[Qgis-developer] wrapped C/C++ object of type QgsMapRenderer has been deleted

[Martin Dobias]

Hi Radim

I have encountered this problem recently by chance when working on
multi-threaded rendering. In SIP file for QgsMapCanvas, the
mapRenderer() has /Transfer/ annotation (see commit 0246816e). The
annotation has been obviously added to fix some other problem with
"canvas.mapRenderer().hasCrsTransformEnabled()" idiom. I think the
root of all evil is the fact that "hasCrsTransformEnabled" is both a
signal (with one argument) and an ordinary function (no arguments). My
guess is that SIP probably interprets that combination wrong, it seems
that this is not a problem with other functions/signals.

In any case, /Transfer/ annotation does not seem right. Maybe
/KeepReference/ function annotation would solve the problem (I assume
the python wrapper was getting destroyed too early). Also, having a
signal and a normal function with the same name also does not feel
right - but I guess we need to live with it until 3.0.

Regards
Martin
