Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Albert Strasheim (albertstrasheim) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ctypes: Returning c_void_p from callback doesn't work Initial Comment: C code: extern CALLBACK_API void* foo(void*(*callback)()) { printf("foo calling callback\n"); callback(); printf("callback returned in foo\n"); } callback.py contains: import sys print sys.version from ctypes import * def callback(*args): return c_void_p() #lib = cdll['libcallback.so'] lib = cdll['callback.dll'] lib.foo.argtypes = [CFUNCTYPE(c_void_p)] lib.foo(lib.foo.argtypes[0](callback)) With Python 2.4.3 and ctypes 1.0.0 + Thomas Heller's patch for another issue (which doesn't seem to affect this situation, but anyway) I get the following error: 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] foo calling callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "source/callbacks.c", line 216, in 'converting callback result' TypeError: cannot be converted to pointer Exception in None ignored callback returned in foo With Python 2.5 and ctypes 1.0.1 I get: 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] foo calling callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "\loewis\25\python\Modules\_ctypes\callbacks.c", line 216, in 'converting callback result' TypeError: cannot be converted to pointer Exception in <function callback at 0x009C3CF0> ignored callback returned in foo Returning a Python integer from callback() doesn't cause an error to be raised. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1574593&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
