New submission from Andrei Pashkin <andrew.pash...@gmx.co.uk>:
To me it seems like Advanced Debugger Support C-API doesn't make sense without HEAD_LOCK() and HEAD_UNLOCK() which are private right now. When researching how C-API works I've found this comment in the source code: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e838a9324c1719bb917ca81ede8d766b5cb551f4/Python/pystate.c#L1176 It says that the lists of interpreter-state and thread-state objects (that Adv. Debugger Support API operates on) could be mutated even when GIL is held so there is need to acquire head mutex when accessing them. But there is no way to acquire head mutex using public C-API. Am I right? If yes - it seems like HEAD_(UN)LOCK() should be made public. ---------- components: C API messages: 371988 nosy: pashkin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Advanced Debugger Support C-API is useless without HEAD_LOCK()/HEAD_UNLOCK() type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41062> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
