    • Much more efficient generation of function signatures, updated docs · 66c9a402
      This modification taps into some newer C++14 features (if present) to
      generate function signatures considerably more efficiently at compile
      time rather than at run time.
      
      With this change, pybind11 binaries are now *2.1 times* smaller compared
      to the Boost.Python baseline in the benchmark. Compilation times get a
      nice improvement as well.
      
      Visual Studio 2015 unfortunately doesn't implement 'constexpr' well
      enough yet to support this change and uses a runtime fallback.

    • moved processing of cpp_function arguments out of dispatch code · 2ac5044a
      The cpp_function class accepts a variadic argument, which was formerly
      processed twice -- once at registration time, and once in the dispatch
      lambda function. This is not only unnecessarily slow but also leads to
      code bloat since it adds to the object code generated for every bound
      function. This change removes the second pass at dispatch time.
      
      One noteworthy change of this commit is that default arguments are now
      constructed (and converted to Python objects) right at declaration time.
      Consider the following example:
      
      py::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
          .def("myFunction", py::arg("arg") = SomeType(123));
      
      In this case, the change means that pybind11 must already be set up to
      deal with values of the type 'SomeType', or an exception will be thrown.
      Another change is that the "preview" of the default argument in the
      function signature is generated using the __repr__ special method. If
      it is not available in this type, the signature may not be very helpful,
      i.e.:
      
      |  myFunction(...)
      |      Signature : (MyClass, arg : SomeType = <SomeType object at 0x101b7b080>) -> None
      
      One workaround (other than defining SomeType.__repr__) is to specify the
      human-readable preview of the default argument manually using the more
      cumbersome arg_t notation:
      
      py::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
          .def("myFunction", py::arg_t<SomeType>("arg", SomeType(123), "SomeType(123)"));
