/*
Attribute implementation using JOHN E LENZ ideas.
The following macros convert a pair of set/get methods
into a "native" attribute.
Use %attribute when you have a pair of get/set methods
like in:
%attribute(A, int, a, get_a, set_a);
struct A
{
int get_a() const;
void set_a(int aa);
};
If you don't provide a 'set' method, a 'read-only' attribute
is generated, ie, like in:
%attribute(A, int, c, get_c);
Use %attribute_ref when you have const/non-const reference
access methods, like in:
%attribute_ref(A, int, b);
struct A
{
const int& b() const;
int& b();
};
%attribute_ref(B, int, c);
struct B
{
int& c();
};
You can also use
%attribute_ref(class, type, refname, attr);
if the internal C++ reference methods have a different name from the
attribute you want.
Then you can use the instances like:
x = A()
x.a = 3 # calls A::set_a
print x.a # calls A::get_a
x.b = 3 # calls A::b()
print x.b # calls A::b() const
NOTE: remember that if the type contains commas, such as
'std::pair<int,int>', you need to use the macro like:
%attribute_ref(A, %arg(std::pair<int,int>), pval);
where %arg() 'normalize' the type to be understood as a single
argument, otherwise the macro will get confused (see the 'cpp'
documentation).
