Summary
This pull request introduces enhancements to cursor and connection management in the
mssql_pythonlibrary, aiming to improve resource cleanup and debugging capabilities. Key changes include adding destructors for automatic cleanup, enhancing logging for better traceability, and introducing new tests to validate cursor behavior during garbage collection and connection closure.Resource Cleanup Enhancements:
__del__method inmssql_python/connection.pyto automatically close connections during object destruction, with error logging for cleanup issues.__del__method inmssql_python/cursor.pyto ensure cursors are closed when no longer needed, with error handling during destruction.Debugging Improvements:
mssql_python/connection.pyandmssql_python/cursor.pywith detailed print statements for tracking cursor states and operations (e.g., during connection closure, statement execution, and data fetching). [1] [2] [3] [4]Testing Additions:
test_cursor_cleanup_without_closeto verify that cursors are properly cleaned up when the connection is not explicitly closed.test_no_segfault_on_gcto ensure no segmentation faults occur during garbage collection of connections and cursors. This test runs in a subprocess to isolate potential crashes.
