The comment said non-unix threading builds have no stop-the-world. CollectStopTheWorld is gated on `feature = "threading"` alone, and sys._current_frames stops the world on both paths; the field is the fallback a reader uses when there is no `top_iframe` to materialize from. Assisted-by: Claude
`SetFilePointer` answers with the low half of the new position and signals failure with INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER, which is also that half of a position four gigabytes in; telling them apart takes the error code, which this did not read, so such a seek was reported as an error. Deciding seekability from it also called such a file unseekable. `SetFilePointerEx` returns the whole position and a success flag of its own, which also removes the transmute of the position into halves.

Assigning an item reported every packing failure as a TypeError, so
m[0] = 300 on a 'B' view said the value was the wrong type rather than out
of range. Packing now says which of the two it was, and whether the value's
own code raised, in which case that error is the answer as it is:
m[0] = 300 ValueError: invalid value for format 'B'
m[0] = "x" TypeError: invalid type for format 'B'
m[0] = <__index__ that raises> the raised error
`struct` reports both as `struct.error` and is unchanged; the kind travels
beside the exception for the caller that tells them apart.
Also: None was read as a deletion, so m[0] = None answered "cannot delete
memory" instead of packing it; and deleting through the mapping protocol
never reached the read-only check, which comes first.

os.read, _RawIOBase.read, int.to_bytes, struct.pack, ctypes array creation and the _ssl RAND functions sized a Vec from a Python-supplied length with vec![], which calls handle_alloc_error and, under panic = "abort", ends the process. They now allocate through vm.new_zeroed_bytes and raise MemoryError. itertools.product built its pools without checking that len(iterables) * repeat is representable; it now raises OverflowError "repeat argument too large" and reserves the pool and index vectors fallibly. repeat is read as isize, so a negative one raises ValueError "repeat argument cannot be negative" instead of the conversion's message. _ssl.RAND_bytes and RAND_pseudo_bytes read n as i32, matching the int they are declared with.

