# IMPORTANT INFO:
#
# Consider this call:
#    func.restype = c_char_p
#    func(c_char_p("123"))
# It returns
#    "123"
#
# WHY IS THIS SO?
#
# argument tuple (c_char_p("123"), ) is destroyed after the function
# func is called, but NOT before the result is actually built.
#
# If the arglist would be destroyed BEFORE the result has been built,
# the c_char_p("123") object would already have a zero refcount,
# and the pointer passed to (and returned by) the function would
# probably point to deallocated space.
#
# In this case, there would have to be an additional reference to the argument...
