描述

2. High Feature Python

Native crash frames generated by Cython-compiled code appear as mangled C
symbols (e.g. __pyx_pw_6module_3func) in sentry-native stack traces, making
them unreadable without manual demangling. The Python SDK captures Cython
frames correctly at the Python level (.pyx file, line number), but when a
crash occurs in the native layer of a Cython extension, the native stack frames
shown in Sentry are opaque.

Current behavior

  • Python-level Cython frames (captured by sentry-python via sys.exc_info())
    show correct .pyx source file and line number
  • Native frames from the C code generated by Cython (captured by sentry-native
    on crash) show raw mangled symbols: __pyx_pw_6module_3func_1name,
    __pyx_f_6module_3ClassName_method, etc.
  • C++ demangling (__cxa_demangle) does not apply to Cython's naming scheme
  • No Cython-specific demangling exists in sentry-python or the Sentry backend

Gap

Cython uses a deterministic, documented symbol naming convention for the C code
it generates. A demangler can reconstruct the original Python-facing name from
a __pyx_* symbol:

  • __pyx_pw_<module>_<n><name> → Python wrapper for <module>.<name>
  • __pyx_f_<module>_<ClassName>_<method> → C-level function for
    <module>.<ClassName>.<method>

This demangling could be applied as a post-processing step in the
GnuBacktraceIntegration or as a standalone CythonIntegration, enriching
native frames with human-readable Cython source names before the event is sent
to Sentry.

Options

  1. Extend GnuBacktraceIntegration to detect and demangle __pyx_* symbols
    in parsed backtrace frames — lowest friction, reuses existing pipeline
  2. Add a standalone CythonIntegration event processor that post-processes
    all native frames across exception and crash events — cleaner separation,
    applicable beyond GnuBacktrace-formatted strings
  3. Implement server-side demangling in the Sentry symbolicator for __pyx_*
    symbols — transparent to SDK users, but requires changes outside this repo
