* Move get_signal_name() from test.libregrtest to test.support.
* Use get_signal_name() in support.script_helper.
* support.script_helper now decodes stdout and stderr from UTF-8,
instead of ASCII, if a command failed.
When creating the JUnit XML file, regrtest now escapes characters
which are invalid in XML, such as the chr(27) control character used
in ANSI escape sequences.
* Add an InternalDocs file describing how interning should work and how to use it.
* Add internal functions to *explicitly* request what kind of interning is done:
- `_PyUnicode_InternMortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternStatic`
* Switch uses of `PyUnicode_InternInPlace` to those.
* Disallow using `_Py_SetImmortal` on strings directly.
You should use `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal` instead:
- Strings should be interned before immortalization, otherwise you're possibly
interning a immortalizing copy.
- `_Py_SetImmortal` doesn't handle the `SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL` to
`SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL` update, and those flags can't be changed in
backports, as they are now part of public API and version-specific ABI.
* Add private `_only_immortal` argument for `sys.getunicodeinternedsize`, used in refleak test machinery.
* Make sure the statically allocated string singletons are unique. This means these sets are now disjoint:
- `_Py_ID`
- `_Py_STR` (including the empty string)
- one-character latin-1 singletons
Now, when you intern a singleton, that exact singleton will be interned.
* Add a `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` macro, use it instead of `_Py_ID`/`_Py_STR` for one-character latin-1 singletons everywhere (including Clinic).
* Intern `_Py_STR` singletons at startup.
* For free-threaded builds, intern `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` singletons at startup.
* Beef up the tests. Cover internal details (marked with `@cpython_only`).
* Add lots of assertions

regrtest test runner: Add XML support to the refleak checker
(-R option).
* run_unittest() now stores XML elements as string, rather than
objects, in support.junit_xml_list.
* runtest_refleak() now saves/restores XML strings before/after
checking for reference leaks. Save XML into a temporary file.
Deferred reference counting is not fully implemented yet. As a temporary
measure, we immortalize objects that would use deferred reference
counting to avoid multi-threaded scaling bottlenecks.
This is only performed in the free-threaded build once the first
non-main thread is started. Additionally, some tests, including refleak
tests, suppress this behavior.
The worker thread may still be alive after it enqueues it's last result,
which can lead to a delay of 30 seconds after the test finishes. This
happens much more frequently in the free-threaded build with the GIL
disabled.
This changes run_workers.py to track of live workers by enqueueing a
`WorkerExited()` instance before the worker exits.
test_match_tests now saves and restores patterns.
Add get_match_tests() function to libregrtest.filter.
Previously, running test_regrtest multiple times in a row only ran
tests once: "./python -m test test_regrtest -R 3:3.
The problem manifested when the .py module got reloaded and the corresponding extension module didn't. The .py module registers types with the extension and the extension was not allowing that to happen more than once. The solution: let it happen more than once.
Instead of showing a dot for each iteration, show:
- '.' for zero (on negative) leaks
- number of leaks for 1-9
- 'X' if there are more leaks
This allows more rapid iteration: when bisecting, I don't need
to wait for the final report to see if the test still leaks.
Also, show the full result if there are any non-zero entries.
This shows negative entries, for the unfortunate cases where
a reference is created and cleaned up in different runs.
Test *failure* is still determined by the existing heuristic.
* test.bisect_cmd now exit with code 0 on success, and code 1 on
failure. Before, it was the opposite.
* test.bisect_cmd now runs the test worker process with
-X faulthandler.
* regrtest RunTests: Add create_python_cmd() and bisect_cmd()
methods.
Work around test.support.interpreters.channels not handling unloading, which
regrtest does when running tests sequentially, by explicitly skipping the
unloading of test.support.interpreters and its submodules.
This can be rolled back once test.support.interpreters.channels supports
unloading, if we are keeping sequential runs in the same process around.
Some socket tests related to sending file descriptors cause a file descriptor leak on macOS, all of them tests that send one or more descriptors than cannot be received on the read end. This appears to be a platform bug.
This PR skips those tests when doing a refleak test run to avoid hiding other problems.
Now all results from worker processes are aggregated and
displayed together as a summary at the end of a regrtest run.
The traditional trace is left in place for use with sequential
in-process test runs but now raises a warning that those
numbers are not precise.
`-T -j` requires `--with-pydebug` as it relies on `-Xpresite=`.
In most cases, doctest is not needed. So don't always import it at
startup. The change reduces the number of modules already
imported when a test is run.
Test case matching patterns specified by options --match, --ignore,
--matchfile and --ignorefile are now tested in the order of
specification, and the last match determines whether the test case be run
or ignored.
