Greetings-
I am attempting to
wrap a shared library on Linux using SIP. This shared library's API defines
several C++ classes that interelate (in both IS-A and HAS-A relationships).
Currently, all the classes are declared in a single .h file.
Questions:
1. What is the
difference between %Import and %Include?
2. Should I define a
single top level .sip file that has the %Module statement and then
%Imports/%Includes each of the .sip files for each class that is being wrapped?
If not, where does the %Module statement go? I am confused bt the PyQt file
qtmod.sip that %Includes other .sip files, but then those .sip files %Import
qtmod.sip.
3. In the PyQt .sip
files, the %Module statement includes a 0 (zero) after the module name. This is
not in the SIP docs. What does it mean?
4. Should the
.sip file for each class %Include or %Import the .sip file for classes that are
referenced by the wrapped class?
5. In many of the
PyQt .sip files, there isn't any %Include or %Imports to define base classes.
How is this so?
6. Is it possible to
add methods to classes in the .sip file that don't exist in (or exist
differently) the wrapped .cpp code? For example, could I add a method that
returns a Python list instead of having the Python client code call
getFirst()/getNext() to enumerate a list of items?
7. Are there any
tools to automate h2sip (at least the basic stuff that can be
automated)?
Thanks for any
help!
Regards,
Don
