// Data management for potential rvalue conversions from Python to C++
// types. When a client requests a conversion to T* or T&, we
// generally require that an object of type T exists in the source
// Python object, and the code here does not apply**. This implements
// conversions which may create new temporaries of type T. The classic
// example is a conversion which converts a Python tuple to a
// std::vector. Since no std::vector lvalue exists in the Python
// object -- it must be created "on-the-fly" by the converter, and
// which must manage the lifetime of the created object.
//
// Note that the client is not precluded from using a registered
// lvalue conversion to T in this case. In other words, we will
// happily accept a Python object which /does/ contain a std::vector
// lvalue, provided an appropriate converter is registered. So, while
// this is an rvalue conversion from the client's point-of-view, the
// converter registry may serve up lvalue or rvalue conversions for
// the target type.
//
// ** C++ argument from_python conversions to T const& are an
// exception to the rule for references: since in C++, const
// references can bind to temporary rvalues, we allow rvalue
// converters to be chosen when the target type is T const& for some
// T.
namespace boost { namespace python { namespace converter { 

// Conversions begin by filling in and returning a copy of this
// structure. The process looks up a converter in the rvalue converter
// registry for the target type. It calls the convertible() function
// of each registered converter, passing the source PyObject* as an
// argument, until a non-null result is returned. This result goes in
// the convertible field, and the converter's construct() function is
// stored in the construct field.
//
// If no appropriate converter is found, conversion fails and the
// convertible field is null. When used in argument conversion for
// wrapped C++ functions, it causes overload resolution to reject the
// current function but not to fail completely. If an exception is
// thrown, overload resolution stops and the exception propagates back
// through the caller.
//
// If an lvalue converter is matched, its convertible() function is
// expected to return a pointer to the stored T object; its
// construct() function will be NULL. The convertible() function of
// rvalue converters may return any non-singular pointer; the actual
// target object will only be available once the converter's
// construct() function is called.
