Description
Introduce a
PYBIND11_SMART_HOLDER_DISABLE
macro.Note that the
PYBIND11_INTERNALS_ID
is identical with and without that define.That way the smart_holder feature is available by default, but users concerned about compile-time or runtime overhead can use the macro to essentially eliminate the overhead completely, without breaking full internals-compatibility with pybind11 extensions that have the smart_holder feature enabled.
Probably, the extra time the preprocessor needs to strip out the smart_holder code is virtually unmeasurable. The extra compile time for the tiny internals addition is probably also unmeasurable.
