### Direct access
|
|
|
|
Some python objects have an instance dict, a.k.a, `__dict__` in cpython.
|
|
You can use `obj->attr()` to manipulate the instance dict of an object.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// get the `builtin` module
|
|
PyObject* builtins = vm->builtins;
|
|
// get `dict` type
|
|
PyObject* dict = builtins->attr("dict");
|
|
// set `pi = 3.14`
|
|
builtins->attr().set("pi", VAR(3.14));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, you cannot call `attr` on an object which does not have an instance dict.
|
|
For example, the `int` object.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// create a `int` object
|
|
PyObject* obj = VAR(1);
|
|
// THIS IS WRONG!! WILL LEAD TO A SEGFAULT!!
|
|
PyObject* add = obj->attr("__add__");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To determine whether an object has instance dict or not, you can use this snippet.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// 1. call `is_tagged` to check the object supports `->` operator
|
|
// 2. call `is_attr_valid` to check the existence of instance dict
|
|
PyObject* obj = VAR(1);
|
|
bool ok = !is_tagged(obj) && obj->is_attr_valid(); // false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### General access
|
|
|
|
As you can see, direct access does not take care of derived attributes or methods.
|
|
In most cases, what you need is `getattr` and `setattr`.
|
|
These two methods handle all possible cases.
|
|
|
|
#### `PyObject* VM::getattr(PyObject* obj, StrName name, bool throw_err=true)`
|
|
|
|
This method is equivalent to `getattr` in python.
|
|
If the attribute is not found, it will return `nullptr`
|
|
or throw an `AttributeError` depending on the value of `throw_err`.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// create a `int` object
|
|
PyObject* obj = VAR(1);
|
|
|
|
// get its `__add__` method, which is a `bound_method` object
|
|
PyObject* add = vm->getattr(obj, "__add__");
|
|
|
|
// call it (equivalent to `1 + 2`)
|
|
PyObject* ret = vm->call(add, VAR(2));
|
|
|
|
// get the result
|
|
int result = CAST(int, ret);
|
|
std::cout << result << std::endl; // 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `void VM::setattr(PyObject*, StrName, PyObject*)`
|
|
|
|
This method is equivalent to `setattr` in python.
|
|
It raises `TypeError` if the object does not support attribute assignment. |
