[issue39471] Meaning and clarification of PyBuffer_Release()

[Sebastian Berg]

Sebastian Berg <sebastian at sipsolutions.net> added the comment:

Hmmm, it seems I had missed this chunk of PEP 3118 before:

> Exporters will need to define a bf_releasebuffer function if they can re-allocate their memory, strides, shape, suboffsets, or format variables which they might share through the struct bufferinfo.

Which reads like the opposite of what I would like to see, unfortunately. Which I guess means that the parsing issue should be addressed differently. Opinions still welcome, though.
