PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE(example, m) compile error

[sphaero]

Just doing some testing with pybind. This example:

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

namespace py = pybind11;

int add(int i, int j) {
   return i * j;
}

PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin"; // optional module docstring

    m.def("add", &add, "A function which adds two numbers");
}

Results in:

test.cpp:14:25: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token
   14 | PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE(example, m) {
      |                         ^

replacing PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE with PYBIND11_MODULE works fine.

Using pybind11 from current master

To answer my own question: it seems you need to include embed.h for it to work:

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/embed.h>

namespace py = pybind11;

int add(int i, int j) {
   return i * j;
}

PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin"; // optional module docstring

    m.def("add", &add, "A function which adds two numbers");
}
