New submission from Camion <[email protected]>:
The following code will obviously cause a memory leak, but this will not be
detected and crash the interpreter:
def inf():
while True: yield 0
def use(*parm):
for i in parm: print(i)
and then
use(*inf())
or
print(*int())
The reason of this test is that I wanted to check if ever python would be able
to make lazy evaluation in parameter passing (It would be nice if it was but it
is not the case). However, at least, I think this error should have been
detected as well as an infinite recursion is, because it even has been able to
crash and reboot a not so old (18) version of linux Mint.
