[pygccxml-development] FT - name uniqueness

[Roman Y. <rom...@gm...>]

Hi. I would like to propose solution for function name uniqueness problems.

Problem description:

void do_smth( int& );
void do_smth( int&, int& );

If user will specify output_t transformer for both functions the
generate code will
not compile, because Py++ will generate 2 functions with the same signature.

In order to solve this problem, we have to mangle into function name next data:
1. full name ( namespaces, class names )
2. return type information
3. arguments type information
4. template arguments type information

Fortunately every function in pygccxml already has property that
contains all this
information: mangled . I think we can reuse it for this purpose.
Actually we will have to apply base64(
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-base64.html ) encoding in order to
get valid C++
identifier.

Comments?
