I've filed a bug in python but I wanted to see if other ctypes users/
experts viewed this issue as a bug.
Consider the following:
python code:
import ctypes
class my_array( ctypes.Array ):
_type_ = ctypes.c_uint8
_length_ = 256
class my_array2( my_array ):
pass
Output:
class my_array2( my_array ):
AttributeError: class must define a '_length_' attribute, which must
be a positive integer
This is analogous to the C code
typedef char my_array[ 256 ];
typedef my_array my_array2;
As shown above, the python code raises exceptions claiming _type_ and
_length_ have not been defined. This seems like a bug. I shouldn't
need to redefine _type_ and _length_, otherwise there was no point in
subclassing from my_array.
Thoughts?
