[issue12834] memorview.to_bytes() and PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays
Stefan Krah added the comment: Christian's posts and my initial report were about memoryview.tobytes(). It's good that you changed the title: memoryview.tobytes() is more meaningful than the slightly obscure PyBuffer_ToContiguous(). BTW, I'm sure that PyBuffer_FromContiguous() and PyObject_CopyData() have the same problem, but they aren't used in the Python source tree and they are undocumented. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12834 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12834] memorview.to_bytes() and PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays
Nick Coghlan added the comment: Was the point that memoryview.tobytes() has a known data corruption bug in 3.2 and 2.7 raised in the previous discussion? I'm pretty sure I had forgotten about it, and I don't remember it coming up in the thread. The trickiest aspect of a backport of the new implementation is that we need to preserve the C ABI - extensions compiled against any maintenance release should work with all maintenance releases in that series. The new APIs aren't a major problem - just sprinkle a few underscores around to mark them as private on the older versions (I've certainly done that before when a bug fix genuinely needed something that qualified as a new feature: implemented a private version to use in fixing the bug on the maintenance branch, then promote that to a public API on trunk) -- priority: normal - high title: PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays - memorview.to_bytes() and PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12834 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
