Brian Curtin <br...@python.org> added the comment: Attaching an initial patch implementing the same functionality but using WaitForMultipleObjects. Here's some details:
WFMO takes an array of objects to wait on, which is the pipe handle and sigint_event which is a handle to an event which gets set when CTRL-C is caught (see Modules/_multiprocessing/multiprocessing.c). Waiting for both objects replaces the need to write a custom loop which periodically calls PyErr_CheckSignals. A negative timeout was effectively a blocking call, so we can let WFMO handle that with an INFINITE timeout setting. WFMO returns the object which raised it relative from event 0, so the switch case for a CTRL-C is 0+1 and returns the same value as before. If the pipe was the object to raise, just like before: return true if there's data, false if not. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21405/issue11668.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11668> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
