Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: Ah, but I think you missed the main point of the new patch. There is a counter incremented and decremented. So, the State is set only when the first thread enters a guarded section, and then restored when the final thread leaves the section. There is no per-thread storage of the previous state anymore, only static variables storing the "unmodified state" to restore to when the last thread leaves a guarded section. As long as some thread is in a guarded section, assertions and stuff is turned off, otherwise, we keep the old ones.
This is similar in some ways to the special version of Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS (FILE_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS, was it?) used in fileio.c. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4804> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
