The faulthandler module no longer allocates its alternative stack at Python startup. Now the stack is only allocated at the first faulthandler usage. faulthandler no longer ignores memory allocation failure when allocating the stack. sigaltstack() failure now raises an OSError exception, rather than being ignored. The alternative stack is no longer used if sigaction() is not available. In practice, sigaltstack() should only be available when sigaction() is avaialble, so this change should have no effect in practice. faulthandler.dump_traceback_later() internal locks are now only allocated at the first dump_traceback_later() call, rather than always being allocated at Python startup. |
