Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: DSM (dsm001) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: segfault in readline Initial Comment: It's possible to produce segfaults using two functions from the readline module by giving them negative values (GNU readline 4.3-10), at least in some circumstances. Python 2.5a0 (#10, Dec 15 2004, 19:53:33) [GCC 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline [25290 refs] >>> readline.remove_history_item(-1) Segmentation fault >>> readline.replace_history_item(-1,'abc') Segmentation fault gdb reveals it happens because the (external) remove_history and replace_history_entry don't return NULL in these cases. I'm not sure whether we're responsible for checking the sanity of inputs or the GNU code should be returning NULL and isn't, but at least sometimes it doesn't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: George Yoshida (quiver) Date: 2004-12-18 19:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=671362 FYI, I can reproduce this with : - Python 2.4 & readline 4.3 under SuSE 9.1 - Python 2.5(snapshot as of 2004-12-17) & readline 4.3 under SuSE 9.1 - Python 2.4 & readline 4.3.5(?) under Cygwin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2004-12-17 23:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Hmm. I can't reproduce this (also with readline 4.3). Odd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1086603&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
