Summary:
TestNSDictionarySynthetic sets up an NSURL which does not initialize its
_baseURL member. When the test runs and we print out the NSURL, we print
out some garbage memory pointed-to by the _baseURL member, like:
and this can cause a python unicode decoding error like:
There's a discrepancy here because lldb's StringPrinter facility tries
to only print out "printable" sequences (see: isprint32()), whereas python
rejects the StringPrinter output as invalid utf8. For the specific error
seen above, lldb's
isprint32(0xa0) = true
, even though 0xa0 is notreally "printable" in the usual sense.
The problem is that lldb and python disagree on what exactly is
"printable". Both have dismayingly hand-rolled utf8 validation code
(c.f. _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex), and I can't really tell which one is more
correct.
I tried replacing lldb's isprint32() with a call to libc's iswprint():
this satisfied python, but broke emoji printing :|.
Now, I believe that lldb (and python too) ought to just call into some
battle-tested utf library, and that we shouldn't aim for compatibility
with python's strict unicode decoding mode until then.
FWIW I ran this test under an ASanified lldb hundreds of times but
didn't turn up any other issues.
