Thouis (Ray) Jones <tho...@gmail.com> added the comment: Reading through many pages discussing readdir vs. readdir_r (many on security mailing lists, a large number referring to the page linked in the patch), I get the impression that most implementations are thread-safe as long as separate threads do not call readdir() using the same DIR pointer.
I believe there is some ambiguity in the POSIX specification as to whether this is the only way in which readdir() might be thread-unsafe. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
