| This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause the |
| interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always be empty, but |
| sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause and the bug is deemed |
| too obscure to invest the effort. |
| |
| Each test should fail when run from the command line: |
| |
| ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py |
| |
| Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine the cause of the |
| failure, as well as a bugs.python.org issue number if it exists. Particularly |
| note if the cause is system or environment dependent and what the variables are. |
| |
| Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate test |
| (even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the regression |
| doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier to track down. |
