[issue3582] thread_nt.c update
Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment: Windows NT (3.1, and a number of later versions) only support 64 TLS keys. Starting with Windows 2000, they added another page per thread for TLS, giving an addition 1024 TLS slots, for a total of 1088 TLS slots. FWIW, Win 9.x supported 80 TLS slots. See http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=181 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686749.aspx http://bugs.python.org/file11141/thread_nt.patch TLS slots are typically considered a scarce resource, so that programming language implementations typically don't allow applications direct allocation of TLS slots. Instead, most runtimes I know of will allocate a single TLS slot for themselves, which then is filled with an array or a dictionary. -- nosy: +loewis ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue3582 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue3582] thread_nt.c update
Ulrich Eckhardt eckha...@satorlaser.com added the comment: I do have an issue with the patch's startup code. The prototype for the thread entry should be DWORD WINAPI function(PVOID);. The important distinction is the WINAPI part, which resolves to __stdcall but doesn't have to. I know that some CE targets actually #define __cdecl __stdcall or vice versa, but using WINAPI always works. I'd then also change the comment to ...to adapt between our function signature and the one used by _createthreadex, as the internally used one doesn't mention __cdecl. ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue3582 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue3582] thread_nt.c update
New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Here is a suggested update to thread_nt.c. It has two significant changes: 1) it uses the new and safer _beginthreadex API to start a thread 2) it implements native TLS functions on NT, which are certain to be as fast as possible. -- files: thread_nt.patch keywords: patch, patch messages: 71289 nosy: krisvale severity: normal status: open title: thread_nt.c update type: feature request versions: Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11141/thread_nt.patch ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3582 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
