Interestaing I changed malloc()/free() usage with PyMem_xx APIs and
the problem resolved. However, I really cannot understand why the
first version does not work. Here is the latest code that has no
problems at all:
static PyObject *
penc(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
PyObject * result = NULL;
unsigned char *s= NULL;
unsigned char *buf = NULL;
unsigned int v,len,i = 0;
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s#", &s, &len))
return NULL;
buf = (unsigned char *) PyMem_Malloc(len);
if (buf == NULL) {
PyErr_NoMemory();
return NULL;
}
/* string manipulation. */
result = PyString_FromStringAndSize((char *)buf, len);
PyMem_Free(buf);
return result;
}
