15  // Data management for potential rvalue conversions from Python to C++
16  // types. When a client requests a conversion to T* or T&, we
17  // generally require that an object of type T exists in the source
18  // Python object, and the code here does not apply**. This implements
19  // conversions which may create new temporaries of type T. The classic
20  // example is a conversion which converts a Python tuple to a
21  // std::vector. Since no std::vector lvalue exists in the Python
22  // object -- it must be created "on-the-fly" by the converter, and
23  // which must manage the lifetime of the created object.
24  //
25  // Note that the client is not precluded from using a registered
26  // lvalue conversion to T in this case. In other words, we will
27  // happily accept a Python object which /does/ contain a std::vector
28  // lvalue, provided an appropriate converter is registered. So, while
29  // this is an rvalue conversion from the client's point-of-view, the
30  // converter registry may serve up lvalue or rvalue conversions for
31  // the target type.
32  //
33  // ** C++ argument from_python conversions to T const& are an
34  // exception to the rule for references: since in C++, const
35  // references can bind to temporary rvalues, we allow rvalue
36  // converters to be chosen when the target type is T const& for some
37  // T.
38  namespace boost { namespace python { namespace converter {
39  
40  // Conversions begin by filling in and returning a copy of this
41  // structure. The process looks up a converter in the rvalue converter
42  // registry for the target type. It calls the convertible() function
43  // of each registered converter, passing the source PyObject* as an
44  // argument, until a non-null result is returned. This result goes in
45  // the convertible field, and the converter's construct() function is
46  // stored in the construct field.
47  //
48  // If no appropriate converter is found, conversion fails and the
49  // convertible field is null. When used in argument conversion for
50  // wrapped C++ functions, it causes overload resolution to reject the
51  // current function but not to fail completely. If an exception is
52  // thrown, overload resolution stops and the exception propagates back
53  // through the caller.
54  //
55  // If an lvalue converter is matched, its convertible() function is
56  // expected to return a pointer to the stored T object; its
57  // construct() function will be NULL. The convertible() function of
58  // rvalue converters may return any non-singular pointer; the actual
59  // target object will only be available once the converter's
60  // construct() function is called.
