The bug related to exposing free operators was fixed. Many thanks to Andrei Vermel. - -2. Few bugs were fixed for 64Bit platform. Many thanks to Carsten. - -3. :mod:`ctypes` backend was introduced - :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` is able to - generate Python code, which uses :mod:`ctypes` package to call functions in - DLLs or shared libraries. - - Massive refactoring, which preserve backward compatibility to previous releases, - was done. - -4. From now on, :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will use `Sphinx <http://sphinx.pocoo.org/>`_ - for all documentation. - -5. :doc:`Indexing Suite V2 <../documentation/indexing_suite_v2.html>` introduces - few backward compatibility changes. The indexing suite became "headers only" - library and doesn't requier Boost.Python library patching. - See ":doc:`../documentation/containers`" document for more information. - -6. Support for `std::hash_map<...>` and `std::hash_set<...>` containers was added. - ------------ -Version 1.0 ------------ - -1. The algorithm, which calculates what member functions should be redefined in - derived class wrappers, was improved. Many thanks to Julian Scheid for the bug - fix. - - The change explanation. - - .. code-block:: c++ - - struct A{ - virtual void foo() {} - }; - - class B: public A{ - }; - - Previous version of :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` didn't generate wrapper for class ``B``, even - though ``B`` inherits ``A``'s virtual function. Now if you have the following - Python code: - - .. code-block:: python - - class C(B): - def __init__( self ): - B.__init__(self) - def foo(self): - print "C.foo" - - then when ``foo`` is invoked on this instance on the C++ side of things, the - Python code won't be executed as the wrapper was missing. - - **Warning!** **There is a possibility that your generated code will not work!** - **Keep reading.** - - If you use "function transformation" functionality, than it is possible the - generated code will **NOT** work. Consider the following example: - - .. code-block:: c++ - - struct A{ - virtual void foo(int& i) {/*do smth*/} - }; - - class B: public A{ - virtual void foo(int& i) {/*do smth else*/} - }; - - The :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` code: - - .. code-block:: python - - from pyplusplus import module_builder - from pyplusplus import function_transformers as FT - - mb = module_builder_t( ... ) - foo = mb.mem_funs( 'foo' ) - foo.add_transformation( FT.output(0) ) - - The generated code, for class ``B``, is: - - .. code-block:: c++ - - namespace bp = boost::python; - - struct B_wrapper : B, bp::wrapper< B > { - virtual void foo( int & i ) const { ... } - - static boost::python::tuple default_foo( ::B const & inst ) - { ... } - - virtual void foo( int & i ) const - { ... } - - static boost::python::object default_foo( ::A const & inst ) - { ... } - }; - ... - bp::class_< B_wrapper, bp::bases< A > >( "B" ) - .def( "foo", (boost::python::tuple (*)( ::B const & ))( &B_wrapper::default_foo ) ) - .def( "foo", (boost::python::object (*)( ::A const & ))( &B_wrapper::default_foo ) ); - - As you can see, after applying the transformation both functions have same - signature. Do you know what function will be called in some situation? I do - - the wrong one :-(. - - Unfortunately, there is no easy work around or some trick that you can use, - which will not break the existing code. I see few solutions to the problem: - - * change the alias of the functions - - .. code-block:: python - - from pyplusplus import module_builder - from pyplusplus import function_transformers as FT - - mb = module_builder_t( ... ) - foo = mb.mem_funs( '::A::foo' ).add_transformation( FT.output(0), alias="foo_a" ) - foo = mb.mem_funs( '::B::foo' ).add_transformation( FT.output(0), alias="foo_b" ) - - * use ``inout`` transformation - it preserves a function signature - - * :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` can introduce a configuration, that will preserve the previous behaviour. - I think this is a wrong way to go and doing the API changes is the 'right' - longer term solution. - - If you **absolutely need** to preserve API backward compatible, contact me - and I will introduce such configuration option. - - Sorry for inconvenience. - -2. Few bugs, related to Indexing Suite 2, were fixed. Many thanks to Oliver Schweitzer - for reporting them. - -3. New and highly experimental feature was introduced - - :doc:`Boost.Python and ctypes integration <../documentation/ctypes/ctypes_integration>`. - -4. Support for :doc:`boost::python::make_constructor <../documentation/functions/make_constructor>` functionality was added. - -5. Support for unions and unnamed classes was added. - -6. Doxygen documentation extractor was improved. Many thanks to Hernán Ordiales. - -7. Py++ documentation was improved. Many thanks to Bernd Fritzke. - -------------- -Version 0.9.5 -------------- - -1. Bug fixes: - - * Py++ will not expose free operators, if at least one of the classes, it works - on, is not exposed. - Many thanks to Meghana Haridev for reporting the bug. - -2. Added ability to completely disable warnings reporting. - -3. All logging is now done to ``stderr`` instead of ``stdout``. - -4. Generated code improvements: - - * ``default_call_policies`` is not generated - - * ``return_internal_reference`` call policies - default arguments are not - generated - - * STD containers are generated without default arguments. For example instead - of ``std::vector< int, std::allocator< int > >``, in many cases :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will - generate ``std::vector< int >``. - -5. :doc:`create_with_signature <../documentation/functions/overloading>` algorithm was improved. - :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will generate correct code in one more use case. - -6. Added ability to exclude declarations from being exposed, if they will cause - compilation to fail. - -7. Starting from this version, :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` provides a complete solution for - :doc:`multi-module development <../documentation/multi_module_development>`. - -8. Classes, which expose C arrays will be registered only once. - -9. Starting from this version, :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` supports a code generation with different - encodings. - -10. There is a new strategy to split code into files. It is IDE friendly. Be sure - to read :doc:`the updated documentation <../documentation/split_module>`. - -------------- -Version 0.9.0 -------------- - -1. Bug fixes: - - * Declaration of virtual functions that have an exception specification with - an empty throw was fixed. Now the exception specification is generated properly. - Many thanks to Martin Preisler for reporting the bug. - -2. Added exposing of copy constructor, ``operator=`` and ``operator<<``. - - * ``operator=`` is exposed under "assign" name - - * ``operator<<`` is exposed under "__str__" name - -3. Added new call policies: - - * :doc:`as_tuple <../documentation/functions/call_policies/as_tuple>` - - * :doc:`custom_call_policies <../documentation/functions/call_policies/return_range>` - - * :doc:`return_range <../documentation/functions/call_policies/return_range>` - -4. Added an initial support for multi-module development. Now you can mark your - declarations as ``already_exposed`` and :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will do the rest. For more - information read :doc:`multi-module development guide <../documentation/multi_module_development>`. - -.. line-separator - -5. :doc:`input_c_buffer <../documentation/functions/transformation/input_c_buffer>` - new functions - transformation, which allows to pass a Python sequence to function, instead of pair of arguments: pointer to buffer and size. - -6. Added ability to control generated "include" directives. Now you can ask :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` - to include a header file, when it generates code for some declaration. For more - information refers to `inserting code guide`_. - -.. _`inserting code guide` : ../documentation/inserting_code.html#header-files - -7. Code generation improvements: system header files ( Boost.Python or Py++ defined ) - will be included from the generated files only in case the generated code - depends on them. - -8. Performance improvements: Py++ runs 1.5 - 2 times faster, than the previous one. - -9. Added ability to add code before overridden and default function calls. - For more information refer to `member function API documentation`_. - -.. _`member function API documentation` : ../documentation/apidocs/pyplusplus.decl_wrappers.calldef_wrapper.member_function_t-class.html - -10. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will generate documentation for automatically constructed properties. - For more information refer to :doc:`properties guide <../documentation/properties>`. - -11. Added iteration functionality to Boost.Python Indexing Suite V2 ``std::map`` - and ``std::multimap`` containers. - -------------- -Version 0.8.5 -------------- - -1. Added :doc:`Function Transformation <../documentation/functions/transformation/transformation>` feature. - -2. "Py++" introduces new functionality, which allows you to control messages and - warnings: :doc:`how to disable warnings? <../documentation/warnings>`. - -3. Added new algorithm, which controls the registration order of the functions. - See :doc:`registration order document <../documentation/functions/registration_order>` - -4. New "Py++" defined :doc:`return_pointee_value <../documentation/functions/call_policies/return_pointee_value>` - call policy was introduced. - -5. Support for opaque types was added. Read more about this feature `here`__. - -.. __ : ../documentation/functions/call_policies/call_policies.html#special-case - -6. It is possible to configure "Py++" to generate faster ( compilation time ) - code for indexing suite version 2. See API documentation. - -7. The algorithm, which finds all class properties was improved. It provides - user with a better way to control properties creation. A property that would - hide another exposed declaration will not be registered\\created. - -8. Work around for "custom smart pointer as member variable" Boost.Python bug - was introduced. - -9. Bugs fixes and documentation improvement. - - -------------- -Version 0.8.2 -------------- - -1. Interface changes: - - * ``module_builder.module_builder_t.build_code_creator`` method: - argument ``create_casting_constructor`` was removed and deprecation warning - was introduced. - -2. Performance improvements. In some cases you can get x10 performance boost. - Many thanks to Allen Bierbaum! Saving and reusing results of different - :doc:`pygccxml <../../pygccxml/pygccxml>` algorithms and type traits functions achieved this. - -3. Convenience API for registering exception translator was introduced. - -4. