This will run the tests inside of gdb on Linux, so if a test segfaults (or sends some other signal), we will get a traceback in the logs.

Marking as a draft because it seems to fail on Python 3.12.

Current issues with this approach:

  • Unexplained breakage on Python 3.12
  • We don't use debug builds of Python, so tracebacks are less useful than they could be
  • Using debug builds might have other side effects in the non-segfaulting case, so not clear there's a way forward.

Given all that, closing this as a dead experiment, but if someone wants to move forward with a better solution, feel free.
