I think the error comes from the ctypes interpretation of the
structure. utsname is not made of char* pointers, but (at least on the
debian machine I have access to) the members are actually fixed arrays
of chars, the lengths of which are not public, but well specified in
sys/utsname.h.
It should make no difference when translated, because the code looks
like v->sysname etc.
ctypes on the other hand needs to know the precise sizeof and offsets
of each member.
I tried to modify the _socket module to also use rffi, and had the same problem.
I think that we will need a tool similar to
pypy.rpython.rctypes.tool.ctypes_platform, which generates and
compiles C code to get the different sizes and offsets.
(We will need support for C defines as well)
Hope this helps,
