Checked out Python-3.5 from mercurial. Compiled with Clang 3.4, added -fsanitzie=undefined to CFLAGS. Ran 'make' and 'make check'. A few issues during `make`:

Objects/longobject.c:40:42: runtime error: index -3 out of bounds for type 'PyLongObject [262]'
Objects/listobject.c:2046:22: runtime error: index 623 out of bounds for type 'PyObject *[256]'
Objects/longobject.c:40:42: runtime error: index -3 out of bounds for type 'PyLongObject [262]'

Similar issues with `make test`, with the addition of some mis-aligned pointers. A digest is below, and the tagCDataObject alignment issue dominates the issues. The tests ended early due to a segfault.

I think most of the issues in the 20929 report (Python 3.4-RC3) are present in this report. But under this report, I can re-test as you check in the fixes. (Python 3.4-RC3 is fixed in time from my perspective).

Here's another one I missed. The first is a problem due to silent truncation when casting from the double 3.40282e+38 to a float (or Clang is wrong).

You, too, can build with the undefined behavior sanitizer using the helpful instructions at http://docs.python.org/devguide/clang.html

Serhiy’s patch does fix about half the errors (1 whole screenful reduces to a bit over 1/2 a screenful). I do find it a bit ugly though (four casts in the one term of a macro!).
