Cython + tuple unpacking

[Hugues Salamin]

Hello,

The following code will crash with a segfault when compiled using cython (v0.11)

def func():
for (a, b) ,c ,d in zip(zip(range(3), range(3)), range(3), range(3)):
print a, b
print c
print d # This line segfault

Compilation is done using distutils.

If the module is imported in python and func is called, I got a segmentation
fault at the line "print d".

I investigated the error with valgrind and gdb but I still have no clue what is
going on.

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04, Kernel 2.6.24-22-generic

Thanks

Does this crash if you unpack the a,b tuple inside the loop?

Yes, this works for me in the latest (unstable) developer branch, but fails
in the release branch:

$ cd cython-unstable
$ cat rangeloop.pyx
def func():
for (a, b) ,c ,d in zip(zip(range(3), range(3)), range(3), range(3)):
print a, b
print c
print d # This line segfault

$ python2.6 -c 'import pyximport; pyximport.install(); \
import rangeloop; rangeloop.func()'

1 1

$ cd ../cython-release
$ python2.6 -c 'import pyximport; pyximport.install(); \
import rangeloop; rangeloop.func()'
0 0

Segmentation fault

Not sure why. I'm moving this to the Cython mailing list, we should be able
to help you there.
