Hi,
It seems that cython's static code analysis is failing on the following
code. It thinks that a particular variable (myobject2) must not be
NULL, but in fact it is, so the __Pyx_DECREF_SET segfaults. This came
from third-party code, so I could fix it with an explicit initialization
to None, but I'd love to have Cython deal with it directly. Thanks for
your help!
#<<<BEGIN tmpnone.py>>>
# When compiled with Cython 0.19.2 or 0.20dev, the following code
# segfaults on import
import random
def myfunc():
## uncommenting the following fixes things
#myobject2 = None
myfalse = random.random() > 2
if myfalse:
myobject = None
myobject2 = None
if not myfalse:
# here Cython uses __Pyx_XDECREF_SET
myobject = None
print "Made it past myobject assignment"
if not myfalse or myobject2 is None:
# here Cython uses Pyx_DECREF_SET because it has determined
# that __pyx_v_myobject2 can't be null, but it really, really can!
# (if no one assigned myobject2 yet)
myobject2 = None
print "Made it past myobject2 assignment"
myfunc()
