Thanks David I will try explain more about my problems with ownership:
I already expose this problem before here the ideas not fit yet.
This is my problem.
attention: I can't change the c++ code;
struct object
{
object(object *parent=0)
{
//if (parent): append myself in parent child list (parent take
ownership of object, parent will delete this object)
}
void set_parent(object *parent)
{
//the same case of constructor: if parent is null remove old parent
}
void add_child(object *child)
{
//add child in my children list get ownership
}
void remove_child(object *child)
{
//remove child from my list, give back the ownership to the child object
}
~object()
{ // destroy all children; }
private:
list<object*> children;
}
this is a simple example how c++ code works, we have allot of others
functions to get ownership of a object, then is impossible rewrite all
functions like in the boost python FAQ example:
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#ownership)
I thinking about create a call policy to do this for me. One for take
ownership and another to restore ownership.
I'm trying do something like that, I don't know if this is the best
idea, sugestions are welcome:
class<object_wrapper>("object", init< optional<object*>
>()[parent_child_policy_add<2,1>()])
.def("set_parent", &object::set_parent,
parent_child_policy_add<2,1>()) //this case (index 2 = arg1) = parent
object, (index 1 = self) = child object
.def("remove_child", &object::remove_child,
parent_child_policy_remove<1,2>() //this case self is the parent and
arg1 is the child
I know how implement a call policy and get access to PyObject from
child and parent. What I don't know is how inform to boost to not
delete c++ object during the python object destructor (in
parent_child_policy_add) because this will be done by the parent, or
inform to boost to delete the c++ object (in
parent_child_policy_remove) because the object no have parent.
