Template Function lsst::utils::python::addSharedPtrEquality

Function Documentation

template<typename T, typename PyClass>
void lsst::utils::python::addSharedPtrEquality(PyClass &cls)

Add __eq__ and __ne__ methods based on two std::shared_ptr<T> pointing to the same address

Example:

Template Parameters

• T: The type to which the std::shared_ptr points.

• PyClass: The pybind11 class_ type; this can be automatically deduced.

lsst::afw::table records are considered equal if two std::shared_ptr<record> point to the same record. This is wrapped as follows for lsst::afw::table::BaseRecord, where cls is an instance of pybind11::class_<BaseRecord, std::shared_ptr<BaseRecord>>):

utils::addSharedPtrEquality<BaseRecord>(cls);

Note that all record subclasses inherit this behavior without needing to call this function.
