From 64f99350351bc46e016b2286f36ba7cd669b79e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Stinner Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:26:01 +0200 Subject: gh-108342: Break ref cycle in SSLSocket._create() exc (#108344) Explicitly break a reference cycle when SSLSocket._create() raises an exception. Clear the variable storing the exception, since the exception traceback contains the variables and so creates a reference cycle. This test leak was introduced by the test added for the fix of #108310. --- Lib/ssl.py | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Lib/ssl.py b/Lib/ssl.py index ff363c7..c4c5a4c 100644 --- a/Lib/ssl.py +++ b/Lib/ssl.py @@ -1021,7 +1021,11 @@ class SSLSocket(socket): self.close() except OSError: pass - raise notconn_pre_handshake_data_error + try: + raise notconn_pre_handshake_data_error + finally: + # Explicitly break the reference cycle. + notconn_pre_handshake_data_error = None else: connected = True -- cgit v0.12
