Current behavior?
I encountered a crash in TensorFlow when I used API tf.raw_ops.DeleteMultiDeviceIterator. The code is as follows:
import tensorflow as tf
handle = tf.raw_ops.MultiDeviceIterator(
devices=["/device:CPU:0"],
shared_name="test_iterator",
container="",
output_types=[tf.float32],
output_shapes=[tf.TensorShape([None, 10])]
)
deleter = tf.raw_ops.DeleteMultiDeviceIterator(
multi_device_iterator=handle,
iterators=[
tf.raw_ops.MultiDeviceIteratorGetNextFromShard(
multi_device_iterator=handle,
shard_num=0,
incarnation_id=0,
output_types=[tf.float32],
output_shapes=[tf.TensorShape([None, 10])]
)
],
deleter=tf.raw_ops.DeleteMultiDeviceIterator
)
When running the above code, TensorFlow crashes instead of reporting an invalid argument error.
[1] 3755469 segmentation fault (core dumped)
The above code would crash on TensorFlow nightly builds (2.19). The gist can be found here.
Standalone code to reproduce the issue
import tensorflow as tf
handle = tf.raw_ops.MultiDeviceIterator(
devices=["/device:CPU:0"],
shared_name="test_iterator",
container="",
output_types=[tf.float32],
output_shapes=[tf.TensorShape([None, 10])]
)
deleter = tf.raw_ops.DeleteMultiDeviceIterator(
multi_device_iterator=handle,
iterators=[
tf.raw_ops.MultiDeviceIteratorGetNextFromShard(
multi_device_iterator=handle,
shard_num=0,
incarnation_id=0,
output_types=[tf.float32],
output_shapes=[tf.TensorShape([None, 10])]
)
],
deleter=tf.raw_ops.DeleteMultiDeviceIterator
)
Relevant log output
> [1] 3755469 segmentation fault (core dumped)
