Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Travis Oliphant (teoliphant) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tp_alloc for subtypes of PyComplex_Type is not called Initial Comment: In the function complex_subtype_from_c_complex in the file complexobject.c, the allocation routine for the subtype is not called. This causes memory management problems if the sub-type does not use the Python memory manager. The fix is to make the following change: { PyObject *op; - op = PyType_GenericAlloc(type, 0); + op = type->tp_alloc(type, 0); if (op != NULL) ((PyComplexObject *)op)->cval = cval; return op; Attched is an example module and script illustrating what can go wrong along with a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1498638&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
