I'm trying to figure out an issue that seems to have to do with the
construct() method in a from-python conversion. I'm converting from a
python string to a custom C++ string class. The c++ string just holds
a reference to a python string using a boost::python::object. My
construct() function looks like this:
struct String_from_python_str
{
. . .
static void construct(
PyObject* obj_ptr,
boost::python::converter::rvalue_from_python_stage1_data* data)
{
using namespace boost::python;
void* storage = (
(converter::rvalue_from_python_storage<String>*)
data)->storage.bytes;
new (storage) String(object(handle<>(obj_ptr))); // <---- Is
this correct? Should it be borrowed?
data->convertible = storage;
}
};
My program has started seeing occasional python reference counting
problems and what appear to be memory corruption problems. I find that
if I use a borrowed() handle when constructing my string, the problems
go away. Is this correct? Or am I doing something totally else wrong
here?
I can't find any documentation re: the "borrowed" nature of obj_ptr,
so I really just assumed that it was a normal, pre-incremented
reference. Any help on this would be great. Thanks.
