[Python-Dev] Another test_compiler mystery (original) (raw)

I've noticed several times now, in both debug and release builds, that if I run regrtest.py with -uall, sometimes it just stops after running test_compiler:

$ python_d regrtest.py -uall test_grammar test_opcodes ... test_compare test_compile test_compiler

$

There's no indication of error, it just ends. It's not consistent.

Happened once when I was running with -v, and test_compiler's output ended here:

... compiling C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_operator.py compiling C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_optparse.py compiling C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_os.py compiling C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_ossaudiodev.py compiling C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_parser.py

In particular, there's no

Ran M tests in Ns

output, so it doesn't look like unittest (let alone regrtest) ever got control back.

Hmm. os.listdir() is in sorted order on NTFS, so test_compiler should be chewing over a lot more files after test_parser.py.

This I could blame on a blown C stack -- although I'd expect a much nastier symptom then than just premature termination.

Anyone else?
