Thanks to David Edelsohn I have AIX access now. The issue reported by Pablo is the same as #41540, for a summary see msg375480. It is a trivial issue that requires that ulimits are in place due to the fact that AIX over-allocates petabytes even when the physical memory is just 16GB. I have verified that the Python-3.7.7 release, which contains the feature, behaves exactly like master: No limits ========= ./configure CC=xlc AR="ar -X64" CFLAGS="-q64 -qmaxmem=70000 -qlanglvl=extc99 -qcpluscmt -qkeyword=inline -qalias=ansi -qthreaded -D_THREAD_SAFE -D__VACPP_MULTI__" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -q64" skrah@gcc119:[/home/skrah/Python-3.7.7]./python -m test -uall test_decimal 0:00:00 Run tests sequentially 0:00:00 [1/1] test_decimal Killed There is no segfault, the program receives SIGKILL. Data limits (-bmaxdata) ======================= ./configure CC=xlc AR="ar -X64" CFLAGS="-q64 -qmaxmem=70000 -qlanglvl=extc99 -qcpluscmt -qkeyword=inline -qalias=ansi -qthreaded -D_THREAD_SAFE -D__VACPP_MULTI__" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -q64 -bmaxdata:0x800000000" skrah@gcc119:[/home/skrah/Python-3.7.7]./python -m test -uall test_decimal 0:00:00 Run tests sequentially 0:00:00 [1/1] test_decimal == Tests result: SUCCESS == 1 test OK. Total duration: 18.0 sec Tests result: SUCCESS In summary, since 64-bit AIX users should be familiar with data limits, I don't consider the situation a _decimal bug at all. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
