Hi,
I am trying to wrap methods like this:
void SetMac (std::string type,
std::string n0 = "", const AttributeValue &v0 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n1 = "", const AttributeValue &v1 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n2 = "", const AttributeValue &v2 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n3 = "", const AttributeValue &v3 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n4 = "", const AttributeValue &v4 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n5 = "", const AttributeValue &v5 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n6 = "", const AttributeValue &v6 =
EmptyAttributeValue (),
std::string n7 = "", const AttributeValue &v7 =
EmptyAttributeValue ());
The problem I am having is that class AttributeValue is abstract and cannot
be instantiated. Normally in pybindgen I handle default values like this:
PyParameter *pyParam = NULL;
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords("...|O!", ..., &PyParameter_Type, &pyParam);
[...]
CallMyMethod ((pyParam? pyParam->obj : <Param Default Value>));
For instance,, if <Param Default> is ns3::EmptyAttributeValue(), I get a
compilation error:
debug/bindings/python/ns3_module_helper.cc:83: error: cannot allocate an
object of abstract type 'ns3::AttributeValue'
debug/ns3/attribute.h:52: note: since type 'ns3::AttributeValue' has pure
virtual functions
One solution to this problem would be the following:
PyParameter *pyParam = NULL;
<Param Default Type> paramDefault = <Param Default Value>;
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords("...|O!", ..., &PyParameter_Type, &pyParam);
[...]
CallMyMethod ((pyParam? pyParam->obj : paramDefault));
The above code would compile; I tested. The problem is that pygccxml does
not give me the type of the default parameter value, and of course the type
of the parameter itself is useless in these cases (it is abstract).
Any suggestion would be welcome.
