Well, I'd rather have obviously correct code than difficult-to-understand "speedy" code. The patch I've posted takes less than a microsecond per acquire/release pair, and that's in a virtual machine to begin with. > Do you really want the GIL to be 10 times slower in the uncontended case? ;-) The GIL doesn't use these functions (see ceval_gil.h). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
