Category: None Group: Python 2.2.2 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Eli Rosenberg (elirosenberg) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Core Dumps : Python2.2.2 Initial Comment: Hello, I am able to cause python to core dump on IRIX 6.5.18 and above with the code listed below. I have compiled with 3 versions of gcc as well as MIPSpro. Running this code with a valid host and a port that will cause a connection refused socket error produces a core dump with the the stack trace below. >>> import socket >>> x=socket.socket() >>>

If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case? If the problem is solved, from which version? Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug as "Won't fix". Thank you! .

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2003-04-25 16:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 No. Except for MacOS, there is are no port maintainers. There are experts for some of the Unices, but only for Linux and Solaris. For things as strange as Irix, we have to have actual users of the systems to fully understand the problem and provide patches. In general, we accept work-arounds only if it can be shown that a work-around is necessary around a true platform bug (see how the getaddrinfo emulation is used on OSX, even though the platform provides a native implementation). I'm pretty certain that Python's usage of the getaddrinfo API is correct. If this is still causing crashes, it may be that the implementation in the Irix library is buggy. Have you applied all vendor patches? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eli Rosenberg (elirosenberg) Date: 2003-04-25 15:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764663 Hmm, I don't know for sure, but closing might not be the best idea because anyone else building on a really recent IRIX will have problems with socketmodule. Is there an IRIX maintainer or somebody like that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2003-04-25 15:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 so... do you think the fault is with Python or IRIX? if you're happy enough with the situation as it stands, we may as well close this... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eli Rosenberg (elirosenberg) Date: 2003-04-25 14:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764663 Hi, I think I have fixed things...for now. Here is what I see: IRIX now includes POSIX 1003.1g draft implementations of getaddrinfo/getnameinfo in accordance with http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/01mar/I-D/ipngwg-rfc2553bis-03.txt Previously, netdb.h on IRIX did not have these definitions and Python compiled in its own implementations and things seemed to work. I changed pyconfig.h to have socketmodule use its own implementations, but I did have to make a few changes because the IRIX prototypes for these functions are for the 2001 version of the standards, whereas socketmodule seemed to have 1999 versions from RFC2553. Not knowing much about the Python C API, I did not look closely enough to see why socketmodule seems to cause memory faults when compiled with the IRIX libc versions of these functions. Hopefully this is the source of the problem. -eli ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2003-04-25 07:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 This looks nasty... Could you try making a debug build of Python (pass --with-pydebug to ./configure) and/or try with current CVS? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=727241&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
