Summary

Implement PyBaseException's existing owned Constructor::py_new operation.
Construct owned simple exception wrappers through their base constructor.
Forward one-field wrappers' GC traversal and clearing to their base, so allocations of owned wrappers retain cycle-collection behavior.
Add an external Rust integration test for an Exception subclass with an extra native field, including catches, chaining, and Python subclass constructor overrides.

The existing allocating slot_new implementations and private PyBaseException::new visibility are unchanged.

Motivation

A downstream native exception needs an owned base payload to embed alongside its own fields. Currently PyBaseException::py_new is unimplemented, and the generated PyException::py_new is unreachable. slot_new returns an allocated Python object instead of an owned payload. Completing the existing payload-construction trait operation avoids exposing fields or changing allocation/layout rules.

For example, OpenBlob needs catchable Python exceptions that retain a structured diagnostic in Rust storage, rather than treating mutable Python attributes as the diagnostic's source of truth. This reduced downstream example uses miette::Report, which owns a miette::Diagnostic with code, help, labels/spans, and source data. It is not a proposed RustPython dependency. Base-layout/traversal implementations, registration, and Python-facing inspection methods are omitted from this excerpt:

#[pyclass(module = "diagnostic_example", name = "DiagnosticError", base = PyException, traverse = "manual")]
#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Debug)]
struct DiagnosticError {
    base: PyException,
    diagnostic: miette::Report,
}

impl DiagnosticError {
    fn from_diagnostic(
        diagnostic: miette::Report,
        vm: &VirtualMachine,
    ) -> PyResult<PyRef<Self>> {
        let class = Self::make_static_type();
        let args: FuncArgs = vec![vm.ctx.new_str(diagnostic.to_string()).into()].into();
        Self {
            base: PyException::py_new(&class, args, vm)?,
            diagnostic,
        }
        .into_ref_with_type(vm, class)
    }
}

The actual report is passed as an ordinary Rust argument to from_diagnostic, not through Python arguments or the fixed Constructor::py_new signature. That trait method is used only to initialize the embedded base; the downstream factory builds and allocates the complete native payload. For example, the host can move an existing structured report into it:

let diagnostic = miette::miette!(
    code = "openblob::nested_tool",
    help = "Check the nested tool's configuration.",
    labels = vec![miette::LabeledSpan::at(0..20, "nested call failed")],
    "nested tool failed"
)
.with_source_code(miette::NamedSource::new(
    "script.py",
    "toolbox.fs.read_file('missing')",
));
let exception = DiagnosticError::from_diagnostic(diagnostic, vm)?;

The report remains Rust-owned when Python catches, reraises, or overrides presentation methods on the exception. Rust can still use its code(), help(), labels(), and source_code() APIs directly; a Python str would not preserve that structured diagnostic interface. A Python inspection method can return a fresh dictionary without making that dictionary authoritative. The missing operation is the owned base construction at PyException::py_new, not allocation via slot_new.

Verification

The owned-construction regression tests failed at the existing constructor stubs before the implementation and pass with it:

cargo test --locked -p rustpython-vm --no-default-features --features compiler,stdio,gc --test exception_payload_construction --test exception_payload_gc

The five focused tests (four construction tests plus one isolated GC test) include an argument traversal check and collection of an exception self-cycle retaining an argument object. The cycle regression failed before the traversal forwarding change and passes with it. Its own integration-test executable prevents other interpreter fixtures from contending for the process-global collector lock, which can cause a forced collection to skip. No collection retries or assertion weakening were added.

Verified on native Linux with Rust 1.99.1 and CPython 3.15.2:

Workspace tests excluding WASM, venvlauncher, and C-API: 1,505 passed, 20 ignored, including doctests.
After the test-isolation follow-up, the exact Linux CI workspace command passes locally: 1,482 passed, 2 ignored (its --lib --bins --tests selection excludes doctests). Both focused executables also passed 50 repeated four-thread runs each after reproducing the original CI failure.
C-API tests from crates/capi: 149 passed, 2 ignored.
cargo run --locked --release -- -m test test_exceptions: SUCCESS (112 run, 13 skipped).
Workspace and separate C-API Clippy checks, formatting, and configured pre-commit checks pass.

Additional target checks:

On wasm32-wasip2, Wasmtime 47.0.3 runs all five focused tests across the two executables (4 + 1) with compiler,stdio,gc and upstream's target flags (including its 1 MiB stack). The sample marker uses usize to avoid imposing a different payload alignment on 32-bit targets. Reproduce with CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_WASIP2_RUNNER="wasmtime run --dir=." cargo test --locked --target wasm32-wasip2 -p rustpython-vm --no-default-features --features compiler,stdio,gc --test exception_payload_construction --test exception_payload_gc -- --test-threads=1 using upstream's target flags, not an inherited -D warnings override.
The complete downstream miette::Report example was compiled and run on native Linux and wasm32-wasip2. Its Rust factory takes an already-created report; code, help, label/span, and named source data remain available after Python overrides.
This is constructor/payload validation, not a claim that OpenBlob's complete feature/flag combination can adopt current upstream unchanged. With host_env enabled, current upstream's unchanged WASIp2 path fails linking signal-emulation symbols (raise, signal, __SIG_ERR, __SIG_IGN). OpenBlob's strict -D warnings also encounters existing warnings in untouched upstream WASI code. Those baseline build issues are outside this PR.

