This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause the
|
||
|
|
interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always be empty, but
|
||
|
|
sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause and the bug is deemed
|
||
|
|
too obscure to invest the effort.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each test should fail when run from the command line:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine the cause of the
|
||
|
|
failure, as well as a bugs.python.org issue number if it exists. Particularly
|
||
|
|
note if the cause is system or environment dependent and what the variables are.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate test
|
||
|
|
(even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the regression
|
||
|
|
doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier to track down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also see Lib/test_crashers.py which exercises the crashers in this directory.
|
||
|
|
In particular, make sure to add any new infinite loop crashers to the black
|
||
|
|
list so it doesn't try to run them.
