Aha :-)
That makes everything clear immediately, thanks!
Initial thought: This is very similar to
static handle cast(const T *src, ...). We could mimic that implementation, or maybe even reuse? The easy case is that an instance exists already and we just incref as you suggest. Or there needs to bereturn_value_policy::reference_internalor an explicitkeep_alive.Is there a chance you could help with that implementation? It's unlikely that I can prioritize working on this myself anytime soon, unless I hit on a use case in PyCLIF (difficult to predict). But I will review & merge very quickly if you take the lead.
My revised suggestion for a separate new unit test name iff we cannot reuse
static handle cast(const T *src, ...): test_class_sh_const_unique_returnKeeping the tests separate helps minimizing merge issues (between master, drake, smart_holder) and is best practice IMO regardless.

Done. Thanks for the hint to
cast(const T*). Regarding the unit test: I think we should have a unit test in any case.Do you suggest to move the test into a new file, named
test_class_sh_const_unique_return.cppor to include a test namedtest_class_sh_const_unique_returninto some existing file?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Hm. I don't understand why CI fails, while locally it works fine. Need to investigate later...

Oh, sorry to be ambiguous: I was thinking of
test_class_sh_const_unique_return.cppand.py.I think I also want to add a few lines to
test_class_sh_basic.cppand.py, but that's a small enough effort I could squeeze that in myself.
