| This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause |
| the interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always |
| be empty. Sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause. |
| |
| Each test should fail when run from the command line: |
| |
| ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py |
| |
| Each test should have a link to the bug report: |
| |
| # http://python.org/sf/BUG# |
| |
| Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine |
| the cause of the failure. 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. |
