Neal Norwitz8cc4ef52006-01-10 07:49:41 +00001This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause
2the interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always
3be empty. Sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause.
4
5Each test should fail when run from the command line:
6
7 ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py
8
9Each test should have a link to the bug report:
10
11 # http://python.org/sf/BUG#
12
13Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine
14the cause of the failure. Particularly note if the cause is
15system or environment dependent and what the variables are.

17Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate
18test (even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the
19regression doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier
20to track down.
