[New-bugs-announce] [issue3694] Undetected error in _struct.pack_into

[Daniel Diniz]

New submission from Daniel Diniz <ajaksu at gmail.com>:

The following code leads to XXX Undetected errors in debug builds of
trunk and 3.0:

import _struct
_struct.pack_into(b"8", bytearray(1), None)

Besides that, there's something fishy happening in non-debug builds: 

2.6:
>>> _struct.pack_into(b"8", bytearray(1), None);
>>> _struct.pack_into(b"8", bytearray(1), None);
>>> import sys
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: an integer is required

3.0:
>>> _struct.pack_into(b"8", bytearray(1), None)
>>> _struct.pack_into(b"8", bytearray(1), None)
SystemError: Objects/longobject.c:433: bad argument to internal function


Found with Fusil.
