test_embed failures after switching configure options due to missing Makefile dependencies #114505
Description
Bug report
Bug description:
test_embed started failing for me recently on free threaded builds on both M1 Mac and Ubuntu (Intel). git bisect narrowed it down to a suspect commit. @colesbury this is probably for you.
Unfortunately, on my Mac I get this commit as the culprit:
% git bisect bad

gh-112984: Fix link error on free-threaded Windows build (GH-114455)
The test_peg_generator test tried to link the python313_d.lib library,
which failed because the library is now named python313t_d.lib. The
underlying problem is that the "compiler" attribute was not set when
we call get_libraries() from distutils.

gh-112529: Track if debug allocator is used as underlying allocator (#113747)
* gh-112529: Track if debug allocator is used as underlying allocator
The GC implementation for free-threaded builds will need to accurately
detect if the debug allocator is used because it affects the offset of
the Python object from the beginning of the memory allocation. The
current implementation of `_PyMem_DebugEnabled` only considers if the
debug allocator is the outer-most allocator; it doesn't handle the case
of "hooks" like tracemalloc being used on top of the debug allocator.
This change enables more accurate detection of the debug allocator by
tracking when debug hooks are enabled.
* Simplify _PyMem_DebugEnabled

(I backed up farther on my Linux box to find a good commit.) 16 January was a long time ago. My inclination is that the later commit is the culprit.
I then tried with the GIL enabled on main. Still an error. Hmmm... I went through the bisect process again on my Mac and landed on this as the putative culprit commit:

gh-111964: Implement stop-the-world pauses (gh-112471)
The `--disable-gil` builds occasionally need to pause all but one thread. Some
examples include:
* Cyclic garbage collection, where this is often called a "stop the world event"
* Before calling `fork()`, to ensure a consistent state for internal data structures
* During interpreter shutdown, to ensure that daemon threads aren't accessing Python objects
This adds the following functions to implement global and per-interpreter pauses:
* `_PyEval_StopTheWorldAll()` and `_PyEval_StartTheWorldAll()` (for the global runtime)
* `_PyEval_StopTheWorld()` and `_PyEval_StartTheWorld()` (per-interpreter)
(The function names may change.)
These functions are no-ops outside of the `--disable-gil` build.

I should add that I originally tried this with a
--disable-gilbuild. I later reproduced it on my Mac with the GIL enabled.colesbury commentedon Jan 23, 2024
Hi Skip - I tried running
test_embedon an M1 Mac (built from d22c066) and haven't seen any errors either with--disable-gilor with the default build.What is the error you are seeing? Have you tried running
make clean?smontanaro commentedon Jan 23, 2024
Hrm... I guess it's a
makedependency problem. After amake cleanI'm not able to reproduce it either. Sorry for the noise.FWIW, here's the error I was seeing:
That
-6 != 0error was seen on both Linux and MacOS.erlend-aasland commentedon Jan 23, 2024
I would recommend
git clean -fdxbetween each build when bisecting; trust only a completely clean build.colesbury commentedon Jan 23, 2024
Yeah, I think we don't have all the proper dependencies in the Makefile for
_testembed.o:cpython/Makefile.pre.in
Lines 1401 to 1402 in afe8f37
We are also missing a bunch of header dependencies in the definition of
PYTHON_HEADERS.smontanaro commentedon Jan 23, 2024
Can you change the title to reflect this deficiency and assign it to me? I'll see if I can improve that aspect of the
makeenvironment.[-]test_embed failing[/-][+]test_embed failures after switching configure options due to missing Makefile dependencies[/+]colesbury commentedon Jan 23, 2024
Thanks Skip - I updated the title. I think you should be able to do that too -- there's an "Edit" button next to the tile and "New Issue" on this page.
erlend-aasland commentedon Jan 23, 2024
That would be a very welcome improvement :)
smontanaro commentedon Jan 23, 2024
I guess the bigger issue was how you assigned it to me. I didn't see an obvious way to assign it to myself.
