New submission from ov2k <ov2k.git...@gmail.com>:
In some of the xx modules, a Py_mod_exec function steals a reference to the module argument when an error occurs (Py_XDECREF(m) after goto fail). It's a bit pernicious given the modules' stated intent to be used as a template, although I'm not sure how often this has actually happened. At the very least, I haven't noticed this outside the xx modules. For Python <= 3.9, this affects xx_exec() in xxmodule.c and xx_modexec() in xxlimited.c. For Python >= 3.10, this affects xx_exec() in xxmodule.c and xx_modexec() in xxlimited_35.c. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 412315 nosy: ov2k priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Py_XDECREF() module on fail in Py_mod_exec type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
