Methods returning non const references
Hi Friends,
As mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/CadQuery/OCP/issues/121 Some OCCT methods return a read-write refererence, if it is an object it is ok, but when the reference is to a primitive type there is a problem to use that in python.
I need to use math_Matrix in an algorithm in python, but the c++ object is updated using non const references returned by auto operator(int, int) -> double&.
In C++:
void something(math_Matrix& m) {
m(1,5) = 0.5;
}
In python this has no sense:
from OCP.math import math_Matrix
def something(m: math_Matrix):
m(1,5) = 0.5
Same problem with math_Vector
Maybe methods like:
auto method(int i, int j) -> double&;
can be wraped as two methods like:
def method(i: int, j: int) -> float: ...
def method_s(i: int, j: int, f: float): ...
