New submission from Steve Dower: The ffi_prep_args function in libffi_msvc/ffi.c needs the attached patch to handle 64-bit parameters with the correct padding.
Without this patch, garbage may appear in the top part of 64-bit arguments as the values are not zeroed out by the memcpy. I'm not 100% sure who 'owns' this file - is there an upstream project that should get the patch rather than Python? If not, I see no reason not to check this in now, even though it doesn't seem to repro with the VC10 builds. ---------- components: ctypes files: ffi_prep_args.patch keywords: patch messages: 230036 nosy: amaury.forgeotdarc, belopolsky, meador.inge, steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: MSVC ffi_prep_args doesn't handle 64-bit arguments properly versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37023/ffi_prep_args.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22733> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