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` can generate code that uses ``BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS`` and - ``BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS`` macros. - -5. Treatment to previously generated and no more in-use files was added. By - default :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will delete these files, but of course you can redefine this - behaviour. - -6. Generated code changes: - - * ``default_call_policies`` should not be generated any more. - - * For functions that have ``return_value_policy< return_opaque_pointer >`` - call policy, :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will automatically generate ``BOOST_PYTHON_OPAQUE_SPECIALIZED_TYPE_ID`` - macro. Thank you very much for Gottfried Ganssauge for this idea. - -7. Support for Boost.Python properties was introduced. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` implements small - algorithm, that will automatically discover properties, base on naming conventions. - -8. ``decl_wrappers.class_t`` has new function: ``is_wrapper_needed``. This - function explains why :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` creates class wrapper for exposed class. - -9. Python type traits module was introduce. Today it contains only single function: - - * ``is_immutable`` - returns ``True`` if exposed type is Python immutable type - - - -------------- -Version 0.8.1 -------------- - - -1. Georgiy Dernovoy contributed a patch, which allows :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` GUI to - save\\load last used header file. - - -2. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` improved a lot functionality related to providing feedback to user: - - * every package has its own logger - * only important user messages are written to ``stdout`` - * user messages are clear - -3. Support for Boost.Python indexing suite version 2 was implemented. - -4. Every code creator class took ``parent`` argument in ``__init__`` method. - This argument was removed. ``adopt_creator`` and ``remove_creator`` will - set\unset reference to parent. - -5. Generated code for member and free functions was changed. This changed was - introduced to fix compilation errors on msvc 7.1 compiler. - -6. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` generates "stable" code. If header files were not changed, - :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will not change any file. - -7. Support for huge classes was added. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` is able to split registration - code for the class to multiple cpp files. - -8. User code could be added almost anywhere, without use of low level API. - -9. Generated source files include only header files you passes as an argument - to module builder. - -10. Bug fixes. - -11. Documentation was improved. - - -Project name changed --------------------- - -In this version the project has been renamed from "pyplusplus" to "Py++". -There were few reasons to this: - -1. I like "Py++" more then "pyplusplus". - -2. "Py++" was the original name of the project: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2005-July/009280.html - -3. Users always changed the name of the projects. I saw at least 6 different names. - - - -------------- -Version 0.8.0 -------------- - -1. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` "user guide" functionality has been improved. Now :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` - can answer few questions: - - * why this declaration could not be exported - - * why this function could not be overridden from Python - -2. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` can suggest an alias for exported classes. - -3. Small redesign has been done - now it is much easier to understand and - maintain code creators, which creates code for C++ functions. - -4. Exception specification is taken into account, when :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` exports - member functions. - -5. Member variables, that are pointers exported correctly. - -6. Added experimental support for ``vector_indexing_suite``. - -7. Bug fixes. - -------------- -Version 0.7.0 -------------- - -Many thanks to *Matthias Baas* and *Allen Bierbaum*! They contributed so much to -Py++, especially Matthias: - - * New high-level API: :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` has simple and powerful API - - * Documentation: Matthias and Allen added a lot of documentation strings - - * Bug fixes and performance improvements - -1. New GUI features: - - * It is possible now to see XML generated by GCC-XML. - - * It is possible to use GUI as wizard. It will help you to start with - :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>`, by generating :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` code. - -2. **Attention - non backward compatible change**. - - ``module_creator.creator_t.__init__`` method has been changed. ``decls`` - argument could be interpreted as - - * list of all declaration to be exported - - * list of top-level declarations. ``creator_t`` should export all - declarations recursively. - - In order to clarify the use of ``decls`` argument new argument ``recursive`` - has been added. By default new value of ``recursive`` is ``False``. - - Guide for users/upgraders: if use are exporting all declaration without - filtering, you should set ``recursive`` argument to ``True``. If you use - ``pygccxml.declarations.filtering.*`` functions, you have nothing to do. - - Sorry for the inconvenience :-(. - -3. Better split of extension module to files. From now the following declarations will - have dedicated file: - - * named enumerations, defined within namespace - * unnamed enumerations and global variables - * free functions - - This functionality will keep the number of instantiated templates within - one file, ``main.cpp``, to be very low. Also it is possible to implement - solution, where ``main.cpp`` file does not contain templates instantiations - at all. - -4. Only constant casting operators could be used with ``implicitly_convertible``. - This bug has been fixed. - -5. Bug exporting non copyable class has been fixed. - -6. Small bug fix - from now file with identical content will not be overwritten. - -7. Boost.Python ``optional`` is now supported and used when a constructor has a - a default argument. - -8. