I've stripped the python bindings down to a minimal point, and I've decided there may be a memory corruption problem in the 1.4.5 version of the library. Here's the current boost binding: ---------------------------------pylibconfig.cc------------------------------ #include <boost/python.hpp> #include <libconfig.h++> using namespace boost::python; using namespace libconfig; class pyConfig { public: pyConfig() { config = new Config(); } ~pyConfig () { delete config; } private: Config *config; }; BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(pylibconfig) { class_<pyConfig>("Config"); } ---------------------------------pylibconfig.cc------------------------------ That builds without warnings and installs fine, but attempting to actually create an instance of the class in Python causes a glibc memory corruption message: Python 2.6.5 (release26-maint, Jun 22 2010, 12:58:11) [GCC 4.3.4] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pylibconfig >>> conf = pylibconfig.Config() *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python2.6: corrupted double-linked list: 0x08065c48 *** Am I correct in concluding it has to be a memory corruption problem in the library itself? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
