|
|
A helper for analyzing PYTHONDUMPREFS output. |
|
|
|
When the PYTHONDUMPREFS envar is set in a debug build, at Python shutdown |
|
time Py_FinalizeEx() prints the list of all live objects twice: first it |
|
prints the repr() of each object while the interpreter is still fully intact. |
|
After cleaning up everything it can, it prints all remaining live objects |
|
again, but the second time just prints their addresses, refcounts, and type |
|
names (because the interpreter has been torn down, calling repr methods at |
|
this point can get into infinite loops or blow up). |
|
|
|
Save all this output into a file, then run this script passing the path to |
|
that file. The script finds both output chunks, combines them, then prints |
|
a line of output for each object still alive at the end: |
|
|
|
address refcnt typename repr |
|
|
|
address is the address of the object, in whatever format the platform C |
|
produces for a %p format code. |
|
|
|
refcnt is of the form |
|
|
|
"[" ref "]" |
|
|
|
when the object's refcount is the same in both PYTHONDUMPREFS output blocks, |
|
or |
|
|
|
"[" ref_before "->" ref_after "]" |
|
|
|
if the refcount changed. |
|
|
|
typename is Py_TYPE(object)->tp_name, extracted from the second PYTHONDUMPREFS |
|
output block. |
|
|
|
repr is repr(object), extracted from the first PYTHONDUMPREFS output block. |
|
CAUTION: If object is a container type, it may not actually contain all the |
|
objects shown in the repr: the repr was captured from the first output block, |
|
and some of the containees may have been released since then. For example, |
|
it's common for the line showing the dict of interned strings to display |
|
strings that no longer exist at the end of Py_FinalizeEx; this can be recognized |
|
(albeit painfully) because such containees don't have a line of their own. |
|
|
|
The objects are listed in allocation order, with most-recently allocated |
|
printed first, and the first object allocated printed last. |
|
|
|
|
|
Simple examples: |
|
|
|
00857060 [14] str '__len__' |
|
|
|
The str object '__len__' is alive at shutdown time, and both PYTHONDUMPREFS |
|
output blocks said there were 14 references to it. This is probably due to |
|
C modules that intern the string "__len__" and keep a reference to it in a |
|
file static. |
|
|
|
00857038 [46->5] tuple () |
|
|
|
46-5 = 41 references to the empty tuple were removed by the cleanup actions |
|
between the times PYTHONDUMPREFS produced output. |
|
|
|
00858028 [1025->1456] str '<dummy key>' |
|
|
|
The string '<dummy key>', which is used in dictobject.c to overwrite a real |
|
key that gets deleted, grew several hundred references during cleanup. It |
|
suggests that stuff did get removed from dicts by cleanup, but that the dicts |
|
themselves are staying alive for some reason. """ |
