/*
  How are functions called, and how are parameters converted to C ?

  1. _ctypes.c::PyCFuncPtr_call receives an argument tuple 'inargs' and a
  keyword dictionary 'kwds'.

  2. After several checks, _build_callargs() is called which returns another
  tuple 'callargs'.  This may be the same tuple as 'inargs', a slice of
  'inargs', or a completely fresh tuple, depending on several things (is it a
  COM method?, are 'paramflags' available?).

  3. _build_callargs also calculates bitarrays containing indexes into
  the callargs tuple, specifying how to build the return value(s) of
  the function.

  4. _ctypes_callproc is then called with the 'callargs' tuple.  _ctypes_callproc first
  allocates two arrays.  The first is an array of 'struct argument' items, the
  second array has 'void *' entries.

  5. If 'converters' are present (converters is a sequence of argtypes'
  from_param methods), for each item in 'callargs' converter is called and the
  result passed to ConvParam.  If 'converters' are not present, each argument
  is directly passed to ConvParm.

  6. For each arg, ConvParam stores the contained C data (or a pointer to it,
  for structures) into the 'struct argument' array.

  7. Finally, a loop fills the 'void *' array so that each item points to the
  data contained in or pointed to by the 'struct argument' array.

  8. The 'void *' argument array is what _call_function_pointer
  expects. _call_function_pointer then has very little to do - only some
  libffi specific stuff, then it calls ffi_call.

  So, there are 4 data structures holding processed arguments:
  - the inargs tuple (in PyCFuncPtr_call)
  - the callargs tuple (in PyCFuncPtr_call)
  - the 'struct arguments' array
  - the 'void *' array

/*
  ctypes maintains thread-local storage that has space for two error numbers:
  private copies of the system 'errno' value and, on Windows, the system error code
  accessed by the GetLastError() and SetLastError() api functions.

  Foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_errno=True), when called, swap
  the system 'errno' value with the private copy just before the actual
  function call, and swapped again immediately afterwards.  The 'use_errno'
  parameter defaults to False, in this case 'ctypes_errno' is not touched.

  On Windows, foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_last_error=True) or
  WinDLL(..., use_last_error=True) swap the system LastError value with the
  ctypes private copy.

  The values are also swapped immeditately before and after ctypes callback
  functions are called, if the callbacks are constructed using the new
  optional use_errno parameter set to True: CFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=TRUE) or
  WINFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=True).

  New ctypes functions are provided to access the ctypes private copies from
  Python:

  - ctypes.set_errno(value) and ctypes.set_last_error(value) store 'value' in
    the private copy and returns the previous value.

  - ctypes.get_errno() and ctypes.get_last_error() returns the current ctypes
    private copies value.

 * Convert a PyObject * into a parameter suitable to pass to an
 * C function call.
 *
 * 1. Python integers are converted to C int and passed by value.
 *    Py_None is converted to a C NULL pointer.
 *
 * 2. 3-tuples are expected to have a format character in the first
 *    item, which must be 'i', 'f', 'd', 'q', or 'P'.
 *    The second item will have to be an integer, float, double, long long
 *    or integer (denoting an address void *), will be converted to the
 *    corresponding C data type and passed by value.
 *
 * 3. Other Python objects are tested for an '_as_parameter_' attribute.
 *    The value of this attribute must be an integer which will be passed
 *    by value, or a 2-tuple or 3-tuple which will be used according
 *    to point 2 above. The third item (if any), is ignored. It is normally
 *    used to keep the object alive where this parameter refers to.
 *    XXX This convention is dangerous - you can construct arbitrary tuples
 *    in Python and pass them. Would it be safer to use a custom container
 *    datatype instead of a tuple?
 *
 * 4. Other Python objects cannot be passed as parameters - an exception is raised.
 *
 * 5. ConvParam will store the converted result in a struct containing format
 *    and value.