A collection kept the count it was working with in a table keyed by the object's address, and the objects it had proved reachable in a second one. Between them they were hashed once per candidate and twice per edge in the heap, which is where most of a collection over a live heap went. The count now lives in `PyInner::gc_refs`, with `GcBits::COLLECTING` saying it is meaningful, and reachability is `gc_refs == GC_REACHABLE` rather than membership in a set. Step 5 splits the candidates and clears the bit in one pass. gcbench, five interleaved pairs, median: a live heap of 423k objects goes from 0.101s to 0.055s and a dead one from 0.402s to 0.383s. The bits, generation, owner and count take eight bytes between them. A 64-bit header had those eight as the padding its alignment forces, so it is unchanged at 48 bytes; a 32-bit header grows from 24 to 28. Assisted-by: Claude
A debug build already started Python threads on 8 MiB rather than Rust's 2 MiB default, but an explicit threading.stack_size(N) went through verbatim. test_threading asks for 256 KiB, and starting a thread on that walked off the end of the stack: the guard page fault landed in the prologue of ExecutingFrame::run. Unoptimized, that prologue reserves 80,848 bytes where the optimized one reserves 656 -- execute_instruction is #[inline(always)] and LLVM only colors stack slots from opt-level 1, so the frame is the sum of all 200 instruction arms' temporaries rather than the largest. A Python call costs 88,672 bytes of native stack there, and threading's bootstrap is six frames deep, so 256 KiB holds less than half of what starting a thread takes. The floor reaches thread::Builder only; threading.stack_size() still answers with what was asked for, and release builds are unchanged. Assisted-by: Claude
The C-stack guard ran on one frame entry in eight. That asks the margin to cover eight frames rather than one, and it does not: an unoptimized frame entered through native code takes 88,672 bytes against a debug margin of 262,144. A recursion whose steps re-enter that way -- `__add__` calling itself, a sort key that sorts -- ran off the end of the stack instead of raising RecursionError. On a debug build `class Add: __add__ = lambda s, o: s + o; Add() + 1` segfaulted on the main thread; it now raises, as it does under CPython and in release builds. enter_iframe checked and then called enter_iframe_unchecked, which checked again; it now leaves the check to the one call. Measured on a call-dominated benchmark, five interleaved pairs: instructions retired go up 0.17%, about four per call, which is the stack pointer read and the compare. Assisted-by: Claude
`map_py_iter` read `__length_hint__` only to pass it to `PyIterIter`, and returned an empty vector when the hint was `isize::MAX` or more. Collecting through `PyResult` dropped the iterator's lower bound, so nothing reserved the room the hint asked for. `list()`, `list.extend()` and `list.__iadd__()` now reserve it and report a hint they cannot honour as `MemoryError`; a hint that leaves no room for the elements the list already holds is passed over, as `list_extend()` does. `tuple()` and the other callers keep filling up without reserving. `length_hint_opt` errors other than the `TypeError` it already turns into `None` now reach the caller instead of being dropped. `__iadd__` and `inplace_concat` went through `extract_cloned`, which reads `__len__` and not `__length_hint__`; both call `PyList::extend` now, the way `list_inplace_concat()` calls `list_extend()`. The tuple, list and dict fast paths of `extract_elements_inner` reserve their known length, which the `collect()` they used dropped. Assisted-by: Claude
`map_methods` has no `__length_hint__`, so `operator.length_hint()` on a map answers 0, not the length of what it draws from. The method walked into the length hint of every iterator it holds, and a chain of maps 10000 long overflowed the native stack answering for the outermost one. It also took the longest of its iterators, where a map stops at the shortest. Assisted-by: Claude
`map_py_iter` asked the iterable it was handed, for every caller, and reported what asking raised. Only some callers ask it: `list_extend()` and `_PyBytes_FromIterator()` ask the iterable, `PySequence_Tuple()` asks the iterator, and the bytearray constructor asks nothing. `tuple()`, `min()`, `max()`, `collections.deque()` and `f(*x)` raised for an iterable whose `__len__` or `__length_hint__` does, where they answer. Which object is asked is now the caller's to say. `sorted()` asks the iterable, being `PySequence_List()`. `bytes_from_object()` stood in for `PyBytes_FromObject()`, for `bytearray_extend()` and for the bytearray constructor, which do not agree on this: the first two ask, the last does not. It is split, and assigning to a bytearray slice takes the constructor's side with `PyByteArray_FromObject()`. `list.extend()` counted what it held before the iterable had been asked, where `list_extend()` reads `Py_SIZE(self)` after. A `__length_hint__` that adds to the list made the overflow guard read a count too small and raise `MemoryError` where nothing is wrong; one that empties it made the guard skip a reservation that cannot be served. Assisted-by: Claude
`product_new()` checks `repeat` and works out `npools` before it calls `PySequence_Tuple()` on any argument, and fills the pools `npools` times. The pools were filled by repeating the arguments `repeat` times instead, which walks that many steps even with no arguments to repeat: `product(repeat=2**62)` counted up to it rather than answering `[()]`. The count was also worked out after the arguments had been read, so a repeat too large to serve ran their code first. Assisted-by: Claude
`pack_single()` leaves `'?'` to `PyObject_IsTrue()` and returns what that raised. Packing classified the error instead, so a `ValueError` from a `__bool__` came back as "memoryview: invalid value for format '?'". Assisted-by: Claude
`PyCell::set` dropped what it replaced while still holding the mutex guarding the cell contents. A `__del__` running from that drop and reading the same cell waited on a lock its own caller held, so `del it` on a closure variable whose value has such a `__del__` deadlocked. The replaced value is now released once the guard is gone, as `Py_XSETREF` stores before it decrefs. Assisted-by: Claude
The iterator kept only a reference to the inner hash table, so in `it = iter(A(*args))` the `A()` temporary was the last owner and died as the call returned, before `it` was bound. A `__del__` reading `it` there saw an unbound name and its error was printed and ignored. The iterator now holds the set object, as `si_set` does, and releases it once exhausted. That release happens after the lock is dropped, where `setiter_iternext()` puts its `Py_DECREF(so)` past `Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION()`, so a `__del__` that iterates again does not wait on a lock the call holds. Assisted-by: Claude
`PositionIterInternal::_next` overwrote its `IterStatus::Active` while the caller still held the mutex around it. Dropping the container there ran any `__del__` under that lock, and a `__del__` that iterated the same object again blocked on it. `exhaust()` now hands the container back instead of dropping it, and `locked_step()` releases it after the guard. list, list_reverseiterator, tuple, str, dict and its views and reverse views, bytes, bytearray, memoryview, array, deque, and the enumerate and sequence iterators all go through it.

