* SF patch 522961: Leak in Python/thread_nt.h, from Gerald S. Williams.Tim Peters2002-02-281-14/+1
| | | | | | | A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but was never referenced, and entries never got removed. This gets rid of the YAGNI-dict entirely. Bugfix candidate.
* Remove the unused & broken PyThread_*_sema() functions and related constants.Fred Drake2002-01-191-53/+0
| | | | This closes SF patch #504215.
* Fix a bug in the previous checkin. The wrong bootstrap function wasGuido van Rossum2001-10-161-1/+1
| | | | passed to _beginthread().
* Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.Guido van Rossum2001-10-161-3/+45
| | | | | | This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1 for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I doubt anyone calls it.)
* SF bug [#456252] Python should never stomp on [u]intptr_t.Tim Peters2001-08-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | pyport.h: typedef a new Py_intptr_t type. DELICATE ASSUMPTION: That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is available as well as uintptr_t. If that turns out not to be true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's an assumption we're *likely* to get away with). thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread: MS _beginthread is documented as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used. Others: Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead. The problem as stated by Tim: > Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks > like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older > versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in > the days of segment+offset addressing)! The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x prepended to it. Notes on the patch: There are two main classes of changes: - in the various repr() functions that print out pointers - debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the patch is large) Closes SourceForge patch #100505.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | who wrote: Here's the new version of thread_nt.h. More particular, there is a new version of thread lock that uses kernel object (e.g. semaphore) only in case of contention; in other case it simply uses interlocked functions, which are faster by the order of magnitude. It doesn't make much difference without threads present, but as soon as thread machinery initialised and (mostly) the interpreter global lock is on, difference becomes tremendous. I've included a small script, which initialises threads and launches pystone. With original thread_nt.h, Pystone results with initialised threads are twofold worse then w/o threads. With the new version, only 10% worse. I have used this patch for about 6 months (with threaded and non-threaded applications). It works remarkably well (though I'd desperately prefer Python was free-threaded; I hope, it will soon).
