Hardcopy of pybind11 instead of using git submodules (#552)
* removed pybind as submodule * added hardcopy of pybind11 2.10.0 * rename pybind11 folder to avoid conflicts when changing branch Co-authored-by: Dhanya Thattil <dhanya.thattil@psi.ch>

Type conversions
|
||||
################
|
||||
|
||||
Apart from enabling cross-language function calls, a fundamental problem
|
||||
that a binding tool like pybind11 must address is to provide access to
|
||||
native Python types in C++ and vice versa. There are three fundamentally
|
||||
different ways to do this—which approach is preferable for a particular type
|
||||
depends on the situation at hand.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use a native C++ type everywhere. In this case, the type must be wrapped
|
||||
using pybind11-generated bindings so that Python can interact with it.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use a native Python type everywhere. It will need to be wrapped so that
|
||||
C++ functions can interact with it.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Use a native C++ type on the C++ side and a native Python type on the
|
||||
Python side. pybind11 refers to this as a *type conversion*.
|
||||
|
||||
Type conversions are the most "natural" option in the sense that native
|
||||
(non-wrapped) types are used everywhere. The main downside is that a copy
|
||||
of the data must be made on every Python ↔ C++ transition: this is
|
||||
needed since the C++ and Python versions of the same type generally won't
|
||||
have the same memory layout.
|
||||
|
||||
pybind11 can perform many kinds of conversions automatically. An overview
|
||||
is provided in the table ":ref:`conversion_table`".
|
||||
|
||||
The following subsections discuss the differences between these options in more
|
||||
detail. The main focus in this section is on type conversions, which represent
|
||||
the last case of the above list.