`map_py_iter` asked the iterator for a length hint on behalf of every caller that does not reserve, and reported what asking raised. Those callers ask nothing at all: `tuple()`, `f(*x)`, `bytearray(x)`, `min()`, `max()` and `collections.deque()` answer for an iterator whose `__length_hint__` raises, where they had been raising it. The answer was also never spent. It reached `PyIterIter` for a `size_hint()` the push loop does not read, so the lookup and any call it made were work thrown away: `tuple()` over a generator drops 22% of its instructions, and 17% over an iterator with a `__length_hint__` written in Python. Assisted-by: Claude
`PyIter::iter` and `PyIter::into_iter` asked for a length hint and reported what asking raised. Nothing spent the answer: it reached `PyIterIter` for a `size_hint()` that every caller either loops past or drops, since collecting into a `Result` reports no lower bound. 23 operations answered for an iterator whose `__length_hint__` raises, where they had been raising it: `set`, `frozenset` and the nine `set` methods that take an iterable, `dict.fromkeys` and the dict view operators, `array` and `array.extend`, `all`, `any`, `sum`, `io.writelines`, `math.fsum`, `math.prod`, and `csv.writerow` and `writerows`. Over a generator, `set()` drops 16% of its instructions and `all()` 23%. `str.join` and `bytes.join` do ask, reaching their elements through `PySequence_Fast()`, which fills a list from the iterator. They take `iter_sized()`, which is now the only way to ask. `iter_without_hint` is gone, its callers being what `iter` already does. Assisted-by: Claude
A generated job name lists every value in the matrix entry, so `cargo check` carried the booleans its dependencies and `skip_ssl` keys expand to, and the snippets job carried its test arguments and timeout. Adding or removing a key renames the check, which drops it from the required list until that list is edited to match. Emptying `env_polluting_tests` renamed three checks this way. `Run rust tests` and `clippy` keep the names they had. `cargo check` drops the booleans from six of its nine, and the snippets job drops its arguments and timeout from all three.

Avoid the second unmanaged allocation.
Line 612 allocates only the padding through vm.new_zeroed_bytes. Lines 620 and 625 then use Vec::append, which can reallocate to byte_len. If that growth allocation fails, it can bypass VM error conversion and abort instead of raising MemoryError.

💡 Result:
In the context of the RustPython project, env_polluting_tests is a configuration key used in GitHub Actions CI workflows to track and manage test suites that modify the shared global environment, such as changing environment variables, system settings, or global state, which can cause subsequent tests to fail [1][2]. The term POLLUTERS refers specifically to these tests that "pollute" the environment [1][2]. The workflow uses this configuration to: 1. Identify Tests: It lists specific test sets in matrix.env_polluting_tests that are known to have side effects [1][2]. 2. Isolate/Skip: The CI environment is configured to skip these tests by default using the RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS environment variable [1][2]. 3. Verify Remediation: The CI includes a specific job designed to check if tests previously marked as polluters have been fixed [1][2]. This job runs the tests multiple times; if a test no longer triggers an "environment changed" exit code (specifically exit code 3 in the CPython test runner context), it provides a message instructing developers to remove that test from the env_polluting_tests list and remove any associated skip decorators that contain the keyword POLLUTERS in the source code [1][2]. Essentially, this mechanism serves as a technical debt management strategy for ensuring that tests are isolated and do not leave the system in a state that impacts the reliability of the overall test suite [1][2].

site:github.com/RustPython/RustPython "test_set" "POLLUTERS"
💡 Result:
In the context of software testing, particularly within projects like RustPython, a test is considered a POLLUTER (or "env polluter") if it modifies the global environment or state in a way that affects the execution or results of subsequent tests [1][2]. When a test pollutes the environment, it may cause later tests to fail, behave unpredictably, or produce "flaky" results, even if those later tests would otherwise pass in isolation. Developers use mechanisms to identify and manage these polluters to ensure the stability and reliability of the test suite [1][2]. Key strategies for managing POLLUTERS include: 1. Identification: Developers explicitly track and categorize tests known to cause environmental side effects [1][2]. 2. Isolation/Skipping: Build configurations, such as CI/CD workflows, are often designed to skip known polluters during standard test runs (e.g., using environment variables like RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS) to prevent them from interfering with other tests [1][2]. 3. Targeted Testing: Once identified, these tests are often run separately or in a controlled environment to verify if the pollution issue has been resolved, allowing them to eventually be removed from the exclusion lists [1][2].

RustPython repository exact identifier "test_set" source code
💡 Result:
In the RustPython repository, test_set refers to the test suite for Python set objects, specifically implemented in the file Lib/test/test_set.py [1][2]. This file contains the standard Python unit tests for the set data type [1][2]. The identifier test_set is commonly referenced in the repository's CI configurations [3][4] and issue trackers [5][6][1][2] as part of the ongoing effort to track and maintain compatibility with the CPython standard library tests. It should not be confused with test_sets, which is a method name found within other test files, such as Lib/test/test_compare.py [7].

