gc.get_referrers() can be used to see objects before they are fully built.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this is only an example. There are many ways to crash Python
|
||
|
|
by using gc.get_referrers(), as well as many extension modules (even
|
||
|
|
when they are using perfectly documented patterns to build objects).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Identifying and removing all places that expose to the GC a
|
||
|
|
partially-built object is a long-term project. A patch was proposed on
|
||
|
|
SF specifically for this example but I consider fixing just this single
|
||
|
|
example a bit pointless (#1517042).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A fix would include a whole-scale code review, possibly with an API
|
||
|
|
change to decouple object creation and GC registration, and according
|
||
|
|
fixes to the documentation for extension module writers. It's unlikely
|
||
|
|
to happen, though. So this is currently classified as
|
||
|
|
"gc.get_referrers() is dangerous, use only for debugging".
