      virtual + inheritance example: remove multiple inheritance approach · d6c365bc
      Jason Rhinelander authored
      It was already pretty badly intrusive, but it also appears to make MSVC
      segfault.  Rather than investigating and fixing it, it's easier to just
      remove it.

      Added advanced doc section on virtual methods + inheritance · 0ca96e29
      Jason Rhinelander authored
      As discussed in #320.
      
      The adds a documentation block that mentions that the trampoline classes
      must provide overrides for both the classes' own virtual methods *and*
      any inherited virtual methods.  It also provides a templated solution to
      avoiding method duplication.
      
      The example includes a third method (only mentioned in the "see also"
      section of the documentation addition), using multiple inheritance.
      While this approach works, and avoids code generation in deep
      hierarchies, it is intrusive by requiring that the wrapped classes use
      virtual inheritance, which itself is more instrusive if any of the
      virtual base classes need anything other than default constructors.  As
      per the discussion in #320, it is kept as an example, but not suggested
      in the documentation.

      Rename examples files, as per #288 · b3f3d79f
      Jason Rhinelander authored
      This renames example files from `exampleN` to `example-description`.
      
      Specifically, the following renaming is applied:
      
      example1 -> example-methods-and-attributes
      example2 -> example-python-types
      example3 -> example-operator-overloading
      example4 -> example-constants-and-functions
      example5 -> example-callbacks (*)
      example6 -> example-sequence-and-iterators
      example7 -> example-buffers
      example8 -> example-custom-ref-counting
      example9 -> example-modules
      example10 -> example-numpy-vectorize
      example11 -> example-arg-keywords-and-defaults
      example12 -> example-virtual-functions
      example13 -> example-keep-alive
      example14 -> example-opaque-types
      example15 -> example-pickling
      example16 -> example-inheritance
      example17 -> example-stl-binders
      example18 -> example-eval
      example19 -> example-custom-exceptions
      
      * the inheritance parts of example5 are moved into example-inheritance
      (previously example16), and the remainder is left as example-callbacks.
      
      This commit also renames the internal variables ("Example1",
      "Example2", "Example4", etc.) into non-numeric names ("ExampleMandA",
      "ExamplePythonTypes", "ExampleWithEnum", etc.) to correspond to the
      file renaming.
      
      The order of tests is preserved, but this can easily be changed if
      there is some more natural ordering by updating the list in
      examples/CMakeLists.txt.
