git bisect got me here. I'm testing Python 3.12 with pybind11 (master @ https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/tree/d72ffb448c58b4ffb08b5ad629bc788646e2d59e). I double-checked that this is true: The gdb backtrace is below.
Does this ring any bells? Is there something obvious that we need to do differently in pybind11? Steps to reproduce are involved, roughly:
I can send more details or try to reduce as needed. Please let me know. |
|
You are deferencing a NULL pointer, in pybind11 code. Is there some field that is expected to be non-NULL and is now NULL? |
I didn't mean to suggest it's a CPython bug. All we know at the moment is that the pybind11 unit tests do not load anymore after this PR was merged. I didn't want to dive in (possibly spending a significant amount of time) without asking here first, in case it's something obvious to you. I'll look closer to get a better understanding. |
|
Attached is a much smaller reproducer and shorter gdb backtrace, JIC this rings any bells. The crash is in the context of pybind11 multiple inheritance code, which hasn't changed in any significant way for years, although there was some back and forth around the time 3.11 was released. I still have to dig up references.

Found it: https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4142/files (NOT merged) I just applied that change locally, but it doesn't make a difference: still exit 0 with last good, segfault with first bad. If anybody has conclusive advice regarding |

After this PR, yes, for builtin static types. Look at the PR title. |
On one end of the spectrum: Will we be OK with something like my patch under #103912 (comment) (because we don't need the bases of "Builtin Static Types")? On the other end of the spectrum: Will we have to make deeper changes in in the binding tools to handle interpreter-specific fields? |

…tic Builtin Types (gh-105115) In gh-103912 we added tp_bases and tp_mro to each PyInterpreterState.types.builtins entry. However, doing so ignored the fact that both PyTypeObject fields are public API, and not documented as internal (as opposed to tp_subclasses). We address that here by reverting back to shared objects, making them immortal in the process.

gh-105122) When I added the relevant condition to type_ready_set_bases() in gh-103912, I had missed that the function also sets tp_base and ob_type (if necessary). That led to problems for third-party static types. We fix that here, by making those extra operations distinct and by adjusting the condition to be more specific.

This involves moving
tp_dict,tp_bases, andtp_mrotoPyInterpreterState, in the same way we did fortp_subclasses. Those three fields are effectively const for builtin static types (unliketp_subclasses). In theory we only need to make their values immortal, along with their contents. However, that isn't such a simple proposition. (See gh-103823.) In the meantime the simplest solution is to move the fields into the interpreter.One alternative is to statically allocate the values, but that's its own can of worms.
