[pygccxml-development] py++ and make_contructor

[Damien F. <dam...@mo...>]

Hi ,

so I have class with create function that act a factory function .

typedef boost::smart_ptr<Color> ColorPtr ;

class Color
{
    static ColorPtr create();
    static ColorPtr create(int i);

    private:
    Color();
}

make sense for the c++ side by in python I want to hide that
so I can do

col = Color() # this is actually calling Color.create() ..

       // this code that py++ create
        { //::Color::create
            typedef ::ColorPtr ( *create_function_type )(  );
           
            Color_exposer.def(
                "create"
                , create_function_type( &::Color::create )
                , "Create a color 0 0 0 " );
        }

I found that I can use make_contructor easily and do :
        {
            typedef ::ColorPtr ( *create_function_type )(  );
            Color_exposer.def ("__init__", 
bp::make_constructor(create_function_type(&::Color::create) ) );
        }

so is there a nice way for ne to generate this code for any class that 
have    
static boost::smart_ptr<Class> create(....) methods ?

looking onto the source I saw :

class constructor_transformed_t <cid:par...@mo...>( calldef_t ): 

that doesn something that might be in the right direction for me .

I can see how I would find all the methods that match this style .
and doing all the typed def and thing but it look like I might be able to do 

md.classes().decls('create').make_contructors() :)

well not that simple but something in that direction ?

thanks

the more I get into py++ the more I like it !!
