Julian Andres Klode <j...@jak-linux.org> added the comment:
The problem I see here is that there is no public way to simply get a C string
from a unicode object similar to PyBytes_AsString() for bytes. That's bad
because we don't want to rewrite the whole code to duplicate strings all the
time and free every string we get from a MyPyUnicode_AsString() like function.
I used the following, but this clearly has a memory leak:
static const char *MyPyUnicode_AsString(PyObject *op) {
PyObject *bytes = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(op,0,0);
return bytes ? PyBytes_AS_STRING(bytes) : 0;
}
I now use the following which has no memory leak, but needs an internal
function (I would use _PyUnicode_AsString, but I need Python 2.X compatibility
as well):
static const char *MyPyUnicode_AsString(PyObject *op) {
PyObject *bytes = _PyUnicode_AsDefaultEncodedString(op, 0);
return bytes ? PyBytes_AS_STRING(bytes) : 0;
}
So could something be done about this?
