add lambda related reflection/wrapper functions #165
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I wished for a less code generating approach but I think this is good enough. Maybe @wlav will have comments.

Not sure what you're asking to review? This is largely how I wrote it (https://github.com/wlav/cppyy-backend/blob/master/clingwrapper/src/clingwrapper.cxx#L1808), just now using |
Ok, thanks for the clarification. Let’s move forward then. |
`WrapLambdaFromVariable`: wraps a lambda variable to `std::function`
This is required for codegen and execution, because lambda are types that cannot be expressed.
Without this conversion from lambda to std::function we will not have sufficient type information to execute the lambda.
Example of conversion:
```c++
// from
auto f = [](){ return 1; }
// to
namespace __cppyy_internal_wrap_g {
std::function f = ::f;
}
```
`AdaptFunctionForLambdaReturn`: This wraps a function that returns a lambda to return `std::function`
Example:
```c++
// from
auto f() { return [](){ return 1; }
// to
namespace __cppyy_internal_wrap_g {
auto wrapper_fn(...args) {
return std::function(f(args...));
}
}
```
