[PyKDE] PyKDE] SIP 4.0 problems

[Paul F. Kunz]

   In this script

import sys
from qt import *
from sihippo import *

app = QApplication ( sys.argv )
ntc = NTupleController.instance()
nt2 = ntc.createCircularBuffer(2)
nt2.setLabels(['Time', 'TEM Current'])
nt2.setTitle('GTIC Test2')
time_list = range(100)
amps = [0.0] * 100
try :
    nt2.addColumn('Time', time_list)
    nt2.addColumn('TEM Current', amps)
except DataSourceException, detail :
    print detail.what()

the nt2.addColumn() throws and exception in C++.   If SIPed with -e it
works fine...

[pfkeb at kunz-pbdsl1 sip]$ python cb_addcol.py
NTuple::addColumn: column has wrong size
[pfkeb at kunz-pbdsl1 sip]$

But when SIPed with -e -g it yields ...

pfkeb at kunz-pbdsl1 sip]$ python cb_addcol.py
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[pfkeb at kunz-pbdsl1 sip]$

It also worked fine with SIP 3.8 and later.   This is true both for
Linux and Windows.

The group using this code needs SIP 4.x and the -g option for other
reasons. 

   What might be the cause of this problem.   The .sip file for
DataSourceException.sip is enclosed.

class DataSourceException

#include "datasrcs/DataSourceException.h"

public:

  DataSourceException ( const std::string & );
  const char * what () const throw ();

  char * __str__();
%MethodCode
    return PyString_FromString ( sipCpp->what() );
%End
