[New-bugs-announce] [issue30527] PyMemoryView_FromBuffer memory leak

[Christoph Reiter]

New submission from Christoph Reiter:

I'm using the following code

PyObject *
get_memoryview (PyObject *self) {
    Py_buffer view;

    ...

    // this takes a ref on self
    if (PyBuffer_FillInfo (&view, self, buffer, length, 0, 0) < 0)
        return NULL;

    // this returns a <memory> object
    return PyMemoryView_FromBuffer (&view);
}

The problem is that when I call release() on the returned memory object
the buffer does not get release and as a result the exporter leaks.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
