Description
I enabled exceptions for my shiboken bindings and everything works great, except in one function. There exceptions where silently ignored. I noticed it has to do with the ownership transfer. Here is how the function is defined in the XML:
<object-type name="Engine" disable-wrapper="yes" exception-handling="auto-on">
<modify-function signature="add_element(Element *)" exception-handling="on">
<modify-argument index="1">
<define-ownership owner="c++" />
</modify-argument>
</modify-function>
</object-type>
Here is the generated C++ code "engine_wrapper.cpp"
if (!PyErr_Occurred()) {
// add_element(Element*)
try {
cppSelf->add_element(cppArg0);
} catch (const std::exception &e) {
std::cout << "catch exception " << e.what() << std::endl;
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, e.what());
} catch (...) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, "An unknown exception was caught");
}
std::cout << PyErr_Occurred() << std::endl;
// Ownership transferences.
Shiboken::Object::releaseOwnership(pyArg);
std::cout << PyErr_Occurred() << std::endl;
}
}
if (PyErr_Occurred()) {
return {};
}
I added some instrumentation. Here is the output:
catch exception test
00007FFE9ED05D70
0000000000000000
As you can see the exception is caught. The PyErr_SetString is set. However it resets in the releaseOwnership code.
I don't think its a good idea to ignore the error, so it should be properly propagate.
Still open is of course what happens with the ownership in this case. I would still transfer it, and leave the responsibility to the caller.
Let me know what you think.
