Xavier de Gaye added the comment: The chain of events following a call to set_nomemory_allocator() is deterministic, this is another difference with pyfailmalloc. Also what happens then after this call is not very close to real life as memory is never freed.
Having the possibility to trigger memory exhaustion in N allocations instead of rightaway would be very useful. Maybe this could be done by including pyfailmalloc in _testcapi with some changes to enable multiple behaviors, among which one of them would be deterministic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30695> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
