Description Brendan Duncan 2009-09-10 17:35:02 EEST

On OSX and Windows, Qt::HANDLE is a typedef of void* instead of usigned long
(as it is on X11). 

 There is no return_value_policy for void*, so any method that returns
Qt::HANDLE will cause the compiler to fail with the error:

error: no match for call to ‘(const
boost::python::detail::specify_a_return_value_policy_to_wrap_functions_returning<void*>)
(void*)’

Comment 1 Brendan Duncan 2009-09-10 20:12:51 EEST

OSMenuRef is also defined as void* in qmacdefines_mac.h,
which is returned by QMenu::macMenu() and QMenuBar::macMenu().  A
return_value_policy also needs to be made for that...unless a generic void*
return policy can be defined.

Another option (which is what I'm doing in the meantime) is to have the methods
that return Qt::HANDLE or OSMenuRef ignored.

<rejection class="*" function-name="handle"/>
<rejection class="*" function-name="macMenu"/>

Implemented a class to wrapper HANDLE in different platforms.
