Not as nasty as this, though:
dict = {}
# let's force dict to malloc its table for i in range(1,10): dict[i] = i
class Machiavelli: def __repr__(self): dict.clear() print # doesn't crash without this. don't know why return `"machiavelli"` def __hash__(self): return 0
dict[Machiavelli()] = Machiavelli()
print dict
gives, even with my posted patch to dictobject.c
$ ./python crash2.py { Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Any ideas what the above code should do? (Other than use the secret PSU website to hire a hitman and shoot whoever wrote the code, I mean).
Cheers, M.
