New submission from Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de>: Currently, memory management for the Py_tp_doc slot in PyType_FromSpec is ill-defined. The doc string being passed is stored in the type object as-is, but later released with PyObject_Free. To make this consistent, PyType_FromSpec should copy the string, so that it's guaranteed that relasing the memory matches allocation.
Without this patch, users will have to hold onto the type objects they get from PyType_FromSpec "forever". ---------- files: tp_doc.diff keywords: patch messages: 128857 nosy: loewis priority: release blocker severity: normal status: open title: Memory mismanagement with Py_tp_doc Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20797/tp_doc.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11249> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
