STINNER Victor added the comment: ctypes gives you a raw access to the memory. If you try to read unmapped memory areas, the program may or may not crash. Usually, you get a segmentation fault.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault Python doesn't provide a portable behaviour on segmentation faults. Note: You can use faulthandler to get the backtrace on segmentation fault. ---------- nosy: +haypo resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24714> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
