[C++-sig] variable argument number and BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS

[William Ladwig]

It's making a NULL pointer to a member function of A with an integer argument and a void return type.  

I'm not sure what's going on under the hood with why the NULL is required, but I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that 

void info();
void info(int i);

require two function pointers, but 

void info(int i=0) 

can only use one function pointer.  I suspect that they're trying to handle both cases with the same interface.  I'm just guessing though, so I could be wrong about this.

Regards,
Bill

Thanks, ".def("info", (void(A::*)(int))0, A_info_overloads());" does it.

Could somebody explain what the meaning of this "(void(A::*)(int))0" construct is? Is it a function pointer? Why the 0?
(Just now I am fine with the proposed solution, but if I even understand it, you will read fewer stupid question from me in this list ;-)
