Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: Hello Steffen,
First, thanks for testing this on OS-X: I only have access to Linux systems (I tested both the semaphore and the emulated semaphore paths). If I understand correctly, the patch works fine with the default build option on OS-X. Then, you're saying that OS-X doesn't have POSIX unnamed semaphores: this means that the default build uses the mutex+condition variable version. Am I correct? But I don't understand the last part of your message. Do you mean that you implemented your own version of the semaphore path using named semaphores, and that it fails with my patch (well, your adapted version of it) ? If yes, then you'll understand that I can't comment on this, since it's not my code :-) But after a quick look at the code you posted, I think that your acquire code is broken: sem_timedwait(timeout) if not the same as trying sem_trywait multiple times until timeout expires: in case of contention, this will fail. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
