Tim Peters added the comment: A bit more info: recall that, when deleting a type object (for class B), the previous (list) object's gc_next got overwritten with NULL. The new info: its (the list object's) gc_refs also changed from GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE to GC_UNTRACKED, That the object became untracked is wholly consistent with that its gc_next became NULL but not its gc_prev.
I haven't tracked it down all the way to the offending code, but I wonder whether that's worth the bother. What reason do we have to believe that Py_DECREF(op); CANNOT cause other objects in the `collectable` list to become recognized as trash too? We're in cyclic trash, and one decref can trigger an arbitrary number of other objects to become trash. So I'll attach a patch that doesn't assume the Py_DECREF is harmless, by moving `collectable` objects one at a time to a temporary list, and then - at the end - moves all survivors back to `collectable`. That makes the error go away, but I can't be certain it's address the real problem (since I stopped looking for the code that messed with the list as a side effect of doing a decref on the type object for class B). ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35165/finalize.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21435> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
