[Swig-user] implicit conversion

[Marco C. <mv...@di...>]

hi,

If I have a class

struct B {
  B(int);
  B(float);
  B(char*);
}

and a function 

void bla(B);

then, in C++,  I can call 

bla(4)
bla(3.8)

But when I use the swig'd  python version of this, then I have to explicitely 
say:

bla(B(4))
bla(B(3.8))

How do I turn on the implicit conversions? Or is it not possible?

I tried to use a typemap for this:

$typemap(in) B {
  if PyIntCheck($1) then return B(PyInt($input)) ...
}

but I'm not sure this is the way to go...

Can anyone clarify me on this ?

Thanks!
