[New-bugs-announce] [issue13628] python-gdb.py: patch to improve support of optimized Python

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

If Python is compiled with gcc -O3, gdb is unable to get the f argument of PyEval_EvalFrameEx(). It is possible to retrieve "f" from the caller, PyEval_EvalCodeEx().

Attached patch tries to implement this idea and enable more test_gdb tests on optimized Python.

The patch has a problem because some tests fails if Python is not optimized (Python compiled in debug mode).

--

The patch fix other minor bugs in libpython.py related to optimized Python.
