pypy seg fault on larger byte arrays

[johnistan]

This came up in a pykafka compression issue.

https://github.com/Parsely/pykafka/issues/508

So byte arrays above a certain size causes a seg fault.

(pypy) ➜ cat s.py
from uuid import uuid4
import snappy

payload = b''.join([uuid4().bytes for i in range(10)])

c = snappy.compress(payload)
assert snappy.decompress(c) == payload
(pypy) ➜  python s.py
[1]    4587 segmentation fault (core dumped)  python s.py
(pypy) ➜  python
Python 2.7.10 (bbd45126bc69, Mar 18 2016, 21:35:08)
[PyPy 5.0.1 with GCC 4.8.4] on linux2

while

from uuid import uuid4
import snappy

payload = b''.join([uuid4().bytes for i in range(5)])

c = snappy.compress(payload)
assert snappy.decompress(c) == payload

passes

Also encounter a seg fault, any solution yet?

This lib looks more targeted for pypy

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypes-snappy

Just checked with PyPy-6.0.0, python-snappy-0.5.2, libsnappy-1.0.4 and libsnappy-1.1.7 and segfault was not reproduced.

@johnistan , @chineking still an issue for you?
