I have seen this page before but I have also never tried as I was looking
for a fast solution.
I was thinking to use boost::shared_ptr because I want to do something like:
// Python code (mystring is boost::shared_ptr<std::string>)
if object.mystring:
print 'my string: ', object.mystring
Knowing that:
- If boost::shared_ptr attribute is not initialized, its value is 0)
- I use add_property
Any workaround?
