New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: getbuffer() checks that the buffer is contiguous. "s#", "y", "z" formats use convertbuffer() which doesn't check that the buffer is contigious, as "w" and "w#" formats which call directly PyObject_GetBuffer() which extra check.
I don't think that the functions using these format support discontiguous buffers. I cannot check because I don't know how to create such buffer. It would be safer to reject discontigious buffer. If a function would like to support discontigious buffer, it should use "O" format, call PyObject_GetBuffer() with the right option and do its own checks on the buffer object. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 107749 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PyArg_Parse*() functions: reject discontinious buffers versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8991> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
