New submission from Jeff Robbins <je...@livedata.com>:
The close() method of IocpProactor in windows_events.py has this code in its
close() method:
while self._cache:
if not self._poll(1):
logger.debug('taking long time to close proactor')
The bug is that self._poll() has *no* return statements in it, and so returns
None no matter what. Which makes the "if not" part confusing, at best. At
worst, it might reflect a disconnect with the author's intent.
I added a bit more logging and re-ran my test:
while self._cache:
logger.debug('before self._poll(1)')
if not self._poll(1):
logger.debug('taking long time to close proactor')
logger.debug(f'{self._cache}')
logger output:
20:16:30.247 (D) MainThread asyncio: before self._poll(1)
20:16:30.248 (D) MainThread asyncio: taking long time to
close proactor
20:16:30.249 (D) MainThread asyncio: {}
Obviously 1 millisecond isn't "taking a long time to close proactor". Also of
interest, the _cache is now empty.
I think the intent of the author must have been to check if the call to
._poll() cleared out any possible pending futures, or waited the full 1 second.
Since ._poll() doesn't return any value to differentiate if it waited the full
wait period or not, the "if" is wrong, and, I think, the intent of the author
isn't met by this code.
But, separate from speculating on "intent", the debug output of "taking a long
time to close proactor" seems wrong, and the .close() code seems disassociated
with the implementation of ._poll() in the same class IocpProactor in
windows_events.py.