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` now generates correct code for hierarchy of abstract classes: - - .. code-block:: c++ - - struct abstract1{ - virtual void do_smth() = 0; - } - - struct abstract2 : public abstract1{ - virtual void do_smth_else() = 0; - } - - struct concrete : public abstract2{ - virtual void do_smth(){}; - virtual void do_smth_else(){}; - } - -9. Logging functionality has been added - -10. New packages ``module_builder``, ``decl_wrappers`` and ``_logging_`` has - been added. - -11. ... - -http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/init.html#optional-spec - -------------- -Version 0.6.0 -------------- - -1. Code repository has been introduced. This repository contains classes - and functions that will help users to export different C++ classes and - declarations. Right now this repository contains two classes: - - * *array_1_t* - - * *const_array_1_t* - - Those classes helps to export static, single dimension arrays. - -2. Code generation has been improved. - -3. Code generation speed has been improved. - -4. If you have Niall Douglas *void\** patch, then you can enjoy from - automatically set call policies. - -5. Bit fields can be accessed from Python - -6. Creating custom code creator example has been added. - -7. Comparison to Pyste has been wrote. - -8. Using this version it is possible to export most of TnFOX Python bindings. - -------------- -Version 0.5.1 -------------- - -1. operator() is now supported. - -2. Special casting operators are renamed( *__int__*, *__str__*, ... ). - -3.

New "Py++" defined :doc:`return_pointee_value <../documentation/functions/call_policies/return_pointee_value>` + call policy was introduced. + +5. Support for opaque types was added. Read more about this feature `here`__. + +.. __ : ../documentation/functions/call_policies/call_policies.html#special-case + +6. It is possible to configure "Py++" to generate faster ( compilation time ) + code for indexing suite version 2. See API documentation. + +7. The algorithm, which finds all class properties was improved. It provides + user with a better way to control properties creation. A property that would + hide another exposed declaration will not be registered\\created. + +8. Work around for "custom smart pointer as member variable" Boost.Python bug + was introduced. + +9. Bugs fixes and documentation improvement. + + +------------- +Version 0.8.2 +------------- + +1. Interface changes: + + * ``module_builder.module_builder_t.build_code_creator`` method: + argument ``create_casting_constructor`` was removed and deprecation warning + was introduced. + +2. Performance improvements. In some cases you can get x10 performance boost. + Many thanks to Allen Bierbaum! Saving and reusing results of different + :doc:`pygccxml <../../pygccxml/pygccxml>` algorithms and type traits functions achieved this. + +3. Convenience API for registering exception translator was introduced. + +4. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` can generate code that uses ``BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS`` and + ``BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS`` macros. + +5. Treatment to previously generated and no more in-use files was added. By + default :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will delete these files, but of course you can redefine this + behaviour. + +6. Generated code changes: + + * ``default_call_policies`` should not be generated any more. + + * For functions that have ``return_value_policy< return_opaque_pointer >`` + call policy, :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will automatically generate ``BOOST_PYTHON_OPAQUE_SPECIALIZED_TYPE_ID`` + macro. Thank you very much for Gottfried Ganssauge for this idea. + +7. Support for Boost.Python properties was introduced. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` implements small + algorithm, that will automatically discover properties, base on naming conventions. + +8. ``decl_wrappers.class_t`` has new function: ``is_wrapper_needed``. This + function explains why :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` creates class wrapper for exposed class. + +9. Python type traits module was introduce. Today it contains only single function: + + * ``is_immutable`` - returns ``True`` if exposed type is Python immutable type + + + +------------- +Version 0.8.1 +------------- + + +1. Georgiy Dernovoy contributed a patch, which allows :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` GUI to + save\\load last used header file. + + +2. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` improved a lot functionality related to providing feedback to user: + + * every package has its own logger + * only important user messages are written to ``stdout`` + * user messages are clear + +3. Support for Boost.Python indexing suite version 2 was implemented. + +4. Every code creator class took ``parent`` argument in ``__init__`` method. + This argument was removed. ``adopt_creator`` and ``remove_creator`` will + set\unset reference to parent. + +5. Generated code for member and free functions was changed. This changed was + introduced to fix compilation errors on msvc 7.1 compiler. + +6. