can't passthrough non pywrapped objects

[straszheim]

Not sure what to do with this one. It seems that you can't write a cell that passes non pywrapped objects through... or maybe I just don't know the idiom and this needs docs...

I'm back to thinking of

inputs.declare("in", ...)
outputs.declare("out", ...)

int process(...)
{
*in = *out;
}

or maybe something other than void... struct opaque {}; or struct unknown {}; ?

Here is how we pass through on any type. I disabled type checking on none type.

  struct PassthroughAny
  {
    static void declare_io(const tendrils& parms, tendrils& in, tendrils& out)
    {
      in.declare<ecto::tendril::none>("in", "Any type");
      out.declare<ecto::tendril::none>("out", "Any type");
    }
    void configure(const tendrils& parms, tendrils& in, tendrils& out)
    {
      in_ = in.at("in");
      out_ = out.at("out");
    }
    int process(tendrils& in, tendrils& out)
    {
      out_->copy_value(*in_);
      return ecto::OK;
    }
    tendril::ptr in_, out_;
  };

This should be considered an advanced use of ecto. Its the lazy type way of doing things.

This is all wrapped up, no?

Fixed. passthrough
