gh-139716: StackRef tests are added by efimov-mikhail · Pull Request #139717 · python/cpython

efimov-mikhail · 2025-10-07T18:16:29Z

New test file Lib/test/test_stackrefs.py introduced.
Some auxillary functions are added to _testinternalcapi.
Those functions are examples of correct StackRef scenarios.
We check that all refcounts remain correct.
And that results are the same for equivalent scenarios.

Issue: Add tests on basic PyStackRef functions #139716

Looks good. I've one concern about code organization, but that's all.

Friendly ping, @markshannon @Fidget-Spinner .
Maybe I should make another change to this PR?

Fidget-Spinner

Just two questions

efimov-mikhail · 2025-11-17T16:16:12Z

+_PyStackRef_AsTuple(_PyStackRef ref, PyObject *op)
+{
+ // Do not check StackRef flags in the free threading build.
+ return Py_BuildValue("(ni)", Py_REFCNT(op), -1);


Actually, I've realized that we could remove this special case.
It's related only to stackrefs for immortal objects at ft build.
We can make a little change for _PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal and for PyStackRef_FromPyObjectNew function: add Py_TAG_DEFERRED flag to references on immortal objects.
All tests passed with this change on my machine.
But I suggest doing this in the next small PR, and keep only tests changes here.

I've created a #141675 for this change.

Thanks!

Could we merge this?

Another option is merge #143024 first and adapt tests for that change here.
