Hi Sean,
are you stating you want to generate the entire cindex.py automatically?
Or just the table with the method signatures?
I am honestly a little afraid of generating all automatically. This
seems to increase the complexity of the python bindings significantly.
Also, I am not sure how easy we could do performance tuning on such an
automatically generated code or how we could add proper error reporting.
Anders had a similar patch a while back. It generated a standalone .py
file that defined a data structure for all the C functions. This was
used to register functions with a library instance. There was a good
reason we didn't land it then, but I can't recall what. Now that we have
the function definitions in a nice data structure, I wouldn't be opposed
to moving that into a separate file and have that file automatically
generated.
I haven't looked at this patch, but there's no way the entire cindex.py
could be automatically generated: there's too much complex logic (such
as reference tracking to ensure proper GC behavior). The functions and
data structures themselves, no problem!
