[New-bugs-announce] [issue2548] Undetected error in exception handling

[Thomas Heller]

New submission from Thomas Heller <theller at ctypes.org>:

[Found by Daniel Diniz (ajaksu2), see issue #2542]

The following code triggers an undetected error with a debug build:

"""
import sys
def g():
  try:
    return g()
  except:
    return sys.exc_info()
g()
print 42
"""

Running the code prints this:

C:\svn\trunk\PCbuild>python_d test2.py
42
XXX undetected error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test2.py", line 8, in <module>
    print 42
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
