python list存储的是指向对象的指针,在字节对象上获取指向python memoryview的指针...

I have a python memoryview pointing to a bytes object on which I would like to perform some processing in cython.

My problem is:

because the bytes object is not writable, cython does not allow constructing a typed (cython) memoryview from it

I cannot use pointers either because I cannot get a pointer to the memoryview start

Example:

In python:

array = memoryview(b'abcdef')[3:]

In cython:

cdef char * my_ptr = &array[0] fails to compile with the message: Cannot take address of Python variable

cdef char[:] my_view = array fails at runtime with the message: BufferError: memoryview: underlying buffer is not writable

How does one solve this?

解决方案

Ok, after digging through the python api I found a solution to get a pointer to the bytes object's buffer in a memoryview (here called bytes_view = memoryview(bytes())). Maybe this helps somebody else:

from cpython.buffer cimport PyObject_GetBuffer, PyBuffer_Release, PyBUF_ANY_CONTIGUOUS, PyBUF_SIMPLE

cdef Py_buffer buffer

cdef char * my_ptr

PyObject_GetBuffer(bytes, &buffer, PyBUF_SIMPLE | PyBUF_ANY_CONTIGUOUS)

try:

my_ptr = buffer.buf

# use my_ptr

finally:

PyBuffer_Release(&buffer)
