[issue15058] Potential Bugs in dlpvalloc and dlvalloc

[Ken Cheung]

New submission from Ken Cheung <msrbugzilla at gmail.com>:

I observed a code clone from the following files.

function : dlpvalloc @ (file: "Python-3.3.0a2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/dlmalloc.c", line: 4360)~4362
function : dlvalloc @ (file: "Python-3.3.0a2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/dlmalloc.c", line: 4353)~4355

The function dlpvalloc performs a bitwise operation at return while dlvalloc does not. I wonder if this is necessary in dlvalloc. The source code is included in the attachment. Hope it helps.
