[C++-sig] Re : Re : changing argument value in a C++/Python code, about initialisation

[christophe jean-joseph]

I changed the first line of A::h to

C myC;
myC.setValue(0.);
this->g(&myC);

I don't know if it match your comment, but the result is myC read at 0 instead of a strange-value, which is still not 7.

At risk of sounding foolish, your output looks reasonable to me.

In A::h(), at the point when you execute that cout << etc., this is
all the data that seems to participate:

> C calledC;
> double myCint;
> myCint = calledC.getValue();
> cout << "Value back in C++: " << myCint << endl;

You instantiate a brand-new 'C' object calledC. Its constructor
doesn't initialize C::myC, therefore it's uninitialized. You then call
calledC.getValue(), which returns that uninitialized double. myCint is
therefore a strange-looking value.
