Make Memory-Related Tests Less Fragile

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

There are a number of tests that check various aspects of memory management, typically related to some specific module or feature. Nearly every one of these tests is fairly tightly coupled to the fine details of our memory management implementation, usually tied to specific numbers.

This makes the tests fragile, often breaking with even slight changes to some aspect of memory management. [^1]

[^1]: To be fair, we don't make changes to memory management very often; clearly these tests aren't breaking all the time.

For example, in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/121134#issuecomment-2233412265, @Fidget-Spinner says:

It fails

    test.test_gdb.test_pretty_print test_capi test_exceptions
    test_regrtest test_repl test_sys test_tracemalloc

mainly because they count allocations/test out of memory situations, and the hashtable adds random allocations which breaks their careful calculations.

[^2]

[^2]: Note that those aren't necessarily the only tests that need attention here.

Ideally, we would find a way to make such tests less coupled to specific numbers, without sacrificing the accuracy of the behavior checks they are making.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

まず、issue で指定されているメモリ依存のテストを確認します: test_gdb.test_pretty_print、test_capi、test_exceptions、test_regrtest、test_repl、test_sys、test_tracemalloc。どのアロケーションまたはメモリ不足のアサーションが固定値に依存しているかを特定し、その後、それらの正確な数値なしでも動作のチェックを正確に保つ方法を判断します。影響を受けるテストが関連するメモリ管理の変更に耐えながら、引き続きリグレッションを検出できれば完了です。
