+
+ <p><code>&lt;boost/python/has_back_reference.hpp&gt;</code> defines the
+ predicate metafunction <code>has_back_reference&lt;&gt;</code>, which can
+ be specialized by the user to indicate that a wrapped class instance
+ holds a <code>PyObject*</code> corresponding to a Python object.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
+
+ <h3><a name="has_back_reference-spec"></a>Class template
+ <code>has_back_reference</code></h3>
+
+ <p>A unary metafunction whose <code>value</code> is true iff its argument
+ is a <code>pointer_wrapper&lt;&gt;</code>.</p>

+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+ template&lt;class WrappedClass&gt; class has_back_reference
+ {
+ typedef mpl::false_ type;

+ <p>A "<a href="../../../mpl/doc/refmanual/metafunction.html">
+ metafunction</a>" that is inspected by Boost.Python to determine how
+ wrapped classes can be constructed.</p>

+ <dl class="traits-semantics">
+ <dt><code>type::value</code> is an integral constant convertible to bool
+ of unspecified type.</dt>
+
+ <dt>Specializations may substitute a <code>true</code>-valued integral constant wrapper for
+ <code>type</code> iff for each invocation of
+ <code>class_&lt;WrappedClass&gt;::def(init&lt;</code>
+ <i>type-sequence...</i><code>&gt;())</code> and the implicitly wrapped
+ copy constructor (unless it is <a href="class.html#class_-spec">
+ noncopyable</a>), there exists a corresponding constructor
+ <code>WrappedClass::WrappedClass(PyObject*,&nbsp;</code>
+ <i>type-sequence...</i><code>)</code>. If such a specialization exists,
+ the <code>WrappedClass</code> constructors will be called with a "back
+ reference" pointer to the corresponding Python object whenever they are
+ invoked from Python. The easiest way to provide this nested <code>
+type

+ is to
