(original) (raw)

Hello again.

So, using \_\_lltrace\_\_, I stumbled over a crashbug (to which I have already submitted a fix).i

To trigger the crash, I modified lib/test/test\_trace.py, lines 609 onwards:

��� def test\_16\_no\_jump\_into\_finally\_block(self):

������� globals()\["\_\_lltrace\_\_"\] = 1

������� self.run\_test(no\_jump\_into\_finally\_block)

������� del globals()\["\_\_lltrace\_\_"\]

 

This would crash in all versions I tried.

Now, I wonder, is it worth it adding a regression test for the \_\_lltrace\_\_ functionality?� I realize it is a debug feature, only availible in

debug builds, �for debugging python itself, on the other hand, it had been broken for a long time and no one had noticed, hence perhaps the need for a test?

 

What do you think?
