[New-bugs-announce] [issue36989] test_thread fails because symbol is (no longer) exported

[Michael Felt]

New submission from Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl>:

On AIX, with commit 4fb15021890d327023aefd95f5a84ac33b037d19 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

test_thread is failing.

The three sub_tests that exit as ERROR are:
ERROR: test_threads_join_2 (test.test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests)
ERROR: test_frame_tstate_tracing (test.test_threading.ThreadTests)

These two have in common:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ImportError:    0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /home/buildbot/python-master/build/lib.aix-7.1-3.8-pydebug/_testcapi.so because:
        0509-136   Symbol _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName (number 191) is not exported from
                   dependent module python.
        0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
                 'dump -Tv' command.

FAIL: test_daemon_threads_fatal_error (test.test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests)

I am guessing that:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_daemon_threads_fatal_error (test.test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/buildbot/python-master/Lib/test/test_threading.py", line 942, in test_daemon_threads_fatal_error
    self.assertIn("Fatal Python error: Py_EndInterpreter: "

is caused by the earlier failures.
