Here is my simple test code modified from embedding.cpp test code(by Dirk Gerrits).
I successfully compiled, but my excutable raise heap error assertion when the time freeing the string result of the function py.hello(). Can I prevent this error? My sampel code and result is below. // main.cpp // Copyright David Abrahams 2002.
