I've recently done this to implement potential deadlock detection. I keep a record of the sequences of acquired locks, find unique sequences, then check for conflicts between each sequence. There's not much overhead and it highlighted some potential deadlocks where lock A and B were acquired AB in one route through code and BA in another route. The algorithm is a simplified version of that used in Linux - see http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/lockdep-design.txt Hugh ---------- nosy: +hgibson50 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3001> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
