[issue4188] Lib/threading.py causes infinite recursion when running as verbose

R. David Murray added the comment: I can confirm that the patch fixes the recursion problem if threading._VERBOSE is set to true, but the test Antoine mentioned hangs when the test suite is run. _VERBOSE is an internal, undocumented facility, so perhaps the priority on this isn't really "high

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: The patch looks ok. A more robust solution would be to modify _note() so that it never creates a DummyThread, and instead uses the raw thread id if the current thread doesn't have a corresponding Thread object. -- nosy: +gps, pitrou stage: unit test n

Mark Lawrence added the comment: Could someone with knowledge of threading provide a unit test for this, assuming that you want or need to force threading into infinite recursion. Then we can test a patch that only moves two lines. -- nosy: +BreamoreBoy _

[issue4188] Lib/threading.py causes infinite recursion when running as verbose

New submission from Guilherme Polo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Lib/threading.py gets into infinite recursion while testing (or using) it with verbose set. This didn't happen before because Thread.__started didn't use to be an Event, but now it is. Typical situation: _DummyThread calls _Thread__started.
