Fix to use
Py_XINCREFinstead ofPy_INCREFto safely handle the case whereop_dtypes[0]is NULLRoot Cause
string_expandtabs_length_promoter, the first item ofop_dtypescan be NULL.Rationale
ops, legacy type resolution does not handle NULL well. Therefore, I changed the logic to use the second item instead.Outcome
numpy._core.strings._expandtabs_length.reduce(numpy.zeros(200))now raises aUFuncTypeError, instead of causing a segmentation fault.
