  1. Limitations
  2. ###########
  3. pybind11 strives to be a general solution to binding generation, but it also has
  4. certain limitations:
  5. - pybind11 casts away ``const``-ness in function arguments and return values.
  6. This is in line with the Python language, which has no concept of ``const``
  7. values. This means that some additional care is needed to avoid bugs that
  8. would be caught by the type checker in a traditional C++ program.
  9. - The NumPy interface ``pybind11::array`` greatly simplifies accessing
  10. numerical data from C++ (and vice versa), but it's not a full-blown array
  11. class like ``Eigen::Array`` or ``boost.multi_array``.
  12. These features could be implemented but would lead to a significant increase in
  13. complexity. I've decided to draw the line here to keep this project simple and
  14. compact. Users who absolutely require these features are encouraged to fork
  15. pybind11.
