How to wrap methode Get with Boost.Python?
First, I suggest you take your question to the C++-sig (http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#cplussig).
class MyClass { public: MyClass();
void GetX(double &pos_x); [...]
I'v tried it with:
.def( "GetX" , &::MyClass::GetX , bp::arg("") , bp::return_value_policy<bp::return_arg<1>() >()
But when I try it in python:
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in MyClass.GetX(MyClass, int) did not match C++ signature: GetX(class MyClass::LedPosition_C {lvalue}, int {lvalue} )
Any ideas?
return_value_policy is only good for telling Boost.Python how to handle the actual (non-void) return value of your C++ function. In your case, create a thin wrapper function: double GetX2(MyClass& self, double pos_x) { self.GetX(pos_x); return pos_x; } and wrap that instead of GetX: .def("GetX", GetX2) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
