[Python-Dev] _PyThreadState_Current (original) (raw)

Since it's a regression introduced in Python 3.5.1, I propose to introduce a new private function _PyThreadState_FastGet() to reintroduce the feature: https://bugs.python.org/issue26154

Using afunction instead of using directly the variable hides how atomic variables are implemented and so avoid compiler issues.

Hi

change in between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 (hiding PyThreadStateCurrent and pyatomic.h) broke vmprof. The problem is that as a profile, vmprof can really encounter PyThreadStateCurrent being null, while crashing an interpreter is a bit not ideal in this case. Any chance, a) PyThreadStateCurrent can be restored in visibility? b) can I get a better API to get it in case it can be NULL, but also in 3.5 (since it works in 3.5.0 and breaks in 3.5.1) Cheers, fijal
