeric operators with built in python  types, so I have to keep using  
my changes for now), and now reference parameters are working just  
fine.  Great!

Since the code I'm binding has probably thousands of reference  
parameters to expose, I've written little helper methods as shorthand  
for the long parameter definition.  This is probably a little  
specialized for what you want, but it might be helpful to include  
something like these (akin to the "param" method you already have in  
utils):

def refparam(cppobj, argname):
     return Parameter.new("%s&" % cppobj, argname,  
direction=Parameter.DIRECTION_INOUT)

def constrefparam(cppobj, argname):
     return Parameter.new(ref("const %s&" % cppobj), argname,  
direction=Parameter.DIRECTION_INOUT)

So on those changes I have for the pybindgen code (allowing the stuff  
I mention above), I'd be happy to modify them to fit in better with  
how you want pybindgen to look if you'd like to give me an idea what  
you're looking for.
