Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Thank you for your report Chris.
PyObject_REPR() is used only in Python/compile.c just before calling Py_FatalError(). So refcount leaks doesn't matter in these cases. PyObject_REPR() is expanded to deprecated _PyUnicode_AsString which is not defined if Py_LIMITED_API is defined. So it is unlikely that third-party code uses it. We can just remove this macro in 3.5. There are other bugs in formatting fatal error messages where PyObject_REPR() is used. PyBytes_AS_STRING() is called for unicode objects. Definitely this branch of the code is rarely executed. Here is a patch which expands PyObject_REPR() in Python/compile.c and replaces PyBytes_AS_STRING() with PyUnicode_AsUTF8(). In 3.5 we also should remove the PyObject_REPR macro definition. ---------- assignee: -> serhiy.storchaka keywords: +patch nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: -> patch review type: behavior -> resource usage versions: -Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37220/PyObject_REPR.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22453> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
