[Numpy-discussion] Re: ANN: numarray-1.2.3 -- segfault in in my C program

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
After upgrading from numarray 1.1  (now 1.2.3)
We get a Segmentation fault in our C++ program on Linux (python2.2,gcc2.95) , 
gdb says this: 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

To initialize libnumarray I was using this:
   {
//      import_libnumarray();
      {
        PyObject *module = PyImport_ImportModule("numarray.libnumarray");
        if (!module)
              Py_FatalError("Can't import module 'numarray.libnumarray'");
        if (module != NULL) {
          PyObject *module_dict = PyModule_GetDict(module);
          PyObject *c_api_object =
                 PyDict_GetItemString(module_dict, "_C_API");
          if (PyCObject_Check(c_api_object)) {
            libnumarray_API = (void **)PyCObject_AsVoidPtr(c_api_object);
          } else {
            Py_FatalError("Can't get API for module 'numarray.libnumarray'");
          }
        }
      }
  }

Any idea ?

Thanks,
