Scripting and C++ are not 1:1. It might not be necessary to set parameter classification to 'siClassifTopo' in C++.
I don't know the answer.

Defining the data type your operator reads/writes is done via port connections. CustomOperator.AddInputPort() and CustomOperator.AddOutputPort(), for example.

I understand I need to classify that operator siClassifTopo, but not sure how to do that in c++ (the c++ methods for CreateParamDef in factory don't have the option to specify the classification that the object model has). what would be the right way to go about it?
