Package: libpython3.4-dev Version: 3.4.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
My answers to the template questions: * What led up to the situation? I'm trying to embed Python into our product written in C and C++. Our build bot rejects the example from python.org because of memory leaks. You can find the example in section 1.1 here: https://docs.python.org/3.4/extending/embedding.html * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I compiled a file called "py_mem_leak.c" as per shell script below. * What was the outcome of this action? When you run the resulting application called "py_mem_leak", the leak sanitizer reports a bunch of memory leaks in libpython3.4m.so.1.0 * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected the program to exit without any issues. -- Shell script to re-create py_mem_leak.c and py_mem_leak: #/usr/bin/env bash set -e set -u cat > py_mem_leak.c <<EOT #include <Python.h> int main() { Py_SetProgramName(L"test"); Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize(); return 0; } EOT /usr/bin/clang-3.6 --version /usr/bin/clang-3.6 \ -Werror \ -Wall \ -Wextra \ -pipe \ -ggdb3 \ -pthread \ -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE \ -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 \ -fstack-protector \ -fPIE \ -fcolor-diagnostics \ -fno-omit-frame-pointer \ '-fsanitize=address' \ -g \ -DNDEBUG \ -ffunction-sections \ -fdata-sections \ -O3 \ -std=gnu99 \ -no-canonical-prefixes \ -Wno-builtin-macro-redefined \ -isystem /usr/include/python3.4m \ '-D__DATE__="redacted"' \ '-D__TIMESTAMP__="redacted"' \ '-D__TIME__="redacted"' \ -MD -MF py_mem_leak.d \ -fPIC \ -c \ -o py_mem_leak.pic.o \ py_mem_leak.c /usr/bin/clang-3.6 \ -o py_mem_leak \ -pthread \ -pipe \ -pie \ -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now \ -no-canonical-prefixes \ '-Wl,--build-id=md5' \ '-Wl,--hash-style=gnu' \ -Wl,--warn-execstack \ -Wl,--detect-odr-violations \ '-fsanitize=address' \ '-fuse-ld=gold' \ -Wl,--gc-sections \ py_mem_leak.pic.o \ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.so \ -lrt -lpthread -lm -lstdc++ -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libpython3.4-dev depends on: ii libexpat1-dev 2.1.0-6+deb8u1 ii libpython3.4 3.4.2-1 ii libpython3.4-stdlib 3.4.2-1 ii multiarch-support 2.19-18+deb8u1 Versions of packages libpython3.4-dev recommends: ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.19-18+deb8u1 libpython3.4-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
