[New-bugs-announce] [issue43372] ctypes: test_frozentable fails when make regen-frozen

[Miro Hrončok]

New submission from Miro Hrončok <miro at hroncok.cz>:

The following test failure happens on Python 3.10.0a6+ when we make regen-frozen with the same Python version we test:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_frozentable (ctypes.test.test_values.PythonValuesTestCase)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 494 tests in 0.466s

FAILED (failures=1, skipped=87)


Reproducer:

1. Build Python from source: $ ./configure && make -j...
2. Run ctypes tests: $ ./python -m ctypes.test
3. Regenerate frozen: $ PYTHON_FOR_REGEN=./python make regen-frozen
4. Build Python from source again: $ ./configure && make -j...
5. Run ctypes tests: $ ./python -m ctypes.test

Actual result:

Tests in (2) pass, tests in (5) fail.

The difference after (3) is:

diff --git a/Python/frozen_hello.h b/Python/frozen_hello.h

Expected results:

Tests pass, no diff.
