New submission from STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
"import re: re.finditer("a", {})" crash on Python 2.x (tested with svn
trunk) because of an invalid use of PyObject_NEW/PyObject_DEL. The
error is in pattern_scanner(), in block "if (!string) { ... }".
- scanner_dealloc() calls Py_DECREF(self->pattern); whereas pattern
attribute is not initialized
- scanner_dealloc() calls PyObject_DEL(self); whereas
scanner_dealloc() is already the destructor of self object!
I wrote a patch to fix these errors. Please review my patch, I don't
know C API very well.
I also patched _compile(): replace PyObject_DEL() by Py_DECREF(). Is
it really needed?
