| This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause the
 | |
| interpreter to segfault.  Ideally this directory should always be empty, but
 | |
| sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause and the bug is deemed
 | |
| too obscure to invest the effort.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Each test should fail when run from the command line:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py
 | |
| 
 | |
| Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine the cause of the
 | |
| failure, as well as a bugs.python.org issue number if it exists.  Particularly
 | |
| note if the cause is system or environment dependent and what the variables are.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate test
 | |
| (even if it was originally from the test suite).  This ensures the regression
 | |
| doesn't happen again.  And if it does, it should be easier to track down.
