New submission from Sam Gross <colesb...@gmail.com>:
The issue described issue7105 (and maybe issue7060) still exists due to a race
condition in WeakKeyDictionary. This shows up as test failure that looks like:
test test_weakref failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_weakref.py", line 1960, in
test_threaded_weak_value_dict_deepcopy
self.check_threaded_weak_dict_copy(weakref.WeakValueDictionary, True)
File "Lib/test/test_weakref.py", line 1940, in check_threaded_weak_dict_copy
raise exc[0]
File "Lib/test/test_weakref.py", line 1897, in dict_copy
_ = copy.deepcopy(d)
File "Lib/copy.py", line 153, in deepcopy
y = copier(memo)
File "Lib/weakref.py", line 189, in __deepcopy__
for key, wr in self.data.items():
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
The cause is that the check of "self._iterating" and the call to
"_atomic_removal" are not performed atomically together. By the time
_atomic_removal() is called, an iteration might have already started.
