描述
Crash report
What happened?
This one is a bit niche! It also needs a python compiled with --with-dtrace
probe.d:
python$target:::import-find-load-start
{
printf("import probe fired\n");
}
test.py:
try:
__import__('\ud800')
except:
pass
> sudo dtrace -q -s probe.d -c './python.exe test.py'
Assertion failed: (!_PyErr_Occurred(tstate)), function _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault, file generated_cases.c.h, line 13858.
import probe fired
import probe fired
import probe fired
...
The import dtrace hooks pass call PyUnicode_AsUTF8 and pass the value to the probe without checking if the conversion succeeded, now dtrace doesn't seem to mind getting a null pointer (I don't know much about how that bit works tbh), but a stale exception is left around which triggers a debug assert:
[!CAUTION]
EDIT: I found some more cases of drace code doing the same, This isn't just limited to import machinery:

If I find more, I'll add them

调研方向
使用 --with-dtrace 构建 Python,并使用 probe.d 和 test.py 示例重现该 assertion。检查 Python/import.c 中的导入钩子,以及 Python/ceval.c 中的附加 DTrace 代码,包括链接的位置。完成标准是:probe 处于活动状态时,lone-surrogate 的导入不再留下陈旧异常,也不再触发调试断言。
