Bringing the hell of pointers to Python
Why would you ever need this
Example
from pointers import to_ptr, Pointer, decay
a: str = '123'
b: str = 'abc'
@decay
def move(ptr_a: Pointer[str], ptr_b: Pointer[str]):
ptr_a <<= ptr_b
move(a, b)
print(a, b) # abc abcExample with malloc
from pointers import malloc, free memory = malloc(52) memory <<= "abc" print(*memory) # abc free(memory) print(*memory) # MemoryError
Why does this exist?
The main purpose of pointers.py is to simply break the rules of Python, but has some other use cases:
- Can help C/C++ developers get adjusted to Python
- Provides a nice learning environment for programmers learning how pointers work
- Makes it very easy to manipulate memory in Python
- Why not?
