Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:
Thanks for the golang SysProcAttr reference. The internals of _posixsubprocess have already becoming unwieldy with the abundance of args. Such a struct/object would also fit in well there and avoid excessive C stack use. (as izbyshev noted during the vfork work) Most prctl uses I noticed were PDEATHSIG but I'd need to explicitly audit those. Users don't seem to care about it's documented main thread caveat (which matches what I've seen; most programs don't use non-daemon threads and exit the main thread). I want what we do for this to be futureproof for the syscall so that we don't wind up merely picking one feature such as PDEATHSIG to pass a flags through to and needing to add logic to support others later on, delaying the ability to use new system features. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42736> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
