David Li commented on ARROW-16013:
----------------------------------
I'm curious how you got ubsan (and presumably/possibly asan?) to work with a
Python build, IIRC, last time I tried, you also needed Python built with
ubsan/asan
> [C++][Python] Signed overflow when using negative stride in
> NumPyStridedConverter
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-16013
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16013
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, Python
> Reporter: Tobias Zagorni
> Assignee: Tobias Zagorni
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The calculation of the stride value passed to {{CopyStridedNatural}} by
> {{NumPyStridedConverter::Visit}} divides the stride value by sizeof(T), which
> is unsigned, without an appropriate type case. This causes
> {{CopyStridedNatural}} to access bogus indices.
> This is triggered by the existing test method {{test_numpy_to_pyarrow}} in
> {{test_array.py}} (at {{{}pa.array(np_arr[case]){}}}). When using ubsan
> catches a signed integer overflow, otherwise it apparently does what we want,
> but is still undefined behavoir.
> Also the existing behavoir would probably not work for data types that are
> not a power of 2, if such would exist (numpy docs mention a float96 can exist
> on some platforms, but I don't have them on x86_64)
