If Jim is right,string's memory allocated is different in python and
c++.However,before python
handle some strings from c++,it must convert string from c++'s memory to
python's memory.
So smart pointers have not changed anything.It must keep a separate copy of
a string in c++ memory and python mem
Traditionally, the proper solution to avoid deep copies is to wrap a
std::shared_ptr instead of a std::string directly.
If your strings are short of course, it may well be faster to leave
it as is. std::shared_ptr is not lightweight and may use atomic
instructions, the bandwidth for which in a
In your C++ you simply need to ensure that Python gets a regular
chance to execute in any native loop you execute so it can do its
housekeeping. One way is PyErr_CheckSignals(), but that won't do for
long running loops, only short ones, because it doesn't do much
housekeeping.
In my own code I
