I sent this by mail to jcw, but it might be more
appropriate on the mailing list.
It seems that c4_Bytes.Modify() sometimes mangles the
data on insertions. I first encountered the problem
using the C++ API, but it is a bit easier to
demonstrate with a python script:
import Mk4py
import random
s = Mk4py.storage()
v = s.getas("v[b:B]")
p = Mk4py.property("B", "b")
v.append()
pystring = v[0].b = "test"
for i in range(20):
# Create a random range string
x = random.randrange(10)
randstring = str(x)*x
# insert it at a random position in the text
pos = random.randrange(len(v[0].b))
print i, "I", pos, randstring
v.modify(p, 0, randstring, pos, len(randstring))
# Keep a matching python string
pystring = pystring[:pos] + randstring +
pystring[pos:]
if pystring != v[0].b:
print "ERROR: string mismatch"
print v[0].b
print pystring
I seem to start to get errors in the data within the
first 5-10 tries.
I am using metakit 2.4.9.3
