[PyQt] a small bug in SIP, when using it for C libraries (sorry for previous post, its message was scrubbed)

[Ravi kumar]

Hello, I was trying out the tutorial of SIP from
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/sip4/using.html.
When i tried the C++ example there, it worked fine. But when i tried
the C example it gave errors.

I searched for the error, in generated file sipwordWord.c, in
array_Word function, this was generated

return sipMalloc(sizeof * (struct Word) * sipNrElem);

i modified it to this (which i hope is correct, according to what is
desired from the function) :

return sipMalloc(sizeof (struct Word) * sipNrElem);

and then it worked fine.

After this i modified the sip source code, and created a diff patchfile:

diff -rup original/sipgen/gencode.c modified/sipgen/gencode.c

My system specifications are :

os : Ubuntu 9.10
gcc : 4.4.1
python : 3.1
sip : sip-4.10-snapshot-20091204 (my patch is made against this very version)

and finally, thanks for such a great tool :)
