The multiprocessing.resource_tracker replaces the multiprocessing.semaphore_tracker module. Other than semaphores, resource_tracker also tracks shared_memory segments. Patch by Pierre Glaser.
* bpo-31308: If multiprocessing's forkserver dies, launch it again when necessary.
* Fix test on Windows
* Add NEWS entry
* Adopt a different approach: ignore SIGINT and SIGTERM, as in semaphore tracker.
* Fix comment
* Make sure the test doesn't muck with process state
* Also test previously-started processes
* Update 2017-08-30-17-59-36.bpo-31308.KbexyC.rst
* Avoid masking SIGTERM in forkserver. It's not necessary and causes a race condition in test_many_processes.
* Make error message more informative
Replace assertions in error-reporting code with more-informative version that doesn't cause confusion over where and what the error is.
* Additional clarification + get travis to check
* Change from SystemError to TypeError
As suggested in PR comment by @pitrou, changing from SystemError; TypeError appears appropriate.
* NEWS file installation; ACKS addition (will do my best to justify it by additional work)
* Making current AssertionErrors in multiprocessing more informative
* Blurb added re multiprocessing managers.py, queues.py cleanup
* Further multiprocessing cleanup - went through pool.py
* Fix two asserts in multiprocessing/util.py
* Most asserts in multiprocessing more informative
* Didn't save right version
* Further work on multiprocessing error messages
* Correct typo
* Correct typo v2
* Blasted colon... serves me right for trying to work on two things at once
* Simplify NEWS entry
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
OK, never mind.
* Corrected (thanks to pitrou) error messages for notify
* Remove extraneous backslash in docstring.
* bpo-26732: fix too many fds in processes started with the "forkserver" method
A child process would inherit as many fds as the number of still-running children.
* Add blurb and test comment
* Fix bpo-30596: Add close() method to multiprocessing.Process
* Raise ValueError if close() is called before the Process is finished running
* Add docs
* Add NEWS blurb
* Fix race condition in signal wakeup in forkserver (followup to PR #1989)
There's an admittedly well-known race condition where ECHILD can arrive
just before the C function epoll_wait() and the latter wouldn't therefore
return EINTR. The solution is to use set_wakeup_fd(), which was designed
to avoid such race conditions.
* Reset wakeup fd in child
* bpo-16500: Allow registering at-fork handlers
* Address Serhiy's comments
* Add doc for new C API
* Add doc for new Python-facing function
* Add NEWS entry + doc nit
* multiprocessing: open file with closefd=False to avoid ResourceWarning
* _test_multiprocessing: open file with O_EXCL to detect bugs in tests (if a
previous test forgot to remove TESTFN)
* test_sys_exit(): remove TESTFN after each loop iteration
