- Limitations
- ###########
- pybind11 strives to be a general solution to binding generation, but it also has
- certain limitations:
- - pybind11 casts away ``const``-ness in function arguments and return values.
- This is in line with the Python language, which has no concept of ``const``
- values. This means that some additional care is needed to avoid bugs that
- would be caught by the type checker in a traditional C++ program.
- - The NumPy interface ``pybind11::array`` greatly simplifies accessing
- numerical data from C++ (and vice versa), but it's not a full-blown array
- class like ``Eigen::Array`` or ``boost.multi_array``.
- These features could be implemented but would lead to a significant increase in
- complexity. I've decided to draw the line here to keep this project simple and
- compact. Users who absolutely require these features are encouraged to fork
- pybind11.
