Debug build
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
A debug build is Python built with the :option:`--with-pydebug` configure
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
Effects of a debug build:
|
||||
|
||||
* Define ``Py_DEBUG`` and ``Py_REF_DEBUG`` macros.
|
||||
* Add ``d`` to :data:`sys.abiflags`.
|
||||
* Add :func:`sys.gettotalrefcount` function.
|
||||
* Add :option:`-X showrefcount <-X>` command line option.
|
||||
* Add :envvar:`PYTHONTHREADDEBUG` environment variable.
|
||||
* The list of default warning filters is empty in the :mod:`warnings` module.
|
||||
* Install debug hooks on memory allocators to detect buffer overflow and other
|
||||
memory errors: see :c:func:`PyMem_SetupDebugHooks`.
|
||||
* Build Python with assertions (don't set ``NDEBUG`` macro):
|
||||
``assert(...);`` and ``_PyObject_ASSERT(...);`` are removed.
|
||||
See also the :option:`--with-assertions` configure option.
|
||||
* Add runtime checks, code surroundeded by ``#ifdef Py_DEBUG`` and ``#endif``.
|
||||
* Unicode and int objects are created with their memory filled with a pattern
|
||||
to help detecting uninitialized bytes.
|
||||

they can clear or replace the current exception.

consistency.

introduces the only ABI incompatibility.
