I suggest you to read the following document: http://language-binding.net/pygccxml/query_interface.html It should clarify few things > ################################# > struct Foo { > // example of the sort of method I mean > Foo& setBaz(int baz); // returns reference to self > }; > ################################# > from pyplusplus import module_builder > from pyplusplus.module_builder.call_policies import * > mb = module_builder(...) > # want "something" below... > mb.decls(<something?>).call_policies = return_internal_reference() > ################################# from pygccxml import declarations def is_my_case( f ): if not f.name.startswith( 'set' ): return False rt = f.return_type if not rt: return False parent_ref = declarations.reference_t( declarations.declarated_t( f.parent ) ) return declarations.is_same( parent_ref, rt ) mb.member_functions(is_my_case).call_policies = return_internal_reference() Untested, but you should get the idea. It is also possible to write this query in more efficient form, but this I will leave to you :-) -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
