Hey Gabe,
Could you describe in a little more detail why you want to templatize a
SimObject. Since python doesn't have support for templates, I don't really
like the idea of supporting this.
One option is to have the Python side of the SimObject be the
"specialization" and then you'd just have to implement the
SimObjectParams::create() function to return the specialized template for
each of the types you want to support from Python. Does that make sense?
Maybe this is what you meant by "subclassing"
For instance:
*my_simobject.hh:*
template <type T>
MySimObject public SimObject
{
...
};
*my_simobject.cc:*
MySimObjectIntParams::create() {
return MySimObject<int>(this);
}
MySimObjectFloatParams::create() {
return MySimObject<float>(this);
}
*MySimObject.py:*
class MySimObjectGeneric(SimObject): # I'm not sure if this is exactly
right...
...
<all of the params>
class MySimObjectInt(MySimObjectGeneric):
<header file, etc.>
class MySimObjectFloat(MySimObjectGeneric):
<header file, etc.>
I would say that if the above doesn't work now, we should update things so
it does work. However, I don't think we should do any of this
*automatically* for templated SimObjects.
Cheers,
Jason
