[New-bugs-announce] [issue45375] Windows assertion in out-of-tree debug build

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

As seen in the release build for 3.11a1, an assertion is raised when attempting to launch the debug build out of tree.

       _RegenTestFrozenmain:
         Regenerate test_frozenmain.h
         D:\a\1\b\bin\amd64\python_d.exe Programs\freeze_test_frozenmain.py Programs/test_frozenmain.h
         Assertion failed: stdlibdir[wcslen(prefix)] == SEP, file D:\a\1\s\PC\getpathp.c, line 300

This causes the release to fail.
