* gh-100228: Warn from os.fork() if other threads exist. (#100229)Gregory P. Smith2022-12-291-0/+2
| | | | | Not comprehensive, best effort warning. There are cases when threads exist on some platforms that this code cannot detect. macOS when API permissions allow and Linux with a readable /proc procfs present are the currently supported cases where a warning should show up reliably. Starting with a DeprecationWarning for now, it is less disruptive than something like RuntimeWarning and most likely to only be seen in people's CI tests - a good place to start with this messaging.
* gh-98610: Adjust the Optional Restrictions on Subinterpreters (GH-98618)Eric Snow2022-10-311-1/+7
| | | | | | | Previously, the optional restrictions on subinterpreters were: disallow fork, subprocess, and threads. By default, we were disallowing all three for "isolated" interpreters. We always allowed all three for the main interpreter and those created through the legacy `Py_NewInterpreter()` API. Those settings were a bit conservative, so here we've adjusted the optional restrictions to: fork, exec, threads, and daemon threads. The default for "isolated" interpreters disables fork, exec, and daemon threads. Regular threads are allowed by default. We continue always allowing everything For the main interpreter and the legacy API. In the code, we add `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_exec` and `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_daemon_threads`. We also add `Py_RTFLAGS_DAEMON_THREADS` and `Py_RTFLAGS_EXEC`.

* bpo-45735: Promise the long-time truth that `args=list` works (GH-30982)Charlie Zhao2022-02-261-1/+1
| | | | | | For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality. Doc changes by Charlie Zhao. Co-authored-by: Tim Peters <tim.peters@gmail.com>

* bpo-1596321: Fix threading._shutdown() for the main thread (GH-28549)Victor Stinner2021-09-271-8/+17
| | | | | Fix the threading._shutdown() function when the threading module was imported first from a thread different than the main thread: no longer log an error at Python exit.
* bpo-45274: Fix Thread._wait_for_tstate_lock() race condition (GH-28532)Victor Stinner2021-09-271-4/+17
| | | | | | Fix a race condition in the Thread.join() method of the threading module. If the function is interrupted by a signal and the signal handler raises an exception, make sure that the thread remains in a consistent state to prevent a deadlock.
* bpo-44422: threading.Thread reuses the _delete() method (GH-26741)Victor Stinner2021-06-161-7/+1
| | | | | | | The _bootstrap_inner() method of threading.Thread now reuses its _delete() method rather than accessing _active() directly. It became possible since _active_limbo_lock became reentrant. Moreover, it no longer ignores any exception when deleting the thread from the _active dictionary.
* bpo-44422: Fix threading.enumerate() reentrant call (GH-26727)Victor Stinner2021-06-151-3/+6
| | | | The threading.enumerate() function now uses a reentrant lock to prevent a hang on reentrant call.
* bpo-37788: Fix reference leak when Thread is never joined (GH-26103)Antoine Pitrou2021-05-141-1/+18
| | | When a Thread is not joined after it has stopped, its lock may remain in the _shutdown_locks set until interpreter shutdown. If many threads are created this way, the _shutdown_locks set could therefore grow endlessly. To avoid such a situation, purge expired locks each time a new one is added or removed.

* bpo-43723: Deprecate camelCase aliases from threading (GH-25174)Jelle Zijlstra2021-04-121-4/+72
| | | | | | The snake_case names have existed since Python 2.6, so there is no reason to keep the old camelCase names around. One similar method, threading.Thread.isAlive, was already removed in Python 3.9 (bpo-37804).

* bpo-42350: Fix Thread._reset_internal_locks() (GH-23268)Victor Stinner2020-11-161-2/+6
| | | | | Fix the threading.Thread class at fork: do nothing if the thread is already stopped (ex: fork called at Python exit). Previously, an error was logged in the child process.
* bpo-42308: Add threading.__excepthook__ (GH-23218)Mario Corchero2020-11-121-0/+4
| | | | | Add threading.__excepthook__ to allow retrieving the original value of threading.excepthook in case it is set to a broken or a different value.
* bpo-42251: Add gettrace and getprofile to threading (GH-23125)Mario Corchero2020-11-041-1/+9
| | | This allows to retrieve the functions that were set in these two, which might differ from sys.gettrace and sys.getprofile within a thread.

* bpo-40089: Add _at_fork_reinit() method to locks (GH-19195)Victor Stinner2020-04-071-5/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock, _thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes: reinitialize the lock after fork in the child process; reset the lock to the unlocked state. Rename also the private _reset_internal_locks() method of threading.Event to _at_fork_reinit(). * Add _PyThread_at_fork_reinit() private function. It is excluded from the limited C API. * threading.Thread._reset_internal_locks() now calls _at_fork_reinit() on self._tstate_lock rather than creating a new Python lock object.
* bpo-39812: Remove daemon threads in concurrent.futures (GH-19149)Kyle Stanley2020-03-271-0/+29
| | | | | | Remove daemon threads from :mod:`concurrent.futures` by adding an internal `threading._register_atexit()`, which calls registered functions prior to joining all non-daemon threads. This allows for compatibility with subinterpreters, which don't support daemon threads.
* bpo-40089: Fix threading._after_fork() (GH-19191)Victor Stinner2020-03-271-1/+9
| | | | | If fork was not called by a thread spawned by threading.Thread, threading._after_fork() now creates a _MainThread instance for _main_thread, instead of a _DummyThread instance.
* bpo-15999: Clean up of handling boolean arguments. (GH-15610)Serhiy Storchaka2019-09-011-1/+1
| | | | | | * Use the 'p' format unit instead of manually called PyObject_IsTrue(). * Pass boolean value instead 0/1 integers to functions that needs boolean. * Convert some arguments to boolean only once.

* Improve threading.daemon docstring (GH-14278)mbarkhau2019-06-221-2/+1
| | | Rephrase and clarify that "the entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left". This matches the documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#thread-objects.
* bpo-37266: Daemon threads are now denied in subinterpreters (GH-14049)Victor Stinner2019-06-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | In a subinterpreter, spawning a daemon thread now raises an exception. Daemon threads were never supported in subinterpreters. Previously, the subinterpreter finalization crashed with a Pyton fatal error if a daemon thread was still running. * Add _thread._is_main_interpreter() * threading.Thread.start() now raises RuntimeError if the thread is a daemon thread and the method is called from a subinterpreter. * The _thread module now uses Argument Clinic for the new function. * Use textwrap.dedent() in test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests
* tbpo-36402: Fix threading.Thread._stop() (GH-14047)Victor Stinner2019-06-131-1/+1

* bpo-36402: Fix threading._shutdown() race condition (GH-13948)Victor Stinner2019-06-121-9/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a race condition at Python shutdown when waiting for threads. Wait until the Python thread state of all non-daemon threads get deleted (join all non-daemon threads), rather than just wait until Python threads complete. * Add threading._shutdown_locks: set of Thread._tstate_lock locks of non-daemon threads used by _shutdown() to wait until all Python thread states get deleted. See Thread._set_tstate_lock(). * Add also threading._shutdown_locks_lock to protect access to threading._shutdown_locks. * Add test_finalization_shutdown() test.
* bpo-1230540: Add threading.excepthook() (GH-13515)Victor Stinner2019-05-271-52/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught exceptions are handled. threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not be used directly. * threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs. * Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a 'file' parameter. * Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook calling _PyErr_Display(). * Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type. * Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python shutdown. * Add unit tests.
