[issue3497] a bug in the interpreter?

2008-08-03 Thread vadim suvorov

New submission from vadim suvorov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

The result of the attached script execution is extremely unstable. The
change in the print statement in line 146 from 'print "1"' to 'print 1'
(string literal to numerical) changes the result of execution to the
correct (presumably) one. The results are also affected by commenting
out calls to empty method in lines 143 or 227. The use of dis.dis()
affects results of the execution as well. More than, the location of
error (the triggered assert) shifts in the code, or it is possible that
an Exception is raised.

The script was tested in Python 2.5.2 in Windows XP SP2 and SP3,
2.6beta2 in Windows XP SP3 and in 2.5.2 Ubuntu 8.0.4 with consistent
results. (I mean that behavior of the script is changed by calling of
empty methods or irrelevant print statements. The assert shifts.)

Sorry for the long script. I failed to further reduce its size because
effect disappears.

Expected output:

tested Python 2.4.4 on WinXP SP3. It required minor modifications of the
code (removing conditional expressions), but the effect stayed.

2008-08-03 Thread vadim suvorov

vadim suvorov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Thank you very much, Tim. 

I am still very much confused, how change in print statement changes
order in which items are removed from a set. I presumed it to be
undefined but deterministic (similar to dict()): while I cannot tell
which order it is going to be, I can be sure it does not depend on
changes in other objects. For example, it does not depend on things like
if something is printed, or some dummy method called.

I have little doubts that the script contains (or might contain) bugs. I
am now trying to use 3.0b2, which shows deterministic (in the sense
above) behaviour.

Tim, Martin, thank you very much.

I think now it is not an issue, and the record can be closed.

Thank you very much again, and please accept my apology.

2 Guilherme Polo: I ran it many times. The results in WinXP (with
constant script) are very consistent.

2 Martin v. Löwis: Thank you very much for the excellent explanation. It
was exactly what I needed. I did not realize that hash depends on memory
location.

[issue5634] cPickle error in case of recursion limit

2009-03-31 Thread vadim suvorov

New submission from vadim suvorov :

In case of heavily recursive data structure cPickle produces
intermittent random exceptions (AttributeError, etc.). The expected is
RuntimeError: ('maximum recursion depth exceeded in ...'). In addition,
the behavior differs for classic/new classes.

The reason: the cPickle needs several optional methods (__getstate__,
__getinitargs__) for each object. In their absence an AttributeError is
generated. It is normally suppressed, but suppression itself causes
recursion. The error in exception processing leads to fancy errors.

The proposed solution: temporary (for call of PyErr_ExceptionMatches())
increase recursion limit.
