Myron Walker added the comment: I think this usage of 'call_method' from typeobject.c would cause it to leak.
static PyObject* slot_sq_slice(PyObject *self, Py_ssize_t i, Py_ssize_t j) { static PyObject *getslice_str; if (PyErr_WarnPy3k("in 3.x, __getslice__ has been removed; " "use __getitem__", 1) < 0) return NULL; return call_method(self, "__getslice__", &getslice_str, "nn", i, j); <<<<<<< Maybe Bad Format Str <<<<<<< } Looks like the only place in 'call_method' that could cause args to be NULL is if 'Py_VaBuildValue' which calls 'va_build_value' returns NULL. 'va_build_value' calls 'countformat' on the format string and 'countformat' looks for some escaping in the format string. If no special format characters like '(' or '{' are not found, then the count might be incremented but when the NULL terminator on the end of the string is hit, the 'countformat' will return -1. So I believe this method has a bug because it doesn't look to be using the formatter correctly and also it looks like it might cause a leak. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
