Hi there,

i am working with MySQL 3.22.27 and Python 1.5.2 (MySQLmodule 1.4).

This module is using the function mysql_fetch_field_direct which is
defined in the reference manual as:

MYSQL_FIELD *mysql_fetch_field_direct(MYSQL_RES *result, unsigned int
fieldnr)

In mysql.h it is defined as:

#define mysql_fetch_field_direct(res,fieldnr) (&(res)->fields[fieldnr])

In an older revision the first & before res was not there. The module
relies on the
older revision so i wonder if this is a mistake or if the source has
been changed
on purpose.

The module is using the function in the following way:

static PyObject *
pythonify_res_fields(res)
     MYSQL_RES *res;
{
    int i;
    MYSQL_FIELD *tf;
[...]
        tf = &(mysql_fetch_field_direct(res, i));
[...]
}

My C reading is pretty bad so i need your help: Should i change the
source code of the
module or of MySQL.

Many thanks,
Marc
