_Py_atomic_* are currently not implemented as atomic operations
when building with MSVC. This patch attempts to implement parts
of the functionality required.
* Improve signal delivery
Avoid using Py_AddPendingCall from signal handler, to avoid calling signal-unsafe functions.
* Remove unused function
* Improve comments
* Use _Py_atomic API for concurrency-sensitive signal state
* Add blurb
* Improve signal delivery
Avoid using Py_AddPendingCall from signal handler, to avoid calling signal-unsafe functions.
* Remove unused function
* Improve comments
* Add stress test
* Adapt for --without-threads
* Add second stress test
* Add NEWS blurb
* Address comments @haypo
* bpo-30765: Avoid blocking when PyThread_acquire_lock() is asked not to lock
This is especially important if PyThread_acquire_lock() is called reentrantly
(for example from a signal handler).
* Update 2017-06-26-14-29-50.bpo-30765.Q5iBmf.rst
* Avoid core logic when taking the mutex failed
Add "Misc/NEWS.d" directory tree for "blurb".
CPython workflow is changing! We're going to start using "blurb"
to manage Misc/NEWS entries:
https://github.com/python/core-workflow
(This will be a big win for release managers, honest.)
This checkin simply populates the "Misc/NEWS.d" subdirectory tree
so that people can start putting their news entries in there.
No other changes (yet).
