New submission from Fabio Zadrozny <fab...@users.sourceforge.net>:
Right now it's hard for debuggers to set the tracing function to be used for running threads. This would be really handy for debuggers when attaching to a running program to debug all threads. -- Note: currently there is a way to achieve that by pausing all the threads then selectively switching to a thread to make it current and setting the tracing function using the C-API (see: https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger/blob/master/pydevd_attach_to_process/dll/attach.cpp#L1224), but I believe this is very hacky and not portable to other Python implementations. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 330849 nosy: fabioz priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Provide API to set the tracing function to be used for running threads. versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35370> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
