Walkthrough

The C API adds PyObject_CheckBuffer. It returns 1 when an object supports the buffer protocol and 0 otherwise. Tests cover bytes, bytearray, list, None, and a released memoryview.

Changes: Buffer API additions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffer protocol check
crates/capi/src/pybuffer.rs
Adds PyObject_CheckBuffer and tests its results for bytes, bytearray, list, None, and a released memoryview.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

298-300: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Cover a buffer request that fails in object_check_buffer.

The test checks buffer-exporting objects that acquire successfully (bytes, bytearray) and objects without a buffer slot (list, None). PyObject_CheckBuffer reads only the slot, so an implementation that tries to acquire a buffer and returns 0 on failure would still pass. The doc comment on check_buffer states this distinction as the reason the function exists.

Add a case where the slot is present and acquisition fails. A released memoryview over the bytes object is a practical fixture. Call release() on it, then assert that PyObject_CheckBuffer returns 1. Acquisition on a released view raises ValueError through try_usable, so the case exercises the gap.

This is a coverage gap. The current implementation returns the correct result.

385-394: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Add a zero-dimension call with null pointers to the test.

The test covers only ndim = -1 with null pointers. The current guard ndim <= 0 returns before any pointer use, so that call passes. If the guard changes to ndim < 0, a ndim = 0 call would pass null pointers to core::slice::from_raw_parts. That function requires non-null pointers even for zero-length slices. The test profile keeps debug assertions enabled, so the standard library's precondition check can reject the null pointers. The c-api test step on non-Windows runners can then fail.

         unsafe {
             PyBuffer_FillContiguousStrides(
                 -1,

The current PR description includes the issue relationship, the AI policy checkbox, and the Summary section from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. The tracking issue remains open because this PR adds only PyObject_CheckBuffer. The earlier template note is addressed; please re-review this PR.
