We already have checks in place to avoid borrowing these classes on other
threads but it was still possible to send them to another thread and drop them
there (while holding the GIL).
This change avoids running the `Drop` implementation in such a case even though
Python will still free the underlying memory. This might leak resources owned by
the object, but it avoids undefined behaviour due to access the unsendable type
from another thread.
This does assume that the object was not unsafely integrated into an intrusive
data structures which still point to the now freed memory. In that case, the
only recourse would be to abort the process as freeing the memory is unavoidable
when the tp_dealloc slot is called. (And moving it elsewhere into a new
allocation would still break any existing pointers.)
* ci: test on emscripten target
This adds CI to build libpython3.11 for wasm32-emscripten and
running tests against it. We need to patch instant to work
around the emscripten_get_now:
https://github.com/sebcrozet/instant/pull/47
We also have to patch emscripten to work aroung the "undefined
symbol gxx_personality_v0" error:
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17128
I set up a nox file to download and install emscripten,
download and build cpython, set appropriate environment variables
then run cargo test. The workflow just installs python, rust,
node, and nox and runs the nox session.
I xfailed all the test failures. There are problems with datetime.
iter_dict_nosegv and test_filenotfounderror should probably be
fixable. The tests that involve threads or asyncio probably can't
be fixed.
* Some cleanup
* Remove instant patch
* Add explanations for xfails
