[PyQt] How does PyQt handle inlined functions?

[Dimitar Dobrev]

    I am curious about how it works because I develop bindings for Qt myself. They are for C#, you can find the code at https://github.com/ddobrev/QtSharp. I compile C++ wrappers for inlines myself but I was wondering if there was some cleaner way.

    Regards,

The wrapper code is C++. To see how it works, download the source files for
PyQt and look in the sip directory. This contains sip files for the Qt
classes.

When you run configure.py, C++ code is generated in the directories called
QtCore, QtGui, and so on. You can see how the C++ functions are handled by
looking at the wrapper code for QModelIndex which can be found in the
QtCore/sipQtCoreQModelIndex.cpp file.

For example, the function that handles column() is meth_QModelIndex_column().

Are you having problems with debugging inlined functions, or are you just
curious about how it all works?

David
