* gh-108987: Fix _thread.start_new_thread() race condition (#109135) Fix _thread.start_new_thread() race condition. If a thread is created during Python finalization, the newly spawned thread now exits immediately instead of trying to access freed memory and lead to a crash. thread_run() calls PyEval_AcquireThread() which checks if the thread must exit. The problem was that tstate was dereferenced earlier in _PyThreadState_Bind() which leads to a crash most of the time. Move _PyThreadState_CheckConsistency() from thread_run() to _PyThreadState_Bind(). (cherry picked from commit517cd82ea7) * gh-109795: `_thread.start_new_thread`: allocate thread bootstate using raw memory allocator (#109808) (cherry picked from commit1b8f2366b3) --------- Co-authored-by: Radislav Chugunov <52372310+chgnrdv@users.noreply.github.com>
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
