Re: C++ to Python and returning members of a C++ object

Hi Jake,

I have been away from this for a while with other work.

Not sure what you mean here, the only place I use "args " is in:

    Printf(f->code, "SwigContainerReference(args, resultobj); // 
Increment reference count of the container object and add a pointer to 
the container to this in the returned object\n");

And this seems correct, certainly I can't use "self" in place of "args" 
here as the code won't compile. May I ask what change you made here ?

I'm not sure where the SWIG group want to go on this. For the projects 
I'm involved in I need this fix to eliminate the memory faults when 
returning C++ members in Python so I will be creating my own local 
version of SWIG, with my patch applied, for now. But I am keen to try 
and get something like this included in the main tree if possible.

Terry
