TFunction_DriverTable_AddDriver can't work

[jfgajg]

Problem code:
TFunction_DriverTable.Get().AddDriver(TOcafFunction_BoxDriver.GetID(), TOcafFunction_BoxDriver())

TOcafFunction_BoxDriver Inherited from TFunction_Driver, but Report an error:TypeError: in method 'TFunction_DriverTable_AddDriver', argument 3 of type 'opencascade::handle< TFunction_Driver > const &'

Can you please provide a full sample ready to be executed without additional tweak, I can not duplicate the error

Thanks for your work.

There's an issue with subclassing TFunction_Driver. You have to properly instantiate the base class:

class TOcafFunction_BoxDriver(TFunction_Driver):

    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(TOcafFunction_BoxDriver, self).__init__()

The problem is that TFunction_Driver is an abstract class, as far as I understand.

[jfgajg]

This is the constructor of TFunction_Driverand cannot be executed.

class TFunction_Driver(OCC.Core.Standard.Standard_Transient):

thisown = property(lambda x: x.this.own(), lambda x, v: x.this.own(v), doc="The membership flag")

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    raise AttributeError("No constructor defined")

Yep, because there are pure virtual methods inside the TFunction_Driver class

What should I do?

[tpaviot]

The TFunction_Driver class is a bit specific since it inherits from a Standard_Transient and defines virtual methods. That's why there's no constructor defined and it behaves like an abstract class. ping @rainman110
what you can do so far:

1. wait for a fix
2. pray for a quick fix

[jfgajg]

2. pray

Thanks for your answer.
In addition, I choose 2.

Note, it's not a 7.5.1 specific issue, it's been there for years

It's just not resolved in the new version, so I posted this post.
So what is its repair process?
Need to write swig and compile it to fix it?
Or need to modify OpenCascade?
I don't know if I can solve it, but I am willing to try.
