vector_indexing_suite seems to break the use of return_internal_reference

リンク先の Boost.Python の return_internal_reference の例から始め、Foo、Bar、FooList を公開する、示されている C++ モジュールを作成します。2 つ目の Foo を追加する Python シーケンスを実行し、その後、以前返された Bar 参照が変わる一方で foo_ref.get_bar() は有効なままである理由を調査します。ベクターの拡張後も内部参照が有効なままであれば完了です。

I can create a class Foo that returns an internal reference to a class Bar and everything seems to work just fine. However, when I try and expose a vector of Foo using the vector_indexing_suite, I get some weird behavior. In Python, a reference to the underlying Bar of a Foo in a vector of Foos gets corrupted when a new Foo is appended to the vector.

Since most of the code comes straight out of the Boost Python docs, I assume it should work.

The issue can be replicated by making a few modifications to an example from the Boost Python docs.

#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include <boost/python/class.hpp>
#include <boost/python/return_internal_reference.hpp>
#include <boost/python/suite/indexing/vector_indexing_suite.hpp>


#include <vector>

class Bar
{
 public:
   Bar(int x) : x(x) {}
   int get_x() const { return x; }
   void set_x(int x) { this->x = x; }

   bool operator==(const Bar &other) const { return other.x == x;}
   bool operator!=(const Bar &other) const { return !(other == (*this)); }

 private:
   int x;
};

class Foo
{
 public:
   Foo(int x) : b(x) {}

   // Returns an internal reference
   Bar const& get_bar() const { return b; }

   bool operator==(const Foo &other) const {return other.b == b;}
   bool operator!=(const Foo &other) const { return !(other == (*this)); }

 private:
   Bar b;
};

using namespace boost::python;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(boosttest)
{
   class_<Bar>("Bar", init<int>())
      .def("get_x", &Bar::get_x)
      .def("set_x", &Bar::set_x)
      ;

   class_<Foo>("Foo", init<int>())
      .def("get_bar", &Foo::get_bar
          , return_internal_reference<>())
      ;

   class_<std::vector<Foo>>("FooList")
      .def(vector_indexing_suite<std::vector<Foo>>())
      ;
}

Then on the Python side, we get the following.

>>> import boosttest
>>> foolist = boosttest.FooList()
>>> foolist.append(boosttest.Foo(2))
>>> foo_ref = foolist[0]
>>> bar_ref = foo_ref.get_bar()
>>> bar_ref.get_x()
2
>>> foolist.append(boosttest.Foo(3))
>>> bar_ref.get_x()
-572662307
>>> foo_ref.get_bar().get_x()
2
