Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: Using new syscalls for _posixsubprocess.c would be a feature so it would be limited to 3.7+ if done at all.
My gut feeling is that the real bug is in *any* library code that uses pthread_atfork() in a non thread safe manner. That code is fundamentally broken as it is placing a burden upon the entire application that it lives within that the application and no other libraries may use threads or if it does that it may not launch subprocesses. That is unrealistic. So I'd blame OpenBlas and OpenMP. Supporting alternate system calls seems like it would just paper over the issue of improper use of pthread_atfork rather than address the fundamental problem. ---------- versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31814> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
