_PyArg_Parser holds static global data generated for modules by Argument Clinic. The _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple field is a tuple object, even though it's stored within a static global. In some cases the tuple is statically allocated and thus it's okay that it gets shared by multiple interpreters. However, in other cases the tuple is set lazily, allocated from the heap using the active interprepreter at the point the tuple is needed. This is a problem once that interpreter is destroyed since _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple becomes at dangling pointer, leading to crashes. It isn't a problem if the tuple is allocated under the main interpreter, since its lifetime is bound to the lifetime of the runtime. The solution here is to temporarily switch to the main interpreter. The alternative would be to always statically allocate the tuple. This change also fixes a bug where only the most recent parser was added to the global linked list. |

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful while building or extending Python. build Automatically generated directory by the build system contain build artifacts and intermediate files. buildbot Batchfiles for running on Windows buildbot workers. c-analyzer Tools to check no new global variables have been added. cases_generator Tooling to generate interpreters. clinic A preprocessor for CPython C files in order to automate the boilerplate involved with writing argument parsing code for "builtins". freeze Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program. gdb Python code to be run inside gdb, to make it easier to debug Python itself (by David Malcolm). i18n Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py parses Python source code and generates .pot files, and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog from a catalog in text format. importbench A set of micro-benchmarks for various import scenarios. msi Support for packaging Python as an MSI package on Windows. nuget Files for the NuGet package manager for .NET. patchcheck Tools for checking and applying patches to the Python source code and verifying the integrity of patch files. peg_generator PEG-based parser generator (pegen) used for new parser. scripts A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. run_tests.py which runs the Python test suite. ssl Scripts to generate ssl_data.h from OpenSSL sources, and run tests against multiple installations of OpenSSL and LibreSSL. tz A script to dump timezone from /usr/share/zoneinfo. unicode Tools for generating unicodedata and codecs from unicode.org and other mapping files (by Fredrik Lundh, Marc-Andre Lemburg and Martin von Loewis). unittestgui A Tkinter based GUI test runner for unittest, with test discovery. wasm Config and helpers to facilitate cross compilation of CPython to WebAssembly (WASM).
