Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: The buildbots are generally happy with the change. However, on OpenBSD test_itimer_prof fails seemingly unrelated to machine load.
I'm not so familiar with the signal module, but how can the signal handlers in the tests be guaranteed to work? For example, if you set a variable inside a signal handler (self.hndl_called=True), it should be a sig_atomic_t. If you call a function, it should be listed as signal-safe ( http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_04.html ), but setitimer is not. I say this because there might be further assumptions in the tests that could generate hard to track down failures in the future. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8424> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
