[ reply ]   2008-10-03 17:42 Thanks Jason. Please do update this forum (I'm monitoring it now) if/when this feature and general method overloading is available. This is a must-have for what I'm doing. Thanks again, -James By: Jason Roelofs RE: Multiple Constructors? [ reply ]   2008-10-03 17:39 Hmm, no real update right now. Your best bet is to pick just one constructor and use it. I plan on playing around with some ideas about a constructor wrapper that dispatches according to the parameters passed in, so I guess you could give that a try. We definitely need to start looking into adding general method overloading to Rice, and from that multiple constructors will also be implemented. By: James Masters RE: Multiple Constructors? [ reply ]   2008-10-03 17:03 Does anyone have an update to this? I'm just starting to use Rice and I've already run into this problem. Any native way to do this or at least a clever work-around? By: Jason Roelofs RE: Multiple Constructors? [ reply ]   2008-06-26 23:09 Correct, Rice currently only supports one constructor for a class. I'm not sure what the best way of getting around this limitation is. Paul might have an idea, but for now you'll have to either just use one constructor or try a wrapper method. By: Gordon Rios Multiple Constructors? [ reply ]   2008-06-26 22:34 I think this was touched on in another post but I can't find it -- does Rice not like multiple constructors in Data_Type? For example: Data_Type<HyperClient> rb_cHyperClient = define_class<HyperClient>("HyperClient") .define_constructor(Constructor<HyperClient, Rice::String, Rice::String >()) .define_constructor(Constructor<HyperClient, Rice::String, Rice::String, Rice::String>()) // define_methods ... will compile but at run time the extension only recognizes the two string signature or whichever one is defined first.
