Introduce a configure check for strsignal(3) which defines HAVE_STRSIGNAL for
signalmodule.c. Add some common signals on HP-UX. This change applies for
Windows and HP-UX.
On Windows, sometimes test_signal.test_warn_on_full_buffer() fails to
fill the socketpair buffer. In that case, the C signal handler
succeed to write into the socket, it doesn't log the expected send
error, and so the test fail.
On Windows, the test now uses a timeout of 50 ms to fill the
socketpair buffer to fix this race condition.
Other changes:
* Begin with large chunk size to fill the buffer to speed up the
test.
* Add error messages to assertion errors to more easily identify
which assertion failed.
* Don't set the read end of the socketpair as non-blocking.
test_signal.test_socket(): On Windows, sometimes even if the C signal handler
succeed to write the signal number into the write end of the socketpair, the
test fails with a BlockingIOError on the non-blocking read.recv(1) because the
read end of the socketpair didn't receive the byte yet.
Fix the race condition on Windows by setting the read end as blocking.
* Expose the sigset_t converter via private API _Py_Sigset_Converter().
* Use Argument Clinic for parsing sigset_t in signalmodule.c.
* Raise ValueError instead OverflowError for integers out of
the C long range.
Based on patch by Pablo Galindo Salgado.
* bpo-30796: Fix failures in signal delivery stress test
setitimer() can have a poor minimum resolution on some machines,
this would make the test reach its deadline (and a stray signal
could then kill a subsequent test).
* Make sure to clear the itimer after the test
* Improve signal delivery
Avoid using Py_AddPendingCall from signal handler, to avoid calling signal-unsafe functions.
* Remove unused function
* Improve comments
* Add stress test
* Adapt for --without-threads
* Add second stress test
* Add NEWS blurb
* Address comments @haypo
* Add Lib/test/signalinterproctester.py
* Don't disable the garbage collector anymore
* Don't use os.fork() with a subprocess to not inherit existing signal handlers
or threads: start from a fresh process
* Don't use UNIX kill command to send a signal but Python os.kill()
* Use a timeout of 10 seconds to wait for the signal instead of 1 second
* Always use signal.pause(), instead of time.wait(1), to wait for a signal
* Use context manager on subprocess.Popen
* remove code to retry on EINTR: it's no more needed since the PEP 475
* remove unused function exit_subprocess()
* Cleanup the code
I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux. The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.
when interrupted by a signal not in the *sigset* parameter, if the signal
handler does not raise an exception. signal.sigtimedwait() recomputes the
timeout with a monotonic clock when it is retried.
Remove test_signal.test_sigwaitinfo_interrupted() because sigwaitinfo() doesn't
raise InterruptedError anymore if it is interrupted by a signal not in its
sigset parameter.
retried with the recomputed delay, except if the signal handler raises an
exception (PEP 475).
Modify also test_signal to use a monotonic clock instead of the system clock.
- Use _testcapi.raise_signal() in test_signal
- close also os.pipe() file descriptors in some test_signal tests where they
were not closed properly
- Remove faulthandler._sigill() and faulthandler._sigbus(): reuse
_testcapi.raise_signal() in test_faulthandler
