   bizzare embedded python error
  i just started getting into the whole embedded languages thing and python looks so promising. however i was messing around looking at code snippets and generally playing around with the boost.python / python API when i got this strange debug runtime assertion error from Py_Finalize(),this is the assert that failed that happened in Py_Finalize() /** If this ASSERT fails, a bad pointer has been passed in. It may be* totally bogus, or it may have been allocated from another heap.* The pointer MUST come from the 'local' heap.*/ASSERTE(_CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData));This is source code i used, note: everything compiled and linked fine.   #include <stdio.h>#include <string>#include <boost\python.hpp>struct World{void Set(std::string m){ msg = m;}std::string Greet(){return msg;}std::string msg;};BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello){class_<World>("World").def("Set", &World::Set).def("Greet",&World::Greet);}int main(){Py_Initialize();inithello();if(PyRun_SimpleString( "import hello\n"  "planet = hello.World()\n"  "planet.Set('Kick Ass!')\n"  "print planet.Greet()") == -1){printf("Error Running script");}Py_Finalize();return 0;}the error only occurs in the debug build. im using Python2.2 and boost 1.30.2 .I would like to know why this assert failure is happening. i cant see any reason why it would happen except for maybe the custom module being loaded.Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'... - Shawshank RedemptionIf a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong? - UnknownFulcrum[edited by - syrillix on February 14, 2004 12:44:41 AM]
  I'm guessing you have some sort of memory allocation error in the module you're wrapping with Boost:: Python. Possibly a double-free.
