Hi,
I usually use shared_ptrs to const as function parameters, such as
boost::shared_ptr<const A>, to explicitly state that this function does
not modify the pointee. Now I'm trying to do the same in boost.python:
----- C++
class A {};
void testA(boost::shared_ptr<A> s) {}
void testAc(boost::shared_ptr<const A> s) {}
void register() {
class_("A")
def("testA", testA);
def("testAc", testAc);
}
void testCPP() {
boost::shared_ptr<A> a(new A());
testA(a);
testAc(a);
}
----- Python
a = A()
testA(a)
testAc(a)
-----
The c++ part compiles and runs just fine, but the python call to
testAc() fails with the following error message:
-----
testAc(a)
ArgumentError: Python argument types in
_Map.testAc(A)
did not match C++ signature:
testAc(class boost::shared_ptr<class Map::A const >)
-----
Is there a way to use the automatic conversion from A to const A in
boost.python?
