Message 113301 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Questions:

• why does _cond_timed_wait() decrement n_waiting twice?

• why does _cond_timed_wait() use InterlockedDecrement()? it doesn't protect against regular accesses to the same memory location, since it isn't guarded by the mutex

• why don't you simply pass NULL as the third parameter to ReleaseSemaphore() in _cond_signal()?

• I don't understand what you call "possible race condition" in _cond_signal(). _cond_signal() is currently always called with the corresponding mutex held, by the way. We could add a comment to make it mandatory.
