New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.a...@gmail.com>:
As far as I know, generators, set comprehensions, list comprehensions, and dict
comprehensions, (along with their asynchronous variants) are implemented by
first calling the GET_(A)ITER opcode and then building and calling a function
that acepts the resulting iterator as its sole argument.
Assigning the code object used to make that function (or using it in the
types.FunctionType constructor) and then calling it with a non-iterator
argument will obviously cause a crash since the FOR_ITER opcode rightly expects
that it will never have to deal with non-iterators and calls tp_iternext
without checking if it exists.
The 4-liner demonstrates the crash:
if 1:
fn = lambda: None
gi = (i for i in ())
fn.__code__ = gi.gi_code
[*fn("abc")]
