Irmen de Jong added the comment: I created the patch about 5 years ago and in the meantime a few things have happened: - I've not touched C for a very long time now - I've learned that MSG_WAITALL may be unreliable on certain systems, so any implementation of recvall depending on MSG_WAITALL may inexplicably fail on such systems - I've been using a python implementation of a custom recv loop in Pyro4 for years - it is unclear that a C implementation will provide a measurable performance benefit because I think most of the time is spent in the network I/O anyway, and the GIL is released when doing a normal recv (I hope?)
In other words, I will never follow up on my original C-based patch from 5 years ago. I do still like the idea of having a reliable recvall in the stdlib instead of having to code a page long one in my own code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1103213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
