Felipe Cruz added the comment: Just confirmed that signals is not a viable option. Is too slow, as Antonie already pointed. It's almost 5 times slower than with SIGEV_THREAD.
The problem now is: If I use Py_AddPendingCall, the tests can hang sometimes. I can still follow Amaury suggestion tough. If I try to acquire the GIL PyGILState_Ensure() call PyObject_CallObject and release the GIL in the aio_completion_handler function a SEGFAULT occurs in 2.7.3 but not in 3.3 and newer.. This branch works only on 3.3 and newer: https://github.com/felipecruz/pyaio/tree/feature/check_no_pending_call This other branch will segfault 2.7.3 with just acquire and release GIL on the completion handler: https://github.com/felipecruz/pyaio/tree/feature/py27_gil_error Since this looks very strange, can someone confirm this behavior? Tested on a Ubuntu12 64. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
