Embind and private destructors

[Joshua Litt]

I am trying to build a library with embind, and I have found the docs and test file quite helpful.

However, I have run into an issue.  One of the classes I need to provide an interface for has a private destructor.  I can probably just wrap the class, but that will be quite time consuming.  Is there anyway to tell embind not to call the classes destructor?  Right now I get compiler errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Joshua,

If you expose a class without a destructor, how can that instance get deallocated?

If embind is storing bookkeeping data for each C++ object exposed to JavaScript, how would embind know to clean that up?

Can you explain your use case in some more detail?

Thanks!
Chad

Chad,

I actually worked around this by using a C interface.

My use case was to return a pointer managed by the C++ layer to JS.  This pointer is later used to query data and such, but the class itself is cleaned up under its own terms.  The class is deallocated by a friend class.

Thanks for the response!
