[New-bugs-announce] [issue31237] test_gdb disables 25% of tests in optimized builds

[Łukasz Langa]

New submission from Łukasz Langa:

We are skipping a lot of tests when optimizations are enabled (which essentially means: compiled without `--with-pydebug`). This seems overly aggressive since most Python users are using the gdb bindings with a non-debug build.

I think we should have tests for py-bt, py-up, printing globals, etc. that run on a non-debug build.
