[PyQt] CoreDump when calling slot with 'const char*' arguement

[Alexis Boutillier]

Hi,

I'm having a core dump when connecting a signal define in a PyQt wrapped 
c++ class to a python method.
The c++ signal have (const char*, int, int, int, int) as arguments.

I investigate the core and found that the problem is in the conversion 
from c++ types to python types:

in #11 0x00726c94 in PyQtProxy::invokeSlot (slot=@0x91104f4, 
qargs=0xbfffac24) at qpycore_pyqtproxy.cpp:444
A tuple is filed with the C++ element converted to python.
Looking at the element in the tuple, the "int" are correctly added but 
the "const char *" is not (can't print it with 
PyString_AsString(PyObject_Repr)))

Looking further, in PyObject *Chimera::toPyObject(void *cpp) const,
The "int" parameters have the metatype 2 corresponding to QMetaType::Int 
which is OK
But the "const char *" have metatype 256 which is PyQt_PyObject::metatype

Looking at what was done in PyQt 4.4.4, in PyQt 4.5.xxxx there is no 
call to PyString_FromString to convert a "const char*" is it done by the 
sipConvertFromType(cpp, _type, 0);

Can someone help me for where to continue investigate this problem ?

Regards,

sip 4.8.20090401
PyQt 4.5-20090401
qt 4.5.0
python 2.6.0
