Yes - Boost.Python is the art of template and preprocessor meta programming. I guess, GCCXML fails to dump those template instantiations. > Is there any chance I could work on a solution, or have experienced > developers already given up? If you have experience with gcc code base, than I guess you will be able to solve the problem. In any case, gccxml mailing list is a better place to discuss this bug ( http://www.gccxml.org/mailman/listinfo/gccxml ) > Do you have some references of other attempts to solve the problem?

Py++ doesn't support this use case, for the reason above. If you have a lot of code, that uses Boost.Python classes, than we can work together to patch Py++, otherwise you can use the following functionality: http://www.language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/inserting_code.html HTH -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
