pep 0523 renames PyEval_EvalFrameEx to _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault while the gdb python extension only looks for PyEval_EvalFrameEx to understand if it is dealing with a frame.
Final effect is that attaching gdb to a python3.6 process doesnt resolve python objects. Eg. py-list and py-bt dont work properly.
This patch fixes that. Tested locally on python3.6
* 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)
_Py_atomic_* are currently not implemented as atomic operations
when building with MSVC. This patch attempts to implement parts
of the functionality required.
* reap_children() now sets environment_altered to True to detect bugs
using python3 -m test --fail-env-changed
* Replace bare "except:" with "except OSError:" in reap_children()
* Write an unit test for reap_children() using a timeout of 60
seconds
* Add socketserver.ForkingMixIn.server_close()
bpo-31151: socketserver.ForkingMixIn.server_close() now waits until
all child processes completed to prevent leaking zombie processes.
* Fix test on Windows which doesn't have ForkingMixIn
The current test_child_terminated_in_stopped_state() function test
creates a child process which calls ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0) and
then crash (SIGSEGV). The problem is that calling os.waitpid() in the
parent process is not enough to close the process: the child process
remains alive and so the unit test leaks a child process in a
strange state. Closing the child process requires non-trivial code,
maybe platform specific.
Remove the functional test and replaces it with an unit test which
mocks os.waitpid() using a new _testcapi.W_STOPCODE() function to
test the WIFSTOPPED() path.
Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only parameters.
Patch by Louie Lu.
PtyTests.run_child() now calls os.waitpid() to read the exit status
of the child process to avoid creating zombie process and leaking
processes in the background.
This fix a regex issue (a missing non-matching group around an 'or'
list) and the specific possible case where a translation is built but
not yet in known by the picker, but not explicitly listing possible
languages in the regex.
bpo-31072: Add a filter argument to zipapp.create_archive (GH-3021)
* Add an include_file argument to allow callers to decide which files to include
* Document the new argument
bpo-31135: Call the parent destroy() method even if the used
attribute doesn't exist.
The LabeledScale.destroy() method now also explicitly clears label
and scale attributes to help the garbage collector to destroy all
widgets.
