使用Python C API时出现奇怪的内存行为

我正在尝试使用Python C API在C ++库上实现Python包装器。我需要实现转换,以便我可以在Python和C ++中使用对象。我过去已经这样做但我有一个错误,我真的很难过。

我有一个非常基本的测试功能:

PyObject* convert_to_python() {
    std::cout << "Convert to PyObject" << std::endl;
    long int a = 20;
    PyObject* py_a = PyInt_FromLong(a);
    std::cout << "Convert to PyObject ok" << std::endl;
    return py_a;
}

我在GoogleTest宏中调用此函数:

TEST(Wrapper, ConvertTest) {
    PyObject *py_m = convert_to_python();
}

我的输出是:

Convert to PyObject
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

我还在上面运行了valgrind:

valgrind --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes --leak-check=full ./my_convert

但它没有给我太多关于它的信息:

我认为这段代码应该可行,但我无法理解我写的内容。我错误地包含或链接了Python文件和库吗?

编辑:没有错误

#include <Python.h>

PyObject* convert_long_int(long int a) {
  PyObject *ret = PyInt_FromLong(a);
  return ret;
}

int main(void) {
  long int a = 65454984;
  PyObject *pya = convert_long_int(a);
  return 0;
}

如果使用gcc -o wraptest -I/usr/include/python2.7 wraptest.c -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -lpython2.7

进行编译

初始化有什么作用?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

我可以在Ubuntu 16.04和Python 2.7上确认分段错误,如果我省略了初始化。

查看Embedding Python in Another Application,就是这个例子

#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]);  /* optional but recommended */
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
                     "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

所以当我做一个等效的最小主

int main()
{
    Py_Initialize();
    PyObject *p = convert_to_python();
    Py_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

它没有崩溃。

两个例子之间的区别是

long int a = 20;

long int a = 65454984;

我想,这与PyInt_FromLong(long ival)

有关
  

当前实现为-5到256之间的所有整数保留一个整数对象数组,当您在该范围内创建一个int时,实际上只返回对现有对象的引用。

也许Python尝试在没有初始化的情况下访问未初始化的指针或内存范围。

当我使用a = 256更改示例时,它会崩溃。使用a = 257,它没有。

查看cpython/Objects/intobject.c:79,您可以看到指针数组

static PyIntObject *small_ints[NSMALLNEGINTS + NSMALLPOSINTS];

,可在PyInt_FromLong(long ival)

下方访问
v = small_ints[ival + NSMALLNEGINTS];
Py_INCREF(v);

但没有_PyInt_Init(void)

的初始化
for (ival = -NSMALLNEGINTS; ival < NSMALLPOSINTS; ival++) {
    if (!free_list && (free_list = fill_free_list()) == NULL)
        return 0;
    /* PyObject_New is inlined */
    v = free_list;
    free_list = (PyIntObject *)Py_TYPE(v);
    (void)PyObject_INIT(v, &PyInt_Type);
    v->ob_ival = ival;
    small_ints[ival + NSMALLNEGINTS] = v;
}

这些指针都是NULL,导致崩溃。
