I'm not sure I agree with this argument.  The point I made on irc was
that for function that return "void", it's common to not worry about
setting restype to None, because it just works anyway.  You get a
c_long() object with a random value and just ignore it.  It would be
completely optimized away by the JIT, too.  So yes, I see the point
from a theoretical correctness perspective, but I think I care more
about not flooding users with RuntimeWarnings in the case of ctypes...


A bientôt,

Armin.
