If you use PyBytes APIs, you expect to find PyBytes functions in
the libs and also set breakpoints on these.
AFAICT, the PyBytes_* functions are in both Py2.6 and Py3 now, so no problem
here.
The PyBytes_* functions appear to be there, but a preprocessor macro
means it is actually the PyString_* functions that appear in the Python
DLL. That's great from a backwards compatibility point of view, but
seriously confusing from the point of view of anyone trying to embed or
otherwise debug Python 2.6.
Besides, how likely is it that users set a breakpoint on the PyBytes/PyString
functions?
Not very likely at all - but it would still be nice if the PyBytes_*
symbols were visible to the linker as well as the preprocessor.
Cheers,
Nick.
