New issue 2694: [patch] ctypes.CDLL: implement handle argument https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2694/patch-ctypescdll-implement-handle-argument
David Naylor: PyPy internally didn't implement the handle argument (or CDLL._handle property). The oversight was likely due to CPython reaching into the internals of the CDLL library from the _ctypes.so code. The attached patch implements handle by extending RPython's libffi.CDLL to use the handle if provided (otherwise using dlopen to get the handle). In turn _rawffi.alt.CDLL is extended to pass handle through from ctypes to libffi. A default value of 0 is used (instead of None) as 0 is the equivalent of NULL and is the error condition from dlopen. The attached patch fixes both PyPy and PyPy3. This fixes the rtld_default_lib code in ll2types on FreeBSD. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
