Assigning pointer to PySwigObject in Boost

Hi all

I'm working with Boost.Python at the moment and have to do the
following:
-Using Boost, assign a char* in C++ to a PySwigObject (SWIG exposed
object) of type uchar*, which is received in C++ as a
boost::python:: object class.

The uchar* pointer in the PySwigObject points to a buffer containing
image data. All I wish to do is assign a C++ pointer that is also
pointing to a buffer with image data to the PySwigObject pointer and
send it back to Python. The PySwigObject is part of the CvMat class
used with OpenCV for image-processing in Python. It is already wrapped
in SWIG, so I CANNOT change it. I've already been to the python Wiki
that explains how to extract SWIG exposed pointers in python (http://
wiki.python.org/moin/boost.python/HowTo), but this does NOT tell me
how to do the opposite: assigning C++ pointers to SWIG exposed
pointers with Boost.

Any tips or tricks to get this working?

Thanks

Will

Hi, there. Recently I was working on a problem where we want to save generic closures in a data structure (a vector). The closure should work for any data type and any method with pre-defined signature. When developing this lib, I figured that the pointer-to-member-function, although seemingly an attractive solution, does not work well for us.

Hi all I have a conundrum that is puzzling me. I have a large codebase in C that I am converting to C++ as fast as possible (i.e. slowly because I keep learning new idioms and stumbling with C++ 'features'). One part of the C code is some optimisation functions that expect a pointer to a function which is sent an array of doubles and returns a double i.e. simplified..

Can I declare a pure virtual member function which accepts as input a boost shared pointer to an object of a base class, such that - concrete implementations of the function can redirect the pointer to a new object - clients of the function can pass in as input a boost shared pointer to an object of a derived class ? Consider the following classes in the problem domain:

Hello. I have written a simple reference-counting smart pointer class template called RefCountPtr<T>.

Hi, basically, the test function get a char pointer, and assigned a string to it. then the string is passed back by the call-by-reference mechanism. in test(), I reallocate some memory for the pointer, the size is not fixed. I remember, all new statement should be followed by a delete statement, is there some memory leak here?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
