[ldns-users] decoupling rr and rdf in the python wrapper

[Bedrich Kosata]

Hi,

as I wrote some time ago, there is still a problem with the ldns Python 
wrapper, because an RR shares its data with the included RDF and if the 
RDF is stored in a variable and the RR is garbage collected, the RDF 
data is no longer available.
I attach two scripts that demonstrate this problem (one gives empty RDF 
instead of the actual data and one segfaults).
I also attach a patch which clones all RDFs when retreived from an RR 
and also when RDF is set to an RR. This should decouple the RDF and RR 
data completely in the Python wrapper, thus making it possible for the 
objects to be garbage collected in any order at any time.

Best regards

Beda

p.s.- as with the patch in the previous email, the patch is against the 
current svn version.
