[issue23592] SIGSEGV on interpreter shutdown, with daemon threads running wild

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

I believe that this issue cannot occur in Python 3.8 thanks for bpo-36475.

According to the backtrace, a thread does crash in PyEval_EvalFrameEx(). I understand that it's a daemon thread. To execute PyEval_EvalFrameEx(), a daemon thread must hold the GIL. With bpo-36475, a daemon thread now exits immediately instead of taking the GIL.

----------
nosy: +vstinner
resolution:  -> fixed
stage:  -> resolved
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_AcquireThread() do not handle runtime finalization properly.
