New submission from Stefan Ring:
After a fork, the list of thread states contains all the threads from before.
It is especially unfortunate that, at least for me, it usually happens that
threads created in the forked process reuse the same thread ids, and
sys._current_frames will then return wrong stack frames for existing threads
because the old entries occur towards the tail of the linked list and overwrite
the earlier, correct ones, in _PyThread_CurrentFrames.
The attached patch is certainly not the most complete solution, but it solves
my problem.
With Python 2.7.3 I get:
Exception in thread Thread-6:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run
self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
File "test-fork-frames.py", line 24, in do_verify
assert frame_from_sys is real_frame
AssertionError
With my patch applied, it passes silently. I can reproduce this on CentOS 6.3
x86_64 as well as Fedora 18 x86_64.
