ctypes now raises an ArgumentError when a callback is invoked with more than 1024 arguments. The ctypes module allocates arguments on the stack in ctypes_callproc() using alloca(), which is problematic when large numbers of arguments are passed. Instead of a stack overflow, this commit raises an ArgumentError if more than 1024 parameters are passed. (cherry picked from commit 29a1384) Co-authored-by: Sean Gillespie <sean@swgillespie.me>
