Kristján Valur Jónsson 00f2df495a Issue 3582. Improved thread support and TLS for Windows 2009-01-09 20:03:27 +00:00
Kristján Valur Jónsson f030394de3 Fix problems in x64 build that were discovered by the testsuite:
- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows.  There is only Itanium and x64.  Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h.  The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier.  Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.

With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.

Tim Peters 28eeefe566 Revert revisions:
46640 Patch #1454481:  Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix

The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them.  See python-dev discussion.

Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like

svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH

followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.

Georg Brandl af410b510d bug [ 1234979 ] Lock.acquire treats only 1 as True 2005-07-08 22:26:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 2e7e7df969 An Anonymous Coward on c.l.py posted a little program with bizarre
behavior, creating many threads very quickly.  A long debugging session
revealed that the Windows implementation of PyThread_start_new_thread()
was choked with "laziness" errors:

1. It checked MS _beginthread() for a failure return, but when that
   happened it returned heap trash as the function result, instead of
   an id of -1 (the proper error-return value).

2. It didn't consider that the Win32 CreateSemaphore() can fail.

3. When creating a great many threads very quickly, it's quite possible
   that any particular bootstrap call can take virtually any amount of
   time to return.  But the code waited for a maximum of 5 seconds, and
   didn't check to see whether the semaphore it was waiting for got
   signaled.  If it in fact timed out, the function could again return
   heap trash as the function result.  This is actually what confused
   the test program, as the heap trash usually turned out to be 0, and
   then multiple threads all got id 0 simultaneously, confusing the
   hell out of threading.py's _active dict (mapping id to thread
   object).  A variety of baffling behaviors followed from that.

WRT #1 and #2, error returns are checked now, and "thread.error: can't
start new thread" gets raised now if a new thread (or new semaphore)
can't be created.  WRT #3, we now wait for the semaphore without a
timeout.

Also removed useless local vrbls, folded long lines, and changed callobj
to a stack auto (it was going thru malloc/free instead, for no discernible
reason).

Bugfix candidate.

Tim Peters e64ef931d6 SF patch 522961: Leak in Python/thread_nt.h, from Gerald S. Williams.
A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but
was never referenced, and entries never got removed.  This gets rid of
the YAGNI-dict entirely.
Bugfix candidate.

Guido van Rossum 3c28863e08 Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error.  (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)

Tim Peters 79248aa1e4 SF bug [#456252] Python should never stomp on [u]intptr_t.
pyport.h:  typedef a new Py_intptr_t type.
    DELICATE ASSUMPTION:  That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is
    available as well as uintptr_t.  If that turns out not to be
    true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's
    an assumption we're *likely* to get away with).
thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread:  MS _beginthread is documented
    as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used.
Others:  Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.

Fred Drake a44d353e2b Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.

The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!

The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.


Notes on the patch:

There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)


Closes SourceForge patch #100505.

Guido van Rossum 706262bde0 Fast NonRecursiveMutex support by Yakov Markovitch, markovitch@iso.ru,
who wrote:

Here's the new version of thread_nt.h.  More particular, there is a
new version of thread lock that uses kernel object (e.g. semaphore)
only in case of contention; in other case it simply uses interlocked
functions, which are faster by the order of magnitude.  It doesn't
make much difference without threads present, but as soon as thread
machinery initialised and (mostly) the interpreter global lock is on,
difference becomes tremendous.  I've included a small script, which
initialises threads and launches pystone.  With original thread_nt.h,
Pystone results with initialised threads are twofold worse then w/o
threads.  With the new version, only 10% worse.  I have used this
patch for about 6 months (with threaded and non-threaded
applications).  It works remarkably well (though I'd desperately
prefer Python was free-threaded; I hope, it will soon).

Guido van Rossum 65d5b5763c Thanks to Chris Herborth, the thread primitives now have proper Py*
names in the source code (they already had those for the linker,
through some smart macros; but the source still had the old, un-Py names).

Guido van Rossum 49b1226781 Use _beginthread() and _endthread() in favor of CreateThread() and
ExitThread().  As discussed in c.l.p, this takes care of
initialization and finalization of thread-local storage allocated by
the C runtime system.  Not sure whether non-MS compilers grok this
though (but who cares :-).
