Description
WIP: Follow-on to PR #4762.
Companion branch: google/pybind11clif#30079
Major things to do:
Catch all divergence issues in
all_type_info_populate()
(fix: a long-standing bug in the handling of Python multiple inheritance #4762 (comment)).Avoid killing process when divergence is detected:
class CppDrvd1Plus2 : CppDrvd, CppDrvd2 { ... };
), wrap withclass_<CppDrvd1Plus2>
, in Python inherit fromCppDrvd1Plus2
instead ofCppDrvd
,CppDrvd2
separately.Suggested changelog entry:
