Game Programming using Qt 5 Beginner's Guide - Second Edition

Time for action – Converting data between C++ and Python

Create a new class and call it QtPythonValue:

class QtPythonValue {
public:
    QtPythonValue();
    QtPythonValue(const QtPythonValue &other);
    QtPythonValue& operator=(const QtPythonValue &other);

    QtPythonValue(int val);
    QtPythonValue(const QString &str);
    ~QtPythonValue();

    int toInt() const;
    QString toString() const;
    bool isNone() const;

private:
    QtPythonValue(PyObject *ptr);
    void incRef();
    void incRef(PyObject *val);
    void decRef();

    PyObject *m_value;
    friend class QtPython;
};

Next, implement the constructors, the assignment operator, and the destructor, as follows:

QtPythonValue::QtPythonValue() { incRef(Py_None); } QtPythonValue::QtPythonValue(const QtPythonValue &other) { incRef(other.m_value); ...
