在我与 Python 集成的 C 模块的部分代码中,我有一个 char**(字符串数组),它被重复分配,填充分配的字符串,然后释放并再次分配。一般模式是,当调用某个函数(来自 Python)提供数组的新内容(作为列表)时,它会遍历字符串数组,释放每个字符串,然后释放数组本身。然后它再次分配数组以保存新 Python 列表的内容,然后为每个要保存的字符串分配内存。
这就是说我在尝试释放列表中的一个字符串时遇到错误。这个错误是确定性的;它总是来自程序中同一点的同一个单词列表中的同一个单词,但是那个单词或单词列表并没有什么特别之处。(它只是 ["CCellEnv", "18", "34"],与许多其他格式类似)我尝试在分配字符串的循环中添加一些调试代码;这是产生错误的函数:
static PyObject* py_set_static_line(PyObject* self, PyObject* args)
{
int i;
//Free the old values of the allocated variables, if there are any
if (numStaticWords > 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < numStaticWords; i++)
{
printf("Freeing word %d = '%s'\n", i, staticWords[i]);
free(staticWords[i]);
}
free(staticWords);
free(staticWordMatches);
}
//Parse arguments
PyObject* wordList;
unsigned short numWords;
PyObject* wordMatchesList;
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O!HO!", &PyList_Type, &wordList, &numWords, &PyList_Type, &wordMatchesList))
return NULL;
numStaticWords = numWords;
if (numStaticWords > 0)
{
staticWords = malloc(sizeof(char*) * numStaticWords);
staticWordMatches = malloc(sizeof(int) * numStaticWords);
PyObject* wordObj;
PyObject* matchObj;
char* word;
for (i = 0; i < numStaticWords; i++)
{
//wordList is the list of strings passed from Python
wordObj = PyList_GetItem(wordList, i);
word = PyString_AsString(wordObj); //word is "18" in the failing case
//staticWords is the char** array of strings, which has already been malloc'd
staticWords[i] = malloc(sizeof(char) * strlen(word));
//Test freeing the word to see if it crashes
free(staticWords[i]); //Crashes for one specific word
staticWords[i] = malloc(sizeof(char) * strlen(word));
strcpy(staticWords[i], word);
matchObj = PyList_GetItem(wordMatchesList, i);
if (matchObj == Py_None)
{
staticWordMatches[i] = -1;
}
else
{
staticWordMatches[i] = PyInt_AsLong(matchObj);
}
}
}
Py_RETURN_NONE;
}
因此,不知何故,总是且仅针对此特定字符串,分配内存以将其放入,然后立即释放该内存会导致错误。字符串的实际文本甚至没有复制到内存中。是什么导致了这种神秘的行为?
