[issue26565] [ctypes] Add value attribute to non basic pointers.

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Eryk Sun’s as_void suggestion sounds similar to doing:

ctypes.cast(any_pointer, ctypes.c_void_p)

Why do you want the address? Perhaps it is good enough to get it from a void pointer:

ctypes.cast(any_pointer, ctypes.c_void_p).value

Maybe “pointer_value” would be less confusing than “toaddress”.
