When a client requests a conversion to T* or T&, we // generally require that an object of type T exists in the source // Python object, and the code here does not apply**. This implements // conversions which may create new temporaries of type T. The classic // example is a conversion which converts a Python tuple to a // std::vector. Since no std::vector lvalue exists in the Python // object -- it must be created "on-the-fly" by the converter, and // which must manage the lifetime of the created object. // // Note that the client is not precluded from using a registered // lvalue conversion to T in this case. In other words, we will // happily accept a Python object which /does/ contain a std::vector // lvalue, provided an appropriate converter is registered. So, while // this is an rvalue conversion from the client's point-of-view, the // converter registry may serve up lvalue or rvalue conversions for // the target type. // // ** C++ argument from_python conversions to T const& are an // exception to the rule for references: since in C++, const // references can bind to temporary rvalues, we allow rvalue // converters to be chosen when the target type is T const& for some // T. namespace boost { namespace python { namespace converter { // Conversions begin by filling in and returning a copy of this // structure. The process looks up a converter in the rvalue converter // registry for the target type. It calls the convertible() function // of each registered converter, passing the source PyObject* as an // argument, until a non-null result is returned. This result goes in // the convertible field, and the converter's construct() function is // stored in the construct field. // // If no appropriate converter is found, conversion fails and the // convertible field is null. When used in argument conversion for // wrapped C++ functions, it causes overload resolution to reject the // current function but not to fail completely. If an exception is // thrown, overload resolution stops and the exception propagates back // through the caller. // // If an lvalue converter is matched, its convertible() function is // expected to return a pointer to the stored T object; its // construct() function will be NULL.
