Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: Again, to clarify because this seems to have been put to sleep by Martin's unfortunate dismissal. A recap of the patch:
1) Extract the Contition Variable functions on windows out of ceval_gil.h and into thread_nt_cv.h, so that they can be used in more places. 2) Implement the "Lock" primitive in Python using CritialSection and condition variables, rather than windows Mutexes. This gives a large performance boost on uncontended locks. 3) Provide an alternate implementation of the Condition Variable for a build target of Vista/Server 2008, using the native contidion variable objects available for that platform. I think Martin got distraught by 3) and though that was the only thing this patch is about. The important part is 1) and 2) whereas 3) is provided as a bonus (and to make sure that 1) is future-safe) So, can we get this reviewed please? ---------- _______________________________________ 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
