[C++-sig] Fwd: [boost-python] Making a reference to the PyObject* in construct()

[Austin Bingham]

Thanks for the link, but I think I misspoke a bit. I do understand
borrowed vs. owned references in general, but I'm not sure about the
pointer in the specific context of the construct() call. Is it
borrowed or pre-incremented?

However, a little poking around the boost.python source seems to
indicate that it the pointers in that context are borrowed. The
evidence I have is that boost.python's own shared_ptr converter,
python/converter/shared_ptr_from_python.hpp, is using 'borrowed' when
it forms a reference to the PyObject.

So, can anyone verify that this is correct?
