From 905288824dd6874659bf3e3aa06c6a67e47f0ac3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2024 22:55:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [3.13] gh-123321: Make Parser/myreadline.c locking safe in free-threaded build (GH-123690) (#123798) gh-123321: Make Parser/myreadline.c locking safe in free-threaded build (GH-123690) Use a `PyMutex` to avoid the race in mutex initialization. Use relaxed atomics to avoid the data race on reading `_PyOS_ReadlineTState` when checking for re-entrant calls.
