New submission from Greg Hazel <gha...@users.sourceforge.net>:
ctypes on Windows on a 64bit Python installation gets a NULL pointer access
where one is not expected.
To reproduce the problem, run make.bat then "python ctypes_test.py"
Failure output looks like this:
Three! 1 2 <__main__.LP_Some object at 0x000000000209C4C8>
<__main__.Some object at 0x000000000209C548>
91
Four! 1 2 3 <__main__.LP_Some object at 0x000000000209C4C8>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "_ctypes/callbacks.c", line 291, in 'calling callback function'
File "ctypes_test.py", line 21, in fourprinter
print(to.contents)
ValueError: NULL pointer access
Otherwise, successful output looks something like:
Three! 1 2 <ctypes.LP_Some object at 0x2acc9482aed0>
<__main__.Some object at 0x2acc9482ae50>
91
Four! 1 2 3 <ctypes.LP_Some object at 0x2acc9482aed0>
<__main__.Some object at 0x2acc9482ae50>
91
Environments exhibiting this problem:
Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 07:43:08) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'WindowsPE')
Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 20 2010, 22:55:39) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'WindowsPE')
Environments NOT exhibiting the problem:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'ELF')
Also Windows on a 32bit architecture seems unaffected.
