The value type is DWORD. 0xffffffff is a maximum allowed value for DWORD. 0 implies something like 8 for Intel i7. I don't remember the reason (the value was present is very first proactor implementation and never changed after it). Maybe giving Windows a privilegy to decide what number of IO threads is optimal is not a bad idea, I don't know. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
