In the new patch, issue10254b.diff, I've added a test that would crash
unpatched code:
>>> unicodedata.normalize('NFC', 'C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸C̸Ç')
Segmentation fault
Martin, I still feel uneasy about the fixed size of the skipped buffer. It is
not obvious that skipped combining characters always get removed from the
buffer before the next starter is processed.
I would really like another pair of eyes to look at this code before it goes in
especially to 2.6.
Victor,
IIRC, you did some stress testing on random data. I wonder if you could test
this code after tightening the assert to cskipped < 4. (The current theory is
that this should be enough.)