💡 Result:
In machine learning, a test set is a subset of a dataset held back from the training process to provide an unbiased evaluation of a final model. Its primary purpose is to assess how well the model generalizes to new, unseen data, rather than just how well it memorized the training examples. While the training set is used to fit the model parameters, the test set is used only after training is complete to report final performance metrics. A validation set is typically used during the development phase to tune hyperparameters and perform model selection, ensuring the final model is ready for the unseen data in the test set. By separating these datasets, researchers can identify if a model is suffering from overfitting, where it performs well on known data but fails to perform accurately on new inputs.

💡 Result:
In the context of the RustPython project, env_polluting_tests is a configuration key used within GitHub Actions CI workflows to identify and track specific test suites that modify the global environment (e.g., changing environment variables, file system state, or system settings) in a way that affects other tests [1][2]. These tests are identified and listed in the CI matrix to manage how they are executed [1]. Because they pollute the environment, they can cause side effects that lead to flaky or incorrect results in subsequent tests. The CI workflow includes a dedicated step that runs these identified tests specifically to check if they have stopped polluting the environment [1][2]. By monitoring these tests, the developers can: 1. Identify when a test is no longer causing environmental pollution [1][2]. 2. Enforce better test isolation by encouraging the removal of these tests from the list once they are fixed [1][2]. 3. Apply specific skip decorators or test flags (such as --fail-env-changed) to control their execution safely during the CI process [1][2]. Essentially, it acts as a tracking mechanism to isolate "bad actor" tests that violate test independence, allowing the project to eventually clean them up and improve overall test suite reliability [1][2].

"test_set" "env_polluting_tests" RustPython ci.yaml
💡 Result:
In the RustPython project's CI configuration (located in.github/workflows/ci.yaml), env_polluting_tests is a matrix variable used to identify and manage test suites that modify the shared testing environment in a way that affects subsequent tests [1]. Tests listed under this variable are executed in a specific, repetitive manner within the CI pipeline to ensure they do not cause persistent side effects [1]. The CI process runs these tests multiple times (up to 10 attempts by default) while monitoring for specific exit codes [1]. If a test is detected to be polluting the environment, the CI pipeline flags it, and developers are instructed to investigate the specific test item responsible, often by marking it with skip decorators or resolving the underlying incompatibility [1]. Once a test is confirmed to no longer pollute the environment, it should be removed from the env_polluting_tests list in the ci.yaml file [1].

"test_set.py" "POLLUTERS" RustPython
💡 Result:
In the context of the RustPython project, "POLLUTERS" refers to a specific categorization of tests—often those that are unstable, have side effects, or negatively impact the reliability of the test suite [1][2][3]. The project's automation workflows contain instructions to identify and remove skip decorators that include the word "POLLUTERS" from test files [2][3]. This suggests that "POLLUTERS" is a label used within the codebase to mark tests that are being skipped or temporarily disabled due to their disruptive nature [2][3]. Regarding test_set.py, it is a standard Python library test file used to verify set functionality [4][5][6]. While test_set.py is frequently updated as part of the project's ongoing efforts to synchronize with newer CPython versions [5][6], the term "POLLUTERS" is a broader management mechanism for test reliability in the RustPython repository, rather than a specific feature of the set implementation itself [2][3].

"RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS" "test_set"
💡 Result:
RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS is an environment variable used in the RustPython project's CI/CD pipeline (specifically in GitHub Actions) to control the execution of tests that modify or "pollute" the global environment [1][2][3]. When this variable is set to true (e.g., env: RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS: true), it instructs the test runner to skip specific tests known to alter system state in a way that could affect subsequent tests [1][2]. Key points regarding its use: 1. CI Configuration: It is primarily used in workflow files (such as.github/workflows/ci.yaml) to ensure that stability-sensitive tests do not interfere with the reliability of the test suite [1][2]. 2. Test Stability: RustPython maintains lists of "polluting" tests [1]. These tests are often run separately or with specific configurations to monitor if they continue to pollute the environment, with the goal of eventually removing them from the exclusion lists once the underlying issues are resolved [1][2]. 3. Mechanism: The variable functions as a conditional flag within the test execution logic to prevent certain test items from running during standard CI passes [1][2]. There is no standard "test_set" command associated with this variable; rather, "test_set" likely refers to the suite or collection of tests that are being skipped or managed based on this environment variable's state [1][2].

