New submission from Keming <keming...@gmail.com>:
Code to trigger this problem:
```python
import multiprocessing as mp
from time import sleep
def wait_for_event(event):
while not event.is_set():
sleep(0.1)
def trigger_segment_fault():
event = mp.get_context("fork").Event()
p = mp.get_context("spawn").Process(target=wait_for_event, args=(event,))
p.start() # this will show the exitcode=-SIGSEGV
sleep(1)
print(p)
event.set()
p.terminate()
if __name__ == "__main__":
trigger_segment_fault()
```
Accessing this forked event in a spawned process will result in a segment fault.
I have found a related report: https://bugs.python.org/issue43832. But I think
it's not well documented in the Python 3 multiprocessing doc.
Will it be better to explicit indicate that the event is related to the start
method context in the documentation?
