| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | break cycles, which are a special problem when running generator tests that provoke exceptions by invoking the .next() method of a named generator-iterator: then the iterator is named in globs, and the iterator's frame gets a tracekback object pointing back to globs, and gc doesn't chase these types so the cycle leaks. Also changed _run_examples() to make a copy of globs itself, so its callers (direct and indirect) don't have to (and changed the callers to stop making their own copies); *that* much is a change I've been meaning to make for a long time (it's more robust the new way). Here's a way to provoke the symptom without doctest; it leaks at a prodigious rate; if the last two "source" lines are replaced with g().next() the iterator isn't named and then there's no leak: source = """\ def g(): yield 1/0 k = g() k.next() """ code = compile(source, "<source>", "exec") def f(globs): try: exec code in globs except ZeroDivisionError: pass while 1: f(globals().copy()) After this change, running test_generators in an infinite loop still leaks, but reduced from a flood to a trickle.

* doctest doesn't handle intentional SyntaxError exceptions gracefully,Tim Peters2001-06-241-1/+1

* Changed doctest to run tests in alphabetic order of name.Tim Peters2001-03-211-2/+12
| | | | | | This makes verbose-mode output easier to dig thru, and removes an accidental dependence on the order of dict.items() (made visible by recent changes to dictobject.c).
