This requires users to protect concurrent access of mutatable Python objects (eg lists) with locks at the Python level (something you should probably do anyway). The advantage is that there is less of a performance hit for non-threaded code, because the VM does not need to constantly release/acquire the GIL. In the future the GIL will be made more efficient. There is also room to improve the efficiency of non-GIL code by not using mutex's if there is only one thread active. 2016-07-02T21:10:58+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2016-07-02T21:10:58+00:00 urn:sha1:e965d2b82af1d233703490ebf2c8432a14ef5c99 2016-07-02T12:26:07+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2016-07-02T12:26:07+00:00 urn:sha1:43241ceaacce2de370a7dd676ac9cc7383e08c83 But disable it for coverage build, as its extra warninsg aren't compatible with K&R C BerkeleyDB uses. 2016-06-28T10:28:48+00:00 Damien George damien.p.george@gmail.com 2016-04-22T22:53:51+00:00 urn:sha1:a791be936a79154a1b1e600e5e75d147396847f6 Has the ability to create new threads. 2016-06-27T21:31:55+00:00 Martin Müller mail@mueller-martin.net 2016-06-25T15:59:49+00:00 urn:sha1:f2892bd77da5f7adbad3d83bb6e0898af224975b The linker flag --gc-sections is not available on the linker used on Mac OS X which results in an error when linking micropython on Mac OS X. Therefore move this option to the LDFLAGS_ARCH variable on non Darwin systems. According to http://stackoverflow.com/a/17710056 the equivalent to --gc-sections is -dead_strip thus this option is used for the LDFLAGS_ARCH on Darwin systems. 2016-06-17T21:58:57+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2016-06-17T21:58:57+00:00 urn:sha1:cbffd0aadd71723365ddd3823ae1c12f4dbacad9 It's enabled mostly for unit testing, and we do that in full with coverage build. 2016-06-17T21:17:47+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2016-06-17T21:17:47+00:00 urn:sha1:9b43a7d1be2cf79b85d36f7f51dd9edd8d39fdda Also try to use -fno-exceptions.
