You may still need to use the lock even for the simple unbounded case though - incrementing hits and misses isn't atomic, so the statistics may be miscounted if you get a hit or miss in different threads at the same time. Alternatively, we could just document the hit/miss statistics as approximate figures for tuning purposes rather than guaranteeing 100% accuracy in all situations. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10593> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
