Debugging is sometimes quite time consuming, especially if you have just a "script" to work on.

The script itself might have a bug, or the binding - or somewhere in between - or is it really Unicorn?
Find it out - with the playground.

Here is a sample (minimal, extendable framework, single file) written in C
to play around to figure out if the bug is inside Unicorn.
Just attach your favorite debugger and step through the code to figure out whats happening.

As an example, I took the #1971 issue to play around.
Only a couple of lines should be needed to convert the python script into C, (you need that for the memory access).
Have a look into the "get_config" method to change the Unicorn specific and platform parameters.

The application sets up hooks and memory to operate on.
It reads a binary file and write it into memory if you provide the filename as argument during start-up of the app.
If no arguments are passed, a default "code chunk" is executed, which only contains invalid instructions to trigger hooks.

For simplicity, there are (almost) no nullptr checks for the pointers.
