Description
Hi, I am new to pybind11 and relatively new to c++. I have a problem with the code below. I am trying to return a list of tuples containing a python object and a double but for some reason I get a segmentation fault when I run it in python. I have tried to find some hints in the documentation but couldn't find anything relevant to my problem.
Any idea as to why this is happening?
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/stl.h>
using namespace pybind11::literals;
pybind11::list test(std::vector<std::tuple<pybind11::object*, double>> l) {
int ls = l.size();
pybind11::list out;
for (int i=0; i<ls; i++){
pybind11::object* ID_0_ptr = std::get<0>(l[i]);
double x = std::get<1>(l[i]);
pybind11::tuple t = pybind11::make_tuple(ID_0_ptr, x);
out.append(t);
}
return out;
};
PYBIND11_MODULE(test_module, m) {
m.def("test", &test);
}
from bson.objectid import ObjectId
import test_module
l = [(ObjectId(), 0.0), (ObjectId(), 1.0), (ObjectId(), 2.0)]
out = test_module.test(l)

Research direction
Start at test() in the C++ snippet and reproduce the Python call with the shown ObjectId tuples. Inspect how the tuple elements are converted and compare the pointer passed to make_tuple with the intended Python object. Done means the call returns a list of tuples without a segmentation fault, preserving each ObjectId and double.
