45 /* Protection against deeply nested recursive calls
47 In Python 3.0, this protection has two levels:
48 * normal anti-recursion protection is triggered when the recursion level
49 exceeds the current recursion limit. It raises a RuntimeError, and sets
50 the "overflowed" flag in the thread state structure. This flag
51 temporarily *disables* the normal protection; this allows cleanup code
52 to potentially outgrow the recursion limit while processing the
53 RuntimeError.
54 * "last chance" anti-recursion protection is triggered when the recursion
55 level exceeds "current recursion limit + 50". By construction, this
56 protection can only be triggered when the "overflowed" flag is set. It
57 means the cleanup code has itself gone into an infinite loop, or the
58 RuntimeError has been mistakingly ignored. When this protection is
59 triggered, the interpreter aborts with a Fatal Error.
61 In addition, the "overflowed" flag is automatically reset when the
62 recursion level drops below "current recursion limit - 50". This heuristic
63 is meant to ensure that the normal anti-recursion protection doesn't get
64 disabled too long.
66 Please note: this scheme has its own limitations. See:
67 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-August/082106.html
68 for some observations.

119 /* Interface for threads.
121 A module that plans to do a blocking system call (or something else
122 that lasts a long time and doesn't touch Python data) can allow other
123 threads to run as follows:
125 ...preparations here...
126 Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
127 ...blocking system call here...
128 Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
129 ...interpret result here...
131 The Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS pair expands to a
132 {}-surrounded block.
133 To leave the block in the middle (e.g., with return), you must insert
134 a line containing Py_BLOCK_THREADS before the return, e.g.
136 if (...premature_exit...) {
137 Py_BLOCK_THREADS
138 PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
139 return NULL;
142 An alternative is:
144 Py_BLOCK_THREADS
145 if (...premature_exit...) {
146 PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
147 return NULL;
149 Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS
151 For convenience, that the value of 'errno' is restored across
152 Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_BLOCK_THREADS.
154 WARNING: NEVER NEST CALLS TO Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS AND
155 Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS!!!
157 The function PyEval_InitThreads() should be called only from
158 init_thread() in "_threadmodule.c".
160 Note that not yet all candidates have been converted to use this
161 mechanism!
