+r'''
+This tests the '_objects' attribute of ctypes instances.  '_objects'
+holds references to objects that must be kept alive as long as the
+ctypes instance, to make sure that the memory buffer is valid.
+
+WARNING: The '_objects' attribute is exposed ONLY for debugging ctypes itself,
+it MUST NEVER BE MODIFIED!
+
+'_objects' is initialized to a dictionary on first use, before that it
+is None.
+
+Here is an array of string pointers:
+
+>>> from ctypes import *
+>>> array = (c_char_p * 5)()
+>>> print array._objects
+None
+>>>
+
+The memory block stores pointers to strings, and the strings itself
+assigned from Python must be kept.
+
+>>> array[4] = 'foo bar'
+>>> array._objects
+{'4': 'foo bar'}
+>>> array[4]
+'foo bar'
+>>>
+
+It gets more complicated when the ctypes instance itself is contained
+in a 'base' object.
+
+>>> class X(Structure):
+...     _fields_ = [("x", c_int), ("y", c_int), ("array", c_char_p * 5)]
+...
+>>> x = X()
+>>> print x._objects
+None
+>>>
+
+The'array' attribute of the 'x' object shares part of the memory buffer
+of 'x' ('_b_base_' is either None, or the root object owning the memory block):
+
+>>> print x.array._b_base_ # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+<ctypes.test.test_objects.X object at 0x...>