RustPython "Lib/test/test_set.py" environment polluter
💡 Result:
In the RustPython codebase, the mention of "environment polluter" in Lib/test/test_set.py refers to tests that alter the global environment (such as environment variables or system state) and therefore may cause side effects in other tests [1]. To handle this, RustPython uses a specific environment variable mechanism, RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS, to allow developers to skip tests that are known to pollute the environment [1]. Specifically, in Lib/test/test_set.py, the test method test_free_after_iterating is decorated with a check for this variable: @unittest.skipIf("RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS" in import("os").environ, "TODO: RUSTPYTHON") def test_free_after_iterating(self): support.check_free_after_iterating(self, iter, self.thetype) This approach is part of RustPython's broader effort to integrate and run CPython's standard library test suite, where tests are often selectively skipped or marked as expected failures ("xfail") if they do not yet pass or if they interact poorly with the RustPython environment [2][3]. Developers typically use this pattern to maintain test suite stability while incrementally improving compatibility with CPython [2][4].

In the RustPython CI configuration (specifically in.github/workflows/ci.yaml), env_polluting_tests is a list used to identify and isolate tests that modify the global environment in ways that interfere with subsequent tests [1][2]. The primary purpose of this mechanism is to detect and address tests that fail to clean up after themselves [2]. The CI workflow includes a specific job that explicitly checks if these tests are still "polluting" the environment [2]. This process involves: 1. Running the identified tests in a loop (up to 10 attempts) [1][2]. 2. Using the --fail-env-changed flag with the test runner to detect if the environment has been altered [1][2]. 3. Reporting success if a test stops polluting, prompting developers to remove the test from the env_polluting_tests list and remove associated skip decorators in the test code [1][2]. This helps maintain the integrity of the test suite by ensuring that tests are properly isolated and that environment-altering tests are identified, fixed, or explicitly managed [2].

💡 Result:
The code snippet test_free_after_iterating associated with RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS is part of the test suite in the RustPython project [1]. In RustPython's test implementation, test_free_after_iterating is a test method used to verify that objects can be properly freed after being iterated over [1]. Specifically, it invokes support.check_free_after_iterating(self, iter, self.thetype), which likely performs a check to ensure that memory or resources are correctly released [1]. The RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS check is an environment variable-based mechanism used to conditionally skip this test [1]. It is used as a decorator in the Python test files: @unittest.skipIf("RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS" in import("os").environ, "TODO: RUSTPYTHON") def test_free_after_iterating(self):... This allows developers to disable specific tests that may rely on environmental behavior, interact poorly with the test runner environment, or represent features not yet fully implemented or stabilized in RustPython [1]. The "TODO: RUSTPYTHON" comment indicates that this is a placeholder or work-in-progress area for the interpreter's compatibility with CPython's test suite [1].

"remove any associated skip decorators" "env_polluting_tests" RustPython
💡 Result:
In the RustPython project, when a test is identified as an "env polluter"—meaning it fails to clean up after itself and causes failures in subsequent tests when run with the --fail-env-changed flag—it is typically listed in the env_polluting_tests matrix within the CI configuration file, .github/workflows/ci.yaml [1][2][3][4]. If you have confirmed that a test is no longer polluting the environment, you should perform the following two steps to clean up: 1. Remove the test name from the env_polluting_tests list (or the corresponding ENV_POLLUTING_TESTS_... environment variable) in .github/workflows/ci.yaml [1][2][5][3]. 2. Remove the associated skip decorator from the test file itself [1][2][6][3]. Specifically, search for and remove any @unittest.skipIf or related decorators that reference RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS [6]. These skip decorators are typically added specifically to prevent the test from running during the environment-pollution check phase [1][4]. Once the test has been verified as stable, keeping these decorators prevents proper test execution and maintenance [1][2]. Always ensure your modifications adhere to the project's strict test modification rules, which generally forbid changing test logic or assertions, only allowing the removal of outdated TODO comments and skip/expectedFailure decorators [7][8].

"RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS" "POLLUTERS" "test_free_after_iterating"
💡 Result:
The terms RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS and POLLUTERS in the context of test_free_after_iterating refer to a mechanism in the RustPython project for managing and identifying tests that cause environment pollution during CI execution [1][2]. In RustPython's CI workflow, RUSTPYTHON_SKIP_ENV_POLLUTERS is an environment variable set to true to skip specific tests known to modify the global environment (e.g., leaking temporary files or causing state changes that affect subsequent tests) [1][2]. Tests identified as "polluters" are often decorated with specific skip decorators containing the word "POLLUTERS" [1][3]. The specific test test_free_after_iterating is a standard Python test (from test.support) used to verify that objects are correctly deallocated after iteration [4][5]. In RustPython, this test may be skipped or decorated because it can trigger environment-related side effects or failures in their CPython compatibility suite [6][1]. The RustPython CI pipeline includes a dedicated check that runs these "polluting" tests separately in a loop to detect if they have stopped polluting the environment; if a test passes reliably without pollution, developers are instructed to remove the skip decorator and the test's status as a "polluter" [1][2].

`PositionIterInternal::_next` exhausted the iterator for any non-`Return` result, so an error from `__getitem__` ended the walk. `iter_iternext()` lets go of its sequence for `IndexError` and `StopIteration` alone, and `PyIterReturn::from_getitem_result` has already turned the first of those into the second, so only `StopIteration` exhausts now. Both deque iterators keep exhausting on their own mutation guard, which `deque_iternext()` does by zeroing the counter before it raises; they share one step function for it, and the message it raises is lowercased to match the three other sites in the module.

An object with no iteration protocol reached `PyObject_GetIter`'s "not
iterable" message, and `bytearray.extend()` reported bytes. Each entry
point now checks for the protocol first and names itself:
bytes(object()) cannot convert 'object' object to bytes
bytearray(object()) cannot convert 'object' object to bytearray
bytearray().extend(object()) can't extend bytearray with object

`start_gc_refs` clipped a count at `GC_REACHABLE - 1`, a number the per-reference subtraction could still walk down to zero and collect a live object. It now stores `GC_REACHABLE`, and `subtract_gc_ref` leaves that value alone. Assisted-by: Claude
`assert False` is removed under `-O`, which the snippet suite may run. Assisted-by: Claude
A deque, set or dict iterator raised once and then read as spent. The guard is sticky: `deque_iternext()` looks at the deque's state before the count it keeps, and `dictiter_iternextkey()` and `setiter_iternext()` write a size no collection can have, so every later call finds the same thing and raises again. `dequereviter_next()` is the one exception, looking at its count first, so it runs out after the first raise. Both deque iterators now carry `dequeiterobject.counter` rather than reading a length back from the deque, and the dict and set iterators compare the size they captured against the collection's own every time they are asked how much is left, which is what makes that answer nothing from the moment the collection changes rather than only once the iterator has raised. The set's message is capitalized to match `setiter_iternext()`. Measured against 3.14.6, for each of deque, reversed deque, set, dict and a reversed dict view: the hint after the change, the error, the hint after the error, and what a later call answers.

The step waits on `apt-get update`, which has no deadline of its own, so a source that takes the connection and then stops answering holds the job until the workflow's own timeout. The retry that disables the Microsoft and azure-cli sources runs only when the update exits non-zero, which a held connection never does; three jobs on this branch sat on this step for 20 minutes to five and a half hours. Each attempt is now bounded, and the transports are given a timeout, so a source that stops answering reaches the retry. Assisted-by: Claude

GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest ubuntu-slim hosted runner images GNU coreutils timeout command --kill-after official documentation
💡 Result:
The GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest hosted runner images (currently based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) include the standard GNU coreutils package, which provides the timeout command [1][2][3]. This command supports the --kill-after option [4][5]. The --kill-after=DURATION option is a feature of the GNU coreutils timeout utility that ensures the monitored command is forcefully killed by sending a SIGKILL signal if it is still running after the specified duration has elapsed following the initial signal [5]. Key details regarding this command in the GitHub Actions environment include: - Availability: The timeout command is part of the coreutils package pre-installed on all official Ubuntu-based GitHub Actions runners [6][7]. - Version: As of August 2026, these runners use recent versions of Ubuntu (e.g., 24.04 LTS), which include modern versions of GNU coreutils (e.g., 9.x) that fully support the --kill-after flag [6][8][5]. - Official Documentation: The behavior of this command, including the --kill-after option, is documented in the official GNU Coreutils manual [5]. Usage Example: To run a command that is terminated by a SIGTERM after 5 seconds and subsequently killed by a SIGKILL if it is still running 3 seconds later, use: timeout -s TERM -k 3s 5s [5]

