New submission from STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Python dl_open() function (from dl module) calls dlopen() and check
its result: if it's NULL, it's an error. This is correct if I read the
man page. But with an invalid flag value (-1), dlopen() returns NULL
but dlerror() also gives a NULL pointer. Example:
>>> import dl
>>> dl.open("/usr/lib/libm.so", -1)
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)
Workaround: use a static error message if dlerror() returns NULL.
I wrote a patch for dl_open() but other functions (in ctypes module?)
should also call dlerror().
