I have an overloaded constructor in C++ (default + other). My automatically generated pybind code looks like this:
py::class_<MyClass>(m, "MyClass")
.def(
py::init<>(),
py::kw_only()
)
.def(
py::init<
std::valarray<std::string>
>(),
py::kw_only(),
py::arg("my_var")
)
When I delete the first constructor everything works fine. But for the first one I get this error:
error: static assertion failed: py::kw_only requires the use of argument annotations
static_assert(has_arg_annotations || !has_kw_only_args,
"py::kw_only requires the use of argument annotations"
Does anyone know why this error is coming up and how to fix it?
Edit: I am using a custom pybind generator.
Thanks @463035818_is_not_a_number for pointing me in the right direction. I was confused cause I mixed up kw_only
with **kwargs
. kw_only means, that only named arguments are allowed when calling a function which doesn't make sense without arguments.
My custom pybind generator added kw_only to all functions and the build failed because of that. As a solution I added an if-condition to check whether there are function arguments and only added kw_only if there are any:
if (args.size() > 0) { out << "\n";
out << ">()," << "\n"
<< "py::kw_only()";}
else {
out << ">()";
}
The generated pybind code looks like this:
py::class_<MyClass>(m, "MyClass")
.def(
py::init<>()
)
.def(
py::init<
std::valarray<std::string>
>(),
py::kw_only(),
py::arg("my_var")
)
