After some failures in AMD64 FreeBSD CURRENT Debug 3.x buildbots
regarding tests in test_multiprocessing_spawn and after examining
similar failures in test_socket, some errors in the calculation of
ancillary data buffers were found in multiprocessing.reduction.
CMSG_LEN() can often be used as the buffer size for recvmsg() to
receive a single item of ancillary data, but RFC 3542 requires portable
applications to use CMSG_SPACE() and thus include space for padding,
even when the item will be the last in the buffer.
The failures we experience are due to the usage of CMSG_LEN() instead of
CMSG_SPACE().
Fix a race condition in Popen of
multiprocessing.popen_spawn_win32. The child process now duplicates
the read end of pipe instead of "stealing" it.
Previously, the read end of pipe was "stolen" by the child process,
but it leaked a handle if the child process had been terminated
before it could steal the handle from the parent process.
* Make error message more informative
Replace assertions in error-reporting code with more-informative version that doesn't cause confusion over where and what the error is.
* Additional clarification + get travis to check
* Change from SystemError to TypeError
As suggested in PR comment by @pitrou, changing from SystemError; TypeError appears appropriate.
* NEWS file installation; ACKS addition (will do my best to justify it by additional work)
* Making current AssertionErrors in multiprocessing more informative
* Blurb added re multiprocessing managers.py, queues.py cleanup
* Further multiprocessing cleanup - went through pool.py
* Fix two asserts in multiprocessing/util.py
* Most asserts in multiprocessing more informative
* Didn't save right version
* Further work on multiprocessing error messages
* Correct typo
* Correct typo v2
* Blasted colon... serves me right for trying to work on two things at once
* Simplify NEWS entry
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
OK, never mind.
* Corrected (thanks to pitrou) error messages for notify
* Remove extraneous backslash in docstring.
The test suite currently skips test_multiprocessing on Windows
because it fails on finding _multiprocessing in several
win32-specific blocks. Removing the relative import lets this
through and allows the test to run (and pass).
