从C代码调用Cython函数会引发分段错误

Question

我正在尝试在C程序中调用cython（cdef）函数。当cdef函数包含python语句（例如print（0.5）或python（def）函数）时，调用（cdef）函数会引发分段错误。

.pyx文件：

# cython: language_level=3

cdef public double PI = 3.1415926

cdef public double get_e():
    print("calling get_e()")
    return 2.718281828

.c文件：

#include "Python.h"
#include "transcendentals.h"
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  Py_Initialize();
  PyInit_transcendentals();
  printf("pi**e: %f\n", pow(PI, get_e()));
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

编译命令：

cython transcendentals.pyx

gcc -I. -I/usr/include/python3.5m -I/usr/include/python3.5m \
-Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare \
-g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat \
-Werror=format-security -DNDEBUG -g \
-fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes \
-L/usr/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m-x86_64-linux-gnu \
-L/usr/lib transcendentals.c main.c \
-lpython3.5m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker \
-export-dynamic -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions

当我删除get_e函数的print语句时，不会出现任何分段错误。但是PI的值为0。

I guess you are using Cython 0.29. Since 0.29, PEP-489 multi-phase module initialisation has been enabled for Python versions >=3.5. This means, using PyInit_XXX is no longer sufficient, as you are experiencing.

Cython's documentation suggest to use inittab mechanism, i.e. your main-function should look something like:

#include "Python.h"
#include "transcendentals.h"
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int status=PyImport_AppendInittab("transcendentals", PyInit_transcendentals);
  if(status==-1){
    return -1;//error
  } 
  Py_Initialize();
  PyObject *module = PyImport_ImportModule("transcendentals");

  if(module==NULL){
     Py_Finalize();
     return -1;//error
  }

  printf("pi**e: %f\n", pow(PI, get_e()));
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

Another possibility to restore the old behavior would be to define macro CYTHON_PEP489_MULTI_PHASE_INIT=0 and thus overriding the default by e.g. passing -DCYTHON_PEP489_MULTI_PHASE_INIT=0 to gcc on the command line.
