Dear list, how can I combine make_constructor() and BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS()?
I have a static member function in a class that "acts like a constructors", in the sense that it returns a shared pointer to the class. The function has default arguments, thats why I was thinking of using BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS. For usual member functions I've been using it like this: BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(Operator_apply, apply, 2, 5) [...] .def("apply", &ClassT::apply, Operator_apply() ) So for the constructor I thought probably I should use it like BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(fPfemSpace_create, create, 2, 3) [...] .def("__init__", make_constructor( &ClassT::create ), fPfemSpace_create()) but that fails with the error: /usr/include/boost/python/class.hpp:598:37: error: no matching function for call to 'get_signature' name, overloads, *this, detail::get_signature(sig)); I tried out a few other variations for ".def(" but I didn't find the right one yet. Is there a way to combine make_constructor with BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS? -Holger _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
