如何在不复制对象的情况下公开将C ++对象返回给Python的函数？

Question

在另一个问题中，我学习了如何通过复制对象来公开将C++对象返回给Python的函数。必须执行复制似乎不是最佳选择。如何不复制就返回对象？即如何直接访问self.thisptr.getPeaks(data)in中返回的峰PyPeakDetection.getPeaks（在peak_detection_.pyx 中定义）？

peak_detection.hpp

#ifndef PEAKDETECTION_H
#define PEAKDETECTION_H

#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <vector>

#include "peak.hpp"


class PeakDetection
{
    public:
        PeakDetection(std::map<std::string, std::string> config);
        std::vector<Peak> getPeaks(std::vector<float> &data);

    private:
        float _threshold;               
};

#endif

peak_detection.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "peak.hpp"
#include "peak_detection.hpp"


using namespace std;


PeakDetection::PeakDetection(map<string, string> config)
{   
    _threshold = stof(config["_threshold"]);
}

vector<Peak> PeakDetection::getPeaks(vector<float> &data){

    Peak peak1 = Peak(10,1);
    Peak peak2 = Peak(20,2);

    vector<Peak> test;
    test.push_back(peak1);
    test.push_back(peak2);

    return test;
}

#ifndef PEAK_H
#define PEAK_H

class Peak {
    public:
        float freq;

        Peak() : freq(), mag() {}
        Peak(float f, float m) : freq(f), mag(m) {}

如果您拥有现代的C ++编译器并且可以使用右值引用，请移动构造函数和std ::
move，这非常简单。我认为最简单的方法是为向量创建Cython包装器，然后使用move构造函数来掌握向量的内容。

显示的所有代码都在peak_detection_.pyx中。

先包好std::move。为了简单起见，我只包装了我们想要的一种情况（vector<Peak>），而不是弄乱模板。

cdef extern from "<utility>":
    vector[Peak]&& move(vector[Peak]&&) # just define for peak rather than anything else

其次，创建向量包装器类。这定义了像列表一样访问它所必需的Python函数。它还定义了一个函数来调用移动分配运算符

cdef class PyPeakVector:
    cdef vector[Peak] vec

    cdef move_from(self, vector[Peak]&& move_this):
        self.vec = move(move_this)

    def __getitem__(self,idx):
        return PyPeak2(self,idx)

    def __len__(self):
        return self.vec.size()

然后定义包装的类Peak。这与您的其他类稍有不同，因为它不拥有Peak包装的内容（向量包含）。否则，大多数功能保持不变

cdef class PyPeak2:
    cdef int idx
    cdef PyPeakVector vector # keep this alive, since it owns the peak rather that PyPeak2

    def __cinit__(self,PyPeakVector vec,idx):
        self.vector = vec
        self.idx = idx

    cdef Peak* getthisptr(self):
        # lookup the pointer each time - it isn't generally safe
        # to store pointers incase the vector is resized
        return &self.vector.vec[self.idx]

    # rest of functions as is

    # don't define a destructor since we don't own the Peak

最后实施 getPeaks()

cdef class PyPeakDetection:
    # ...    
    def getPeaks(self, data):
        cdef Peak peak
        cdef PyPeak new_peak
        cdef vector[Peak] peaks = self.thisptr.getPeaks(data)

        retval = PyPeakVector()
        retval.move_from(move(peaks))

        return retval

替代方法：

如果Peak是平凡的，你可以去那里你调用一个方法move上Peak而上的向量，为您建造PyPeak秒。对于这种情况，您在此处移动和复制将等同于`Peak。

如果您不能使用C 11功能，则需要稍微更改一下接口。不用让C

getPeaks函数返回向量，而是将一个空的向量引用（由拥有PyPeakVector）作为输入参数并写入其中。其余的大部分包装都保持不变。
