Problem description
It seems that if I throw an exception from a def_buffer method, this is not translated properly to a Python exception and instead terminates the program with something like:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
what(): unimplemented array format.
Aborted
Reproducible example code
I believe the following minimal repro causes this but I have not yet built it separately/verified outside of my project.
struct Foobar;
py::class_<Foobar>(m, "Foobar")
.def(py::init<>())
.def_buffer([](Foobar &) {
throw std::invalid_argument("boom");
});
import numpy as np
import my_module
np.array(my_module.Foobar())
