From f2ef51f8bec525b21e52988880c8a029642795ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Galindo Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 23:04:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-34007: Skip traceback tests if the Program Counter is not available. (GH-9018) Sometimes some versions of the shared libraries that are part of the traceback are compiled in optimised mode and the Program Counter (PC) is not present, not allowing gdb to walk the frames back. When this happens, the Python bindings of gdb raise an exception, making the test impossible to succeed. --- Lib/test/test_gdb.py | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/Lib/test/test_gdb.py b/Lib/test/test_gdb.py index 9e0eaea8c8f..c2ca57a4a04 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_gdb.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_gdb.py @@ -206,6 +206,15 @@ class DebuggerTests(unittest.TestCase): for line in errlines: if not line: continue + # bpo34007: Sometimes some versions of the shared libraries that + # are part of the traceback are compiled in optimised mode and the + # Program Counter (PC) is not present, not allowing gdb to walk the + # frames back.
