gh-109972: Enhance test_gdb #110026

vstinner · 2023-09-28T14:05:26Z

Split PyBtTests.test_pycfunction() into 2 files, test_cfunction and test_cfunction_full, and 6 functions:
- test_pycfunction_noargs()
- test_pycfunction_o()
- test_pycfunction_varargs()
- test_pycfunction_varargs_keywords()
- test_pycfunction_fastcall()
- test_pycfunction_fastcall_keywords()
In verbose mode, these "pycfunction" tests now log each tested call.
Move get_gdb_repr() to PrettyPrintTests.
Replace DebuggerTests.get_sample_script() with SAMPLE_SCRIPT.
Rename checkout_hook_path to CHECKOUT_HOOK_PATH.
Rename gdb_version to GDB_VERSION_TEXT.
Replace (gdb_major_version, gdb_minor_version) with GDB_VERSION.
run_gdb() uses "backslashreplace" error handler.
Add check_gdb() function to util.py.
Enhance support.check_cflags_pgo(): check also for sysconfig PGO_PROF_USE_FLAG (if available) in compiler flags.

Issue: test_gdb failed with 15 min timeout on PPC64LE RHEL8 3.x (LTO + pydebug) #109972

@encukou: test_cfunction contains the following commented code:

            # XXX: bound methods don't yet give nice tracebacks
            # '_testcapi.MethInstance()',

Should we try to reenable it, or remove the test?

* Split PyBtTests.test_pycfunction() into 2 files, test_cfunction and test_cfunction_full, and 6 functions: * test_pycfunction_noargs() * test_pycfunction_o() * test_pycfunction_varargs() * test_pycfunction_varargs_keywords() * test_pycfunction_fastcall() * test_pycfunction_fastcall_keywords() * In verbose mode, these "pycfunction" tests now log each tested call. * Move get_gdb_repr() to PrettyPrintTests. * Replace DebuggerTests.get_sample_script() with SAMPLE_SCRIPT. * Rename checkout_hook_path to CHECKOUT_HOOK_PATH. * Rename gdb_version to GDB_VERSION_TEXT. * Replace (gdb_major_version, gdb_minor_version) with GDB_VERSION. * run_gdb() uses "backslashreplace" error handler. * Add check_gdb() function to util.py. * Enhance support.check_cflags_pgo(): check also for sysconfig PGO_PROF_USE_FLAG (if available) in compiler flags. * Move some SkipTest checks to test_gdb/__init__.py. * Elaborate why gdb cannot be tested on Windows: gdb doesn't support PDB debug symbol files.

macOS failed with: FAIL: test_interprocess_signal (test.test_signal.PosixTests.test_interprocess_signal)

I created issue gh-110033 for this test failure.

Windows x86 failed with: ERROR: tearDownClass (test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.test_manager.WithManagerTestPool)

I created issue gh-110036 for this test failure.

* Split test_pycfunction.py: add test_cfunction_full.py. Split the function into the following 6 functions. In verbose mode, these "pycfunction" tests now log each tested call. * test_pycfunction_noargs() * test_pycfunction_o() * test_pycfunction_varargs() * test_pycfunction_varargs_keywords() * test_pycfunction_fastcall() * test_pycfunction_fastcall_keywords() * Move get_gdb_repr() to PrettyPrintTests. * Replace DebuggerTests.get_sample_script() with SAMPLE_SCRIPT. * Rename checkout_hook_path to CHECKOUT_HOOK_PATH. * Rename gdb_version to GDB_VERSION_TEXT. * Replace (gdb_major_version, gdb_minor_version) with GDB_VERSION. * run_gdb() uses "backslashreplace" error handler instead of "replace". * Add check_gdb() function to util.py. * Enhance support.check_cflags_pgo(): check also for sysconfig PGO_PROF_USE_FLAG (if available) in compiler flags. * Move some SkipTest checks to test_gdb/__init__.py. * Elaborate why gdb cannot be tested on Windows: gdb doesn't support PDB debug symbol files.

Well, try to reenable would be better?
I don't know much about gdb tests though, to be honest...

Right now, I'm still trying to fix test_gdb existing tests :-( #110166
