> Done in hg. Phil, First tests show that this works well. It's an important feature, but burried deeply in the documentation, well, actually sort of obscured. Function "sipConvertToType" is documented as: If transferObj is NULL then the ownership is unchanged. If it is Py_None then ownership is transferred to Python via a call to sipTransferBack(). Otherwise ownership is transferred to C/C++ and obj associated with transferObj via a call to sipTransferTo(). Function "sipTransferTo" tells us: ... If owner is Py_None then obj is given an extra reference which is removed when the C++ instance’s destructor is called. ... Since "sipTransferTo" is mentioned by the docs of "sipConvertToType", who would guess that Py_None has such a different meaning? How about adding a corresponding hint to the documentation of "sipConvertToType"?
