Is it an hypothetical analysis by reading the C code, or did you get deadlock in practice? If yes, can you please explain how to reproduce the bug and try to get the gdb traceback of the thread which is blocked in faulthandler? In general, faulthandler is an opt-in option for developers, it's not perfect, it only promises best-effort ;-) But I'm a little bit surprised of your deadlock issue. test_faulthandler is running on a wide range of platforms and I didn't notice such deadlock on buildbots yet. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
