From f73bab7f9665beacb0bd95c068129448a833fe2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Jansen Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 14:51:03 +0000 Subject: Added an attribute string_id_to_buffer, which gives the offset you have to add to the id() of a string to get the address of the data. This is a horrible and error-prone hack, but unfortunately it is one that is needed for playing audio and crearing pixmaps. Having the constant here is at least marginally better than the previous practice of having the constant 16 all over the place... --- Mac/Modules/macosmodule.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/Mac/Modules/macosmodule.c b/Mac/Modules/macosmodule.c index 89f986b..90be55d 100644 --- a/Mac/Modules/macosmodule.c +++ b/Mac/Modules/macosmodule.c @@ -637,5 +637,17 @@ MacOS_Init() MacOS_Error = PyMac_GetOSErrException(); if (MacOS_Error == NULL || PyDict_SetItemString(d, "Error", MacOS_Error) != 0) Py_FatalError("can't define MacOS.Error"); + /* + ** This is a hack: the following constant added to the id() of a string + ** object gives you the address of the data.
