Pointer exceptions with zint version 2.6.3 #4

Closed msharp closed 5 years ago

msharp commented 5 years ago

When using Zint version 2.6.3, calls to zint.bitmapbuf() throw a ValueError.

Like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 135, in handle
    self.handle_request(listener, req, client, addr)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 176, in handle_request
    respiter = self.wsgi(environ, resp.start_response)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/api.py", line 269, in __call__
    responder(req, resp, **params)
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 193, in on_get
    resp.stream = bc.barcode()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 74, in barcode
    img = self._get_png_image()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 124, in _get_png_image
    frame = self._get_pixel_map()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 101, in _get_pixel_map
    bitmap = zint.bitmapbuf(self.symbol)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/src/zint/zint/zint.py", line 192, in bitmapbuf
    return cast(z.contents.bitmap, POINTER(c_char * blen))[0]
ValueError: NULL pointer access

Or this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 135, in handle
    self.handle_request(listener, req, client, addr)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 176, in handle_request
    respiter = self.wsgi(environ, resp.start_response)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/api.py", line 269, in __call__
    responder(req, resp, **params)
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 192, in on_get
    resp.stream = bc.barcode()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 74, in barcode
    img = self._get_png_image()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 124, in _get_png_image
    frame = self._get_pixel_map()
  File "/app/src/barcodez.py", line 101, in _get_pixel_map
    bitmap = zint.bitmapbuf(self.symbol)
  File "/app/.local/share/virtualenvs/src-sjxfABcx/src/zint/zint/zint.py", line 192, in bitmapbuf
    return cast(z.contents.bitmap, POINTER(c_char * blen))[0]
ValueError: Array length must be >= 0, not -38358258164736

The problem seems to be that Zint introduced a new symbol property for fontsize in this commit and it is incompatible with the python code.

Fixed, and recently released as v1.2. Published to PyPi as well. Thank you for your input!