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` generates "stable" code. If header files were not changed, + :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` will not change any file. + +7. Support for huge classes was added. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` is able to split registration + code for the class to multiple cpp files. + +8. User code could be added almost anywhere, without use of low level API. + +9. Generated source files include only header files you passes as an argument + to module builder. + +10. Bug fixes. + +11. Documentation was improved. + + +Project name changed +-------------------- + +In this version the project has been renamed from "pyplusplus" to "Py++". +There were few reasons to this: + +1. I like "Py++" more then "pyplusplus". + +2. "Py++" was the original name of the project: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2005-July/009280.html + +3. Users always changed the name of the projects. I saw at least 6 different names. + + + +------------- +Version 0.8.0 +------------- + +1. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` "user guide" functionality has been improved. Now :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` + can answer few questions: + + * why this declaration could not be exported + + * why this function could not be overridden from Python + +2. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` can suggest an alias for exported classes. + +3. Small redesign has been done - now it is much easier to understand and + maintain code creators, which creates code for C++ functions. + +4. Exception specification is taken into account, when :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` exports + member functions. + +5. Member variables, that are pointers exported correctly. + +6. Added experimental support for ``vector_indexing_suite``. + +7. Bug fixes. + +------------- +Version 0.7.0 +------------- + +Many thanks to *Matthias Baas* and *Allen Bierbaum*! They contributed so much to +Py++, especially Matthias: + + * New high-level API: :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` has simple and powerful API + + * Documentation: Matthias and Allen added a lot of documentation strings + + * Bug fixes and performance improvements + +1. New GUI features: + + * It is possible now to see XML generated by GCC-XML. + + * It is possible to use GUI as wizard. It will help you to start with + :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>`, by generating :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` code. + +2. **Attention - non backward compatible change**. + + ``module_creator.creator_t.__init__`` method has been changed. ``decls`` + argument could be interpreted as + + * list of all declaration to be exported + + * list of top-level declarations. ``creator_t`` should export all + declarations recursively. + + In order to clarify the use of ``decls`` argument new argument ``recursive`` + has been added. By default new value of ``recursive`` is ``False``. + + Guide for users/upgraders: if use are exporting all declaration without + filtering, you should set ``recursive`` argument to ``True``. If you use + ``pygccxml.declarations.filtering.*`` functions, you have nothing to do. + + Sorry for the inconvenience :-(. + +3. Better split of extension module to files. From now the following declarations will + have dedicated file: + + * named enumerations, defined within namespace + * unnamed enumerations and global variables + * free functions + + This functionality will keep the number of instantiated templates within + one file, ``main.cpp``, to be very low. Also it is possible to implement + solution, where ``main.cpp`` file does not contain templates instantiations + at all. + +4. Only constant casting operators could be used with ``implicitly_convertible``. + This bug has been fixed. + +5. Bug exporting non copyable class has been fixed. + +6. Small bug fix - from now file with identical content will not be overwritten. + +7. Boost.Python ``optional`` is now supported and used when a constructor has a + a default argument. + +8. :doc:`Py++ <../pyplusplus>` now generates correct code for hierarchy of abstract classes: + + .. code-block:: c++ + + struct abstract1{ + virtual void do_smth() = 0; + } + + struct abstract2 : public abstract1{ + virtual void do_smth_else() = 0; + } + + struct concrete : public abstract2{ + virtual void do_smth(){}; + virtual void do_smth_else(){}; + } + +9. Logging functionality has been added + +10. New packages ``module_builder``, ``decl_wrappers`` and ``_logging_`` has + been added. + +11. ... + +http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/init.html#optional-spec + +------------- +Version 0.6.0 +------------- + +1. Code repository has been introduced. This repository contains classes + and functions that will help users to export different C++ classes and + declarations. Right now this repository contains two classes: + + * *array_1_t* + + * *const_array_1_t* + + Those classes helps to export static, single dimension arrays. + +2. Code generation has been improved. + +3. Code generation speed has been improved. + +4. If you have Niall Douglas *void\** patch, then you can enjoy from + automatically set call policies. + +5. Bit fields can be accessed from Python + +6. Creating custom code creator example has been added. + +7. Comparison to Pyste has been wrote. + +8. Using this version it is possible to export most of TnFOX Python bindings. + +------------- +Version 0.5.1 +------------- + +1. operator() is now supported. + +2. Special casting operators are renamed( *__int__*, *__str__*, ... ). + +3.
