Description
The following problem arose while working on #12415. Put the following code in your ~/.sage/init.sage
:
import multiprocessing class Task(multiprocessing.Process): def run(self): sage_namespace = dict(sage.all_cmdline.__dict__) exec compile("from sage.tests.interrupt import *","","single",0,1) in sage_namespace exec compile("test_sig_block()","","single",0,1) in sage_namespace exec compile("sig_on_count()","","single",0,1) in sage_namespace Task().start()
It will result in the following being printed (though your Sage process survives since the segfault occurs in a chile process):
42 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unhandled SIGSEGV: A segmentation fault occurred in Sage. This probably occurred because a *compiled* component of Sage has a bug in it and is not properly wrapped with sig_on(), sig_off(). You might want to run Sage under gdb with 'sage -gdb' to debug this. Sage will now terminate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typing it in to a running Sage session does not cause the same failure.

Apparently, it is illegal to exit a try
block while sig_on()
is in effect.
Patch (which also adds some debug code for sig_block()
/sig_unblock()
) needs review.

I suppose that it does confuse something on the Python heap when you suddenly jump back into the try/except block?
Patch looks good to me.

I found the culprit. Putting all the code inside
try:/except:
instead of justsig_on()
fixes the problem.
