Structure used to describe a method of an extension type. This structure has
four fields:
- +------------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
- | Field | C Type | Meaning |
- +==================+===============+===============================+
- | :attr:`ml_name` | const char \* | name of the method |
- +------------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
- | :attr:`ml_meth` | PyCFunction | pointer to the C |
- | | | implementation |
- +------------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
- | :attr:`ml_flags` | int | flag bits indicating how the |
- | | | call should be constructed |
- +------------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
- | :attr:`ml_doc` | const char \* | points to the contents of the |
- | | | docstring |
- +------------------+---------------+-------------------------------+

-The :attr:`ml_meth` is a C function pointer. The functions may be of different
+ .. c:member:: const char* ml_name
+
+ name of the method
+
+ .. c:member:: PyCFunction ml_meth
+
+ pointer to the C implementation
+
+ .. c:member:: int ml_flags
+
+ flags bits indicating how the call should be constructed
+
+ .. c:member:: const char* ml_doc
+
+ points to the contents of the docstring
+
+The :c:member:`ml_meth` is a C function pointer. The functions may be of different
types, but they always return :c:expr:`PyObject*`. If the function is not of
the :c:type:`PyCFunction`, the compiler will require a cast in the method table.
Even though :c:type:`PyCFunction` defines the first parameter as
:c:expr:`PyObject*`, it is common that the method implementation uses the
specific C type of the *self* object.
-The :attr:`ml_flags` field is a bitfield which can include the following flags.
+The :c:member:`ml_flags` field is a bitfield which can include the following flags.
The individual flags indicate either a calling convention or a binding
convention.
