bpo-43693: Turn localspluskinds into an object#26749

gvanrossum

This makes memory management for code objects cleaner (no more special casing for ownership of the kinds array).

https://bugs.python.org/issue43693

(But still I get a crash in _freeze_importlib)

@ericsnowcurrently I think I have one failing test left, test_ctypes. In particular:

Have you run into this?

ericsnowcurrently

Yeah, you have to update the test to match the new memory size

🤖 New build scheduled with the buildbot fleet by @gvanrossum for commit b09738c 🤖

If you want to schedule another build, you need to add the ":hammer: test-with-buildbots" label again.

gvanrossum

I don't see how these changes could make test_ssl fail (only on Mac), and when I run that test myself it passes. I assume it's flakey.

gvanrossum

Happy buildbots, except refleaks on AMD64 Windows8.1 is still churning.

ericsnowcurrently

mostly LGTM

I've left a few comments for some slight adjustments but otherwise everything looks correct. Thanks for taking the time to do this. FWIW, I now see the value of using PyBytesObject instead of a raw array like I had, so thanks for educating me! 😄

I'm approving the PR now, assuming that you'll make the relevant changes (or ask) before merging.

gvanrossum

While all the tests pass here, when I try them at home, I get a crash in test_descr, both on Mac and Windows. I need to understand better what's going on there. Maybe I just need to merge a later version of main. But I'm out of time for now.

gvanrossum

Oh wait, I get the same crash on main. Something's wrong!

gvanrossum

So, using git bisect I've narrowed it down to GH-26595:

commit e117c0283705943189e6b1aef668a1f68f3f00a4 (HEAD)
Author: Mark Shannon <mark@hotpy.org>
Date:   Thu Jun 10 00:46:01 2021

    [bpo-44337](https://bugs.python.org/issue44337): Port LOAD_ATTR to PEP 659 adaptive interpreter (GH-26595)
    
    * Specialize LOAD_ATTR with  LOAD_ATTR_SLOT and LOAD_ATTR_SPLIT_KEYS
    
    * Move dict-common.h to internal/pycore_dict.h
    
    * Add LOAD_ATTR_WITH_HINT specialized opcode.
    
    * Quicken in function if loopy
    
    * Specialize LOAD_ATTR for module attributes.
    
    * Add specialization stats

I can repro this on my Mac using the following sequence:

$ ./python.exe -m test test_unittest test_doctest test_descr
0:00:00 load avg: 2.28 Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 load avg: 2.28 [1/3] test_unittest
0:00:02 load avg: 2.28 [2/3] test_doctest
0:00:02 load avg: 2.17 [3/3] test_descr

The same three tests also cause a crash on Windows, with roughly the same traceback.

@markshannon Can you repro this on your Linux machine?

markshannon

Repro what?
Your PR is green. The buildbots seem OK.

gvanrossum

@markshannon

Repro what?
Your PR is green. The buildbots seem OK.

I know, but when I try this at home, on both Windows and Mac, I get a crash (details in my previous comment):

$ ./python.exe -m test test_unittest test_doctest test_descr

I've painstakingly bisected this behavior down to your PR GH-26595. If I back up in git to the PR before that, that command passes. Any commit on master after that PR, it also fails (including HEAD).

And this is both on Mac and on Windows, so I can't blame it on environmental issues -- the two environments are just too different.

So I beg you to take this serious. I suspect something odd happens in the LOAD_ATTR cache.

Could it be that the CI tests set PYTHONHASHSEED to a fixed value that happens to avoid the crash?

gvanrossum

@markshannon
To help pin this down further, I bisected at the test level. Here is the minimal file to pass as --matchfile FILE flag to the test runner:

unittest.test.test_discovery.TestDiscovery.test_discovery_failed_discovery
unittest.test.testmock.testpatch.PatchTest.test_patch_wont_create_by_default
test.test_doctest.TestDocTestFinder.test_empty_namespace_package
test.test_doctest.TestDocTestFinder.test_issue35753
test.test_descr.ClassPropertiesAndMethods.test_uninitialized_modules

gvanrossum

There LOAD_ATTR issue is unrelated (discussed offline, we understand it and Mark will fix), so assuming the tests pass after the merge with origin/main I'll land this.