Windows and Miri were not run locally. CI run 42306629575 is green on commit 33ef0c275d9ae47e7bc1e47a3c271826a72a4aa3: 28 checks passed and one benchmark comparison was skipped. This includes the Linux/macOS/Windows Rust suites, Windows CPython suite, WASM checks and WASI runtime suite, lint, docs, and the Miri job. The PR remains draft and unmerged.

AI assistance

Implementation, tests, investigation, and this description were prepared with OpenCode using GPT-6.1 Sol. Independent code reviews used GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra (high effort).

The contributor manually ran the focused external native-exception integration target in the Linux devcontainer and confirmed all five tests passed (zero failures). This human verification was separate from the automated checks above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Rust-defined Python exception subclasses with a single-field payload can now be constructed while retaining their native payload.
Bug Fixes
- Exception payloads are now handled correctly during garbage collection, including when exceptions form context cycles.
- Base exceptions can now be created with positional arguments instead of failing during construction.

Walkthrough

Base exception construction now uses supplied arguments. Generated one-field exception wrappers can own the base payload and forward traversal and clearing. Base exception references are cleared through the collector. Tests cover payload retention and collection after a context cycle.

Changes: Exception Payload Construction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Base exception construction contract `crates/vm/src/exceptions.rs`	`PyBaseException::py_new` constructs a payload from supplied positional arguments. The new `PyExceptionOwnedConstructor` trait provides the hook used by generated constructors.
Generated wrapper construction `crates/derive-impl/src/pyclass.rs`	Generated constructors pass the base constructor result to the owned-construction hook. One-field tuple wrappers generate owned construction and, when `traverse` is unspecified, forward traversal and clearing to their field.
Exception reference clearing and payload collection `crates/vm/src/exceptions.rs`, `crates/vm/tests/exception_payload.rs`	`PyBaseException::clear` moves traceback, cause, and context references to the collector. `PyMemoryError::clear` delegates to it, and `PyOSError::traverse` calls base traversal. Tests check payload retention and collection after a context cycle.

The CI failure is in our GC cycle regression: Linux reports that the argument object remains alive. I’m reproducing it with CI’s threaded feature configuration before changing the test or collector code.

          Support owned exception payload construction

158f64b

Implement the existing payload constructor for BaseException and generated simple exception wrappers without changing their allocating slots. Forward one-field wrapper traversal and clearing to the base so allocated owned wrappers remain visible to cyclic GC.

Add external-crate regressions for owned arguments, fresh state, native fields, Python constructor overrides, and collection of wrapper cycles.

AI assistance: OpenCode generated the implementation and tests with GPT-6.1 Sol; independent source reviews used GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra.

          Keep native exception regression payload alignment portable

42bf66f

Use a pointer-sized marker so the test subclass does not introduce a stronger payload alignment than PyException on wasm32. The existing compile-time layout checks remain unchanged.

Verified the focused regressions and the separate retained-miette example under Wasmtime on wasm32-wasip2. This changes test storage only, not the exception construction implementation.

          Isolate exception cycle collection from parallel interpreter fixtures

bc3744e

Move the cycle-collection regression unchanged into a separate integration test executable. Forced collection may skip when another interpreter holds the process-global collector lock, so concurrent fixtures cannot reliably assert collection after a single call.

Preserve the regression and feature gates without changing collector behavior, adding retries, or weakening the weak-reference assertion. Reproduced the original failure with four test threads; both isolated targets pass 50 repeated runs and the exact workspace CI command passes locally.

Clear cyclic references in base exception payloads #9738

Open


          Clear exception references and limit owned wrapper construction

dbd03c6

- Add Traverse::clear to PyBaseException, taking traceback, cause and
  context; PyMemoryError forwards to it.
- Traverse PyOSError's base through the PyException wrapper and drop the
  stale comment about its traversal being a no-op.
- Replace the inherent __pyexception_new helper emitted for every
  exception with a hidden PyExceptionOwnedConstructor trait; only
  one-field wrappers override its default.
- Add a context self-cycle to the owned wrapper GC test.

5b7284a

Assert context identity before collection and add isolated tests for argument
cycles and native context-cycle destruction. Keep the existing weakref check,
but use a native Drop witness to independently prove payload reclamation.

Document the changed Rust constructors, traversal/clearing helpers and tests
without overriding Python-exposed docstrings.

AI-assisted implementation and validation used OpenCode GPT-6.1 Sol, with
independent OpenCode GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra(high) review.

GC concern is very legit concern for values that cross the Python <=> Rust boundary. I've supervised the corresponding changes.

@coderabbitai please review

@JMLX42 I’ll request a review, with attention to GC behavior across the Python–Rust boundary.

          Merge owned exception payload tests into one file

fe88c60

Replace the five integration test files under crates/vm/tests with
exception_payload.rs, which keeps two tests on a native ValueError
subclass with a Drop witness:

- an owned payload built through py_new keeps its arguments and initial
  exception state, and round-trips through raise/except with its native
  field intact;
- a context self-cycle is collected and the native payload is dropped.

The tests share a mutex so forced collection is not skipped while the
other test's interpreter is collecting.
