You're right, it's definitely a good thing to NOT use macros. :-)
I'm now doing something similar to the scheme you provided. But I need to have
additional marshalling stuff to get from the wrapper back to the native classes
(and vice-versa). This tends to lead to quite some boilerplate code, but I'm
willing to take that.
Three more questings though:
1) In your example, GenericData<> only exports those functions that are
declared virtual or used somewhere in the code. I guess that's something
C++/CLI specific, but is there a way to circumvent this?
2) The [Pythonname] attribute doesn't seem to work for me. When, e.g., I'm
deriving from ISequence, the AddSequence() method does not become __add__ in
python. What can possibly go wrong there? Are these attributes even intended as
public interfaces?
3) Is there an easy way to add free standing functions? Currently, I'm doing
this by either adding delegates, using a callable object or creating static
methods in a class. Delegates are very difficult to use in a generic way and
static methods are difficult to separate into different compiler-units, so I'm
mostly using callable objects.
Thanks!
