A function pointer can not be wrapped in a way so that an arbitrary
python function can be used as a (callback) argument. This is due to C/C++
restrictions, see
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#funcptr
Basically, a C/C++ function pointer needs to exist at compile time and
doesn't
have state while Python functions are stateful objects that come to life at
runtime.
If you have control over the C++ code you could change the signature to
take
a boost::python::object as an argument and call that, something like
//Instead of actually wrapping these...
char const * call(char const * (*func)()) {
std::cout << "--> call" << std::endl;
return (*func)();
}
char const * call_int(char const * (*func)(int), int i) {
std::cout << "--> call_int" << std::endl;
return (*func)(i);
}
// ...we expose these *instead* - note that the original call()/call_int()
aren't used at all
namespace bp = boost::python;
char const * call_wrap(bp::object &func) {
bp::object result = func();
return bp::extract<char const *>(result);
}
char const * call_int_wrap(bp::object &func, int i) {
bp::object result = func(i);
return bp::extract<char const *>(result);
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(func_ptr)
{
bp::def("call", &call_wrap);
bp::def("call_int", &call_int_wrap);
};
