[pygccxml-development] Py++ generates wrappers for final classes

[Julian S. <jul...@rs...>]

Hello,

I've run into a problem with Py++ (both with 0.9.0 and with trunk) when 
trying to expose a class like this:

   class Foo
   {
    public:
     virtual void bar() {}
    private:
     Foo() {}
   };

Py++ will generate a wrapper for Foo (since it contains a virtual 
function) when it shouldn't. Firstly, the generated code will not 
compile because the wrapper is derived from Foo and Foo cannot be used 
as a base class (Foo is final because it has no public or protected 
constructors.)

And it doesn't make sense to generate a wrapper for Foo in the first 
place because Foo is final, and so function bar() cannot be overridden 
anyway.

In the long term, I guess the proper fix is to not create wrappers for 
final classes. Is there a short-term workaround for this problem? I 
tried using finalize() from goodie_utils but that didn't work unfortunately.

Thanks,

Julian
