Well, stack alignment would be a problem with how the shared library gets
compiled, nothing to do with ctypes (I think). However, if you are passing in
arrays from ctypes, *they* may also be misaligned. Try to check the addresses of
the ctypes values you are passing in. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, though.

there is the addressof-function. If this is really the problem, it
should be possible to allocate data + margin (e.g. c_int-arrays), and
cast the proper aligned address via from_address.

Cast the address to an integer and print it out? I think the data needs to
be 16-byte-aligned, so in hex, the units digit of the address should always
be zero. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hey,
I'm trying to wrap GNU readline with ctypes (the Python readline
library doesn't support the callback interface), but I can't figure out
how to set values to a variable inside the library. This is Python 2.5
on Linux. Here's what I have so far--if you comment out the memmove
call (3 lines) it works as expected:

How do I vary the byte offset of a field of a ctypes.Structure?
How do I "use the dynamic nature of Python, and (re-)define the data

For example, suppose sometimes I receive the value '\x03hi' + \x04bye'

Is there a way to take a ctypes.Structure-based class and convert it

Hmm. Okay. Start your program under gdb, find what data it's crashing on, check
the alignment on it, and if it's misaligned, figure out where that data is
coming from.
Is the ctypes driver doing the same exact operations as the C++ test harness? If
not, it may be exposing a bug in your code. I've had a few occasions when using
SSE2 intrinsics where I had a bug in my loop such that I was going off the end
of the array...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
