mattip: ok fine, again 3.8 or is 3.9 no longer alpha?
<mattip>
3.8rc1 is "final", 3.9rc1 is "beta"
<ctismer>
mattip: thanks.
<cfbolz>
mattip: yeah, I’ve given up for now on the deadlock after a week of staring
<mattip>
did you get anywhere figuring out what is happening (even without solving it)?
<cfbolz>
There are several different failure modes that I see
<cfbolz>
Sometimes a forked process doesn’t even start communicating
<cfbolz>
And sometimes the result of one of the tasks gets lost
<cfbolz>
But nothing really felt like a pypy bug
<mattip>
hmm. I guess I didn;t really check that after the fixes to test_threading the compileall hang still happens
<mattip>
fixes to _posixsubprocess that is
<cfbolz>
I maintain that they are unrelated
<mattip>
yeah, 99% likely
<cfbolz>
mattip: anyway it’s very cool that we have posixsubprocess
<cfbolz>
In other news , I fixed another roadblock the new dictionary update optimisation, I need to check whether that’s enough to fix the 3.9 problems

mattip: cfbolz: But in the latest alpha that crashes our build.
