Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: OpenBSD's threads are userland threads, and sigaltstack() doesn't work when the program is built with -pthread: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=114323355014696&w=2
Note that POSIX warns about this: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/sigaltstack.html """" Use of this function by library threads that are not bound to kernel-scheduled entities results in undefined behavior. """ I think we should skip this test on OpenBSD when Python is compiled with threads support. Out of curiosity, could you try this: $ ./python -c "import faulthandler; faulthandler.enable(); faulthandler._stack_overflow()"; echo $? And if you're motivated, you could try it again after having built python with './configure --without-threads'. ---------- components: +Tests nosy: +haypo, neologix stage: -> needs patch type: -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12868> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
