多态性和pybind11

Question

当我想在 Python 中使用 C++ 多态时，我对 pybind11 有一个奇怪的行为。这是我的问题的一个简单示例：

import polymorphism as plm

a = plm.mylist()

print(a)

a[0].print()
a[1].print()

这个脚本的输出是

[MyBase, MyDerived]

MyBase

MyBase

但预期输出是

[MyBase, MyDerived]

MyBase

MyDerived

因为 mylist return 一个 std::vector 其中包含派生 class (MyDerived) 的实例作为第二个成员。奇怪的是，当我打印整个列表时，MyDerived 被识别了。

这是 C++ 代码的头文件：

/* polymorphism.hpp */

#ifndef POLYMORPHISM_HPP
#define POLYMORPHISM_HPP

#include <vector>

class MyBase
{
  public:
    virtual void print() const;
};


class MyDerived : public MyBase
{
  public:
   virtual void print() const;
};


std::vector<MyBase*> mylist();

#endif

这里是 cpp 文件：

#include "polymorphism.hpp"

#include <iostream>
#include <pybind11/stl.h>
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

void MyBase::print() const
{ std::cout << "MyBase" << std::endl; }

void MyDerived::print() const
{ std::cout << "MyDerived" << std::endl; }

std::vector<MyBase*> mylist()
{
  std::vector<MyBase*> list(2);
  list[0] = new MyBase();
  list[1] = new MyDerived();
  return list;
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(polymorphism, m) 
{
  pybind11::class_<MyBase>(m, "MyBase")
    .def(pybind11::init<>())
    .def("print", &MyBase::print)
    .def("__repr__", [](const MyBase &a) { return "MyBase"; });

  pybind11::class_<MyDerived, MyBase>(m, "MyDerived")
    .def(pybind11::init<>())
    .def("print", &MyDerived::print)
    .def("__repr__", [](const MyDerived &a) { return "MyDerived"; });

  m.def("mylist", &mylist, "return a list");
}

编辑：更令人惊讶的是，当我为 MyDerived 删除 "print" 的绑定时，我收到以下错误消息

[MyBase, MyDerived]

MyBase

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "test.py", line 8, in

a[1].print()

AttributeError: 'polymorphism.MyDerived' object has no attribute 'print'

这条消息似乎意味着 MyDerived 被很好地识别，而调用了错误版本的打印（如果我理解得很好的话）。

编辑 2：这是一个使用蹦床的版本 classes。但是，此版本会导致相同的错误输出。

/* polymorphism.hpp */
#ifndef POLYMORPHISM_HPP
#define POLYMORPHISM_HPP

#include <vector>
#include <pybind11/stl.h>
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

class MyBase
{
  public:
    virtual void print() const;
};


class MyDerived : public MyBase
{
  public:
    virtual void print() const;
};


std::vector<MyBase*> mylist();

class PyMyBase : public MyBase 
{
  public:
    using MyBase::MyBase; // Inherit constructors
    void print() const override { PYBIND11_OVERLOAD(void, MyBase, print ); }
};

class PyMyDerived : public MyDerived 
{
  public:
    using MyDerived::MyDerived; // Inherit constructors
    void print() const override { PYBIND11_OVERLOAD(void, MyDerived, print);}
};

#endif

对应的cpp文件如下：

/* polymorphism.cpp */
#include "polymorphism.hpp"

#include <iostream>

void MyBase::print() const
{ std::cout << "MyBase" << std::endl; }


void MyDerived::print() const
{ std::cout << "MyDerived" << std::endl; }


std::vector<MyBase*> mylist()
{
  std::vector<MyBase*> list(2);
  list[0] = new MyBase();
  list[1] = new MyDerived();
  return list;
}


PYBIND11_MODULE(polymorphism, m) 
{
   pybind11::class_<MyBase, PyMyBase>(m, "MyBase")
     .def(pybind11::init<>())
     .def("print", &MyBase::print)
     .def("__repr__", [](const MyBase &a) { return "MyBase"; });

   pybind11::class_<MyDerived, PyMyDerived>(m, "MyDerived")
     .def(pybind11::init<>())
     .def("print", &MyDerived::print)
     .def("__repr__", [](const MyDerived &a) { return "MyDerived"; });

   m.def("mylist", &mylist, "return a list");
}

Answer 1

我不知道为什么，但是 pybind11 似乎 mylist() 中的原始指针有问题。如果将 return 类型更改为 vector<unique_ptr<MyBase>>，该示例将正常工作。以下示例编译为 python 模块 example 并生成预期的输出。

example.cpp:

#include <pybind11/stl.h>
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>

class MyBase {
public:
    virtual void print() const {
        std::cout << "MyBase::print()" << std::endl;
    }
};

class MyDerived : public MyBase {
public:
    virtual void print() const override {
        std::cout << "MyDerived::print()" << std::endl;
    }
};

std::vector<std::unique_ptr<MyBase>> mylist() {
    std::vector<std::unique_ptr<MyBase>> v;
    v.push_back(std::make_unique<MyBase>());
    v.push_back(std::make_unique<MyDerived>());
    return v;
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    pybind11::class_<MyBase>(m, "MyBase")
        .def(pybind11::init<>())
        .def("print", &MyBase::print)
        .def("__repr__", [](MyBase const&) { return "MyBase"; });

    pybind11::class_<MyDerived>(m, "MyDerived")
        .def(pybind11::init<>())
        .def("print", &MyDerived::print)
        .def("__repr__", [](MyDerived const&) { return "MyDerived"; });

    m.def("mylist", &mylist, "returns a list");
}

python shell:

>>> import example
>>> l = example.mylist()
>>> l[0].print()
MyBase::print()
>>> l[1].print()
MyDerived::print()