Sorry, something went wrong.
Changes from the current fuzzing and static-review sweep, plus what a round of
review turned up on top of them. Each one is a separate commit with its own
reasoning; the branch is rebased onto main, and everything the last sweep
already landed has been dropped from it.
Crashes that are now exceptions
(0).to_bytes(2**60, 'big'), os.read(fd, 2**60) and
(ctypes.c_char * 2**60)() all reached handle_alloc_error, which under
panic = "abort" ends the process. They raise MemoryError now, as they do
in the reference. itertools.product(..., repeat=2**60) and
_ssl.RAND_bytes(2**40) raise OverflowError; product_new gained the
negative and too-large checks it has upstream, and RAND_bytes takes the C
int its signature says it does.
entry, and the margin does not cover eight frames of a recursion that
re-enters through native code. A class Add: __add__ = lambda self, o: self + o
chain segfaulted on the main thread of a debug build, and a self-sorting
key= died on SIGILL. The check runs on every entry now; the cost is
+0.17% instructions retired on a call-heavy benchmark (~4 instructions per
call).
operator.length_hint() on a map answers 0. Ours walked into the length hint
of every iterator it held, and a chain of maps 10000 long overflowed the
native stack answering for the outermost one. It also took the longest of its
iterators, where a map stops at the shortest.
thread aborted. ExecutingFrame::run reserves 80,848 bytes in a debug build
against 656 in release — execute_instruction is #[inline(always)] with 200
instruction arms, and LLVM's StackColoring pass only runs at opt-level >= 1 —
so one Python call costs 88,672 bytes and the threading bootstrap's six frames
need 532,032. An explicit size is a floor rather than the size in debug builds
now; release honours it exactly and threading.stack_size() still reports
what was asked for.
Length hints
map_py_iter read __length_hint__ only to hand it to PyIterIter, and
returned an empty vector outright when the hint was isize::MAX or more — so
list(x) where x.__length_hint__() is sys.maxsize answered []. Collecting
through PyResult drops the iterator's lower bound, so nothing reserved the room
the hint asked for either.
list(), list.extend() and list.__iadd__() reserve it now and report a hint
they cannot honour as MemoryError; a hint that leaves no room for what the list
already holds is passed over, as list_extend() does. tuple() keeps filling up
without reserving, which is also what the reference does. Errors from
length_hint_opt other than the TypeError it already turns into None reach
the caller.
__iadd__ and inplace_concat went through extract_cloned, which reads
__len__ and not __length_hint__; both call PyList::extend now, the way
list_inplace_concat() calls list_extend(). The tuple, list and dict fast
paths of extract_elements_inner reserve their known length, which the
collect() they used dropped: list.extend() is 9.9% fewer instructions and a
list-construction benchmark 1.9% fewer.
Who is asked for a length hint
map_py_iter asked the iterable it was handed, for every caller. Only some
callers ask it: list_extend() and _PyBytes_FromIterator() ask the iterable,
PySequence_Tuple() asks the iterator, and the bytearray constructor asks
nothing. Which object is asked is the caller's to say now, so tuple(),
min(), max(), collections.deque() and f(*x) answer for an iterable whose
__len__ raises, where they used to report it; sorted() asks the iterable,
being PySequence_List().
bytes_from_object() stood in for PyBytes_FromObject(), for
bytearray_extend() and for the bytearray constructor, which do not agree on
this — the first two ask, the last does not. It is split, and assigning to a
bytearray slice takes the constructor's side with PyByteArray_FromObject().
list.extend() counted what it held before the iterable had been asked, where
list_extend() reads Py_SIZE(self) after. A __length_hint__ that adds to
the list made the guard read a count too small and raise MemoryError where
nothing is wrong; one that empties it made the guard skip a reservation that
cannot be served.
Two more that turned up alongside, neither of them new:
argument, and fills the pools npools times. Ours filled them by repeating
the arguments repeat times, which walks that many steps even with no
arguments to repeat — product(repeat=2**62) counted up to it rather than
answering [()] — and worked the count out after reading the arguments, so a
repeat too large to serve ran their code first.
raised. Packing classified the error instead, so a ValueError from a
__bool__ came back as memoryview: invalid value for format '?'.
Collector
The collection kept its candidates and their working counts in a side table
keyed by address. Both now live in the object header, in a gc_refs field that
fits in the padding a 64-bit header already had — the header is unchanged at 48
bytes there, and 28 rather than 24 bytes on 32-bit, which the wasm32 build
covers. On a GC benchmark the median live-object collection went from 0.101s to
0.055s and the dead-object one from 0.402s to 0.383s.
Smaller fixes
that does not fit; it is a ValueError, and struct's checks and messages
are matched alongside it.
a number the per-reference subtraction could still walk down to zero and
collect a live object. Such a count stands for more references than every
