After diving deeper into boost.python and python than I felt comfortable
with, I found my own stupid mistake.
On Windows, the presence of _DEBUG causes Py_DEBUG to be defined, but
this is not the case on Linux. When I include boost/python.hpp I need to
define both BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON and Py_DEBUG: Currently I'm wrapping
includes of boost.python like so:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#define BOOST_PYTHON_NO_LIB
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON
#ifndef WIN32
#define Py_DEBUG
#endif
#pragma comment(lib, "boost_python-vc80-mt-gyd-1_38.lib" )
#else
#pragma comment(lib, "boost_python-vc80-mt-1_38.lib" )
#endif
#include <boost/python.hpp>
-------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [C++-sig] Extending python and using debug interpreter on Linux
Hi,
I've built a local copy of Python with PY_DEBUG enabled and tried import
a simple module which only defs a single c++ function returning a
std::string. My test involves importing the module, and then quitting
the interpreter; I'm not trying to call anything in the module.
This works as expected in Release mode on linux (as well as working
correctly on Windows for Release and Debug(with PY_DEBUG).
However, on Linux using the debug interpreter I get a "Fatal Python
error: UNREF invalid object" with the callstack as follows:
#0 0xb7f3e430 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7bf48a0 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

Anyone have any ideas what is going wrong? I'm aware that there are
issues with Boost Python and Py_Finalize, but is that what is causing
this problem?
Using Boost 1.38.0 and Python 2.5.4, both built from source on both
Linux Ubuntu gcc42 and Windows Vista using VS2005.
Thanks,
Brian
