Hi,
I am trying to run the following program:
#include <iostream>
#include <Python.h>
#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
{ // Using Python/C
Py_Initialize();
PyObject* main_module = PyImport_ImportModule("__main__");
PyObject* globals = PyEval_GetGlobals();
PyObject* locals = PyEval_GetLocals();
PyRun_SimpleString("print 'Hello World, from Python/C!'\n");
Py_Finalize();
}
{ // Using boost::python
Py_Initialize();
object main_module = import("__main__");
object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
try {
object ignored = exec("print 'Hello World, from boost::python!'\n",
main_namespace);
Py_Finalize();
} catch (error_already_set const& e) {
PyErr_Print();
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
on Linux (both x86 and x86_64), with Ubuntu's default version of Boost
(1.34.1) installed, I am able to do so as expected:
$ ./embed
Hello World, from Python/C!
Hello World, from boost::python!
on Mac OS X, I get a runtime error:
$ ./embed
Hello World, from Python/C!
Bus Error
Running with gdb, this is the stack trace:
Hello World, from Python/C!
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000000

For this Mac, boost version is latest (1.38) and python version is:
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67917, Dec 23 2008, 14:57:27)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Is this a bug? I attached the source and the cmake file I am using to
build, for convenience.
Thanks,
--Igor.