subtraction together could take off, so it is taken as reachable outright.
INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER could not be told from a valid position with the
same low word.
Deadlocks and a lifetime, found while confirming the two pre-existing failures
A Python object released while a lock over it is still held runs __del__ under
that lock, and a __del__ that reaches back for the same object waits on its
own caller. Three places did that:
contents, so del it on a closure variable whose value has a __del__
reading it hung. Py_XSETREF stores before it decrefs; this now does too.
caller held the mutex around it. exhaust() hands the container back instead,
and locked_step() releases it past the guard, as setiter_iternext() puts
its Py_DECREF(so) past Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION(). list,
list_reverseiterator, tuple, str, dict with its views and reverse views,
bytes, bytearray, memoryview, array, deque, and the enumerate and sequence
iterators all go through it.
it = iter(A(*args)) the A() temporary was the last owner and died as the
call returned, before it was bound, so a __del__ reading it found an
unbound name and its error was printed and ignored. The iterator now holds the
set object, as si_set does.
test_free_after_iterating was skipped as hanging in seq_tests, test_array,
test_bytes, test_dict, test_iter and test_str, and skipped in test_set
for polluting the environment. All seven now run.
What an iterator does after it raises
Two questions the deadlock work above put in reach, both measured against 3.14.6
rather than read off the source.
An error from an element is the element's, not the end of the walk.
PositionIterInternal::_next emptied the iterator for any result that was not a
value, so a __getitem__ raising ValueError ended the sequence and the next
call answered StopIteration. iter_iternext() lets go of its sequence for
IndexError and StopIteration alone, and from_getitem_result has already
turned the first of those into the second, so only StopIteration empties it
now and the next call reaches for the same element again.
A collection that moved under its iterator keeps raising, where ours raised once
and then read as spent. The guard is sticky: deque_iternext() looks at the
deque's state before the count it keeps, and dictiter_iternextkey() and
setiter_iternext() write a size no collection can have, so every later call
finds the same thing. dequereviter_next() is the one exception, looking at its
count first, so it runs out after the first raise. Both deque iterators carry
dequeiterobject.counter now rather than reading a length back from the deque,
and the dict and set iterators compare the size they captured against the
collection's own every time they are asked how much is left — which is what
makes that answer nothing from the moment the collection changes, rather than
only once the iterator has raised. The set's message is capitalized to match
setiter_iternext().
For each of deque, reversed deque, set, dict and a reversed dict view: the hint
after the change, the error, the hint after the error, and what a later call
answers, all match.
What could not be turned into bytes
An object with no iteration protocol reached PyObject_GetIter()'s "not
iterable" message, and bytearray.extend() reported bytes. Each entry point
checks for the protocol first and names what it was being asked to do:
Left alone
Two divergences found along the way want a restructure larger than this branch
should carry, and neither is a crash:
pack_single() casts and stores inf. _struct packs the same format
through PyFloat_Pack4(), which does raise, and one Packable implementation
serves both here.
PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n) leaves the buffer uninitialised, and a
page-lazy malloc serves what a calloc will not. Matching it needs a
fallible uninitialised buffer, which cannot be spelled soundly on stable Rust.
This branch already moves that call from aborting the process to raising.
CI
Two of the workflow's own problems surfaced while getting this branch green, and
are fixed here rather than left for the next branch to hit:
in its entry, so emptying env_polluting_tests renamed three required checks
and dropped them from the required list. All four matrix jobs name themselves
now. The required-check names on main need updating to match once this
lands.
deadline of its own, and its retry runs only when the update exits non-zero —
which a source that takes the connection and then stops answering never does.
Three jobs on this branch sat on that step for twenty minutes to five and a
half hours. Each attempt is bounded now, so a source that stops answering
reaches the retry.
Verification
The one remaining failure is test.test_future_stmt.test_future, which
predates this branch: barry_as_FLUFL needs <> lexing in the parser, and
the parser is pinned to a tag of the RustPython/ruff fork, so it cannot land
from this repository alone. test_pyrepl is excluded for taking 24 minutes to
reach its existing 48 failures.
ruff clean, and the wasm32 build passes.
Two divergences met along the way are older than this branch and are left alone:
operator.length_hint(obj, -1) refuses a negative default, which the signature
takes as usize; and bool() on a class whose __bool__ is None reports
'NoneType' object is not callable rather than naming the class.
