@@ -253,6 +253,12 @@ Inlining does result in a few visible behavior changes:
* Calling :func:`locals` inside a comprehension now includes variables
from outside the comprehension, and no longer includes the synthetic ``.0``
variable for the comprehension "argument".
+* A comprehension iterating directly over ``locals()`` (e.g. ``[k for k in
+ locals()]``) may see "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration"
+ when run under tracing (e.g. code coverage measurement). This is the same
+ behavior already seen in e.g. ``for k in locals():``. To avoid the error, first
+ create a list of keys to iterate over: ``keys = list(locals()); [k for k in
+ keys]``.
