New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Proposed patch adds the "const" qualifier to char and wchar_t pointers in the posix module to prevents possible bugs. These pointers point to internal data of PyBytes or PyUnicode objects or to C string literals, and unintentional changing the content is a hard bug. I expect that the patch can also eliminate some compiler warnings.
Since large part of the code is Windows specific, the patch needs to be tested on Windows. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: posixmodule_constify.patch keywords: patch messages: 262978 nosy: larry, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Constify C string pointers in the posix module type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42389/posixmodule_constify.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26708> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
