Summary

  • Call __ctypes_from_outparam__ for pure OUT parameters, honoring overrides and propagating lookup or conversion errors.
  • Return the original object for IN/OUT parameters, instead of reading its .value.
  • Keep output arguments alive throughout result construction and release the raw return value before output conversion callbacks.

Scope

The follow-on for supplied pure-OUT defaults has been reverted: a later argument converter can resize a default object's buffer after a raw pointer is captured, so that expanded path needs a separate buffer-lifetime solution. Existing implicit-OUT from_param and array handling, argument conversion/interleaving error order, and the errcheck argument tuple and snapshot timing also remain separate. The replacement-result decision is addressed independently by #9616.

Validation

  • Compared with CPython 3.15.0 _build_result. CPython 3.15 libc time reproductions confirmed custom pure-OUT conversion and exception propagation, and IN/OUT identity.
  • Independent source review and normal commit hooks (including rustfmt) passed. The final file diff was verified identical to the original reviewed commit after reverting the follow-on.
  • RustPython was not built or executed locally. No tests were added or changed; hosted CI is expected to run existing ctypes tests.

Use __ctypes_from_outparam__ for pure OUT values and preserve IN/OUT object identity. Propagate conversion errors and release the raw result before callbacks.

Pass a supplied OUT default through the argument converter, retain its owner across the foreign call, and use that same object for output conversion.

A live default buffer can be resized by a later argument converter after its raw pointer is captured. Revert this expanded path until buffer lifetime is protected.
