New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablog...@gmail.com>:
While working on bpo-38379 I had to manually set the GC_DEBUG macro to 1 to activate the extra checks that 'validate_list' does. These checks are super useful to make sure all the gc lists used are consistent and in the expected state with the expected masks. For this reason, I propose to always activate GC_DEBUG for debug builds of the interpreter. It will have a performance impact, but the debugging benefits are substantial. ---------- messages: 354401 nosy: pablogsal, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Set GC_DEBUG for debug builds of the interpreter versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38437> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
