pybind11 strives to be a general solution to binding generation, but it also has | |
certain limitations: | |
- pybind11 casts away ``const``-ness in function arguments and return values. | |
This is in line with the Python language, which has no concept of ``const`` | |
values. This means that some additional care is needed to avoid bugs that | |
would be caught by the type checker in a traditional C++ program. | |
- The NumPy interface ``pybind11::array`` greatly simplifies accessing | |
numerical data from C++ (and vice versa), but it's not a full-blown array | |
class like ``Eigen::Array`` or ``boost.multi_array``. | |
These features could be implemented but would lead to a significant increase in | |
complexity. I've decided to draw the line here to keep this project simple and | |
compact. Users who absolutely require these features are encouraged to fork | |
pybind11. | |
