New submission from Tim Peters: As discussed in issue 18808, now that we're checking for a tstate lock, the Thread._stopped Event has become an "attractive nuisance". The attached patch removes it.
This simplifies .join() and .is_alive(), and restores pre-18808 .join(timeout) endcase behavior (i.e., if join returns before the timeout expires, .is_alive() will always be False). Since this doesn't add any new locks, I hope it won't create more problems with fork tests - but running on Windows I wouldn't know ;-) ---------- assignee: tim.peters components: Library (Lib) files: remove_stopped keywords: needs review, patch messages: 197325 nosy: pitrou, tim.peters priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Remove .stopped Event from Thread internals versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31690/remove_stopped _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18984> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
