Guido van Rossum 582acece2e Trent Mick's Win64 changes: size_t vs. int or long; also some overflow
tests.

Guido van Rossum ede8c6eea1 Bill Tutt:
Calling Sleep(0) for a spinlock can cause a priority inversion, adding
comments to explain what's going on.

Guido van Rossum 4cea605e75 Quick fix by Mark Hammond -- Yakov changed a dprintf call but it was
referencing an undefined variable, so we better change it back.

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 bffd683f73 The rest of the changes by Trent Mick and Dale Nagata for warning-free
compilation on NT Alpha.  Mostly added casts etc.

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 :-).
