I think with FORCE_SWITCHING defined (the default?) it is not possible for the thread releasing the GIL to immediately reacquire it (unless there is a spurious wakeup when waiting on switch_cond). If all threads which wait on a condition are testing the same predicate then the stolen wakeup issue probably won't cause any misbehaviour. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15038> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
