- gcc + OpenMP on linux still breaks multiprocessing. There's a patch to fix this but they still haven't applied it; alternatively there's a workaround you can use in multiprocessing (not using fork mode), but this requires every user update their code and the workaround has other limitations. We're unlikely to use OpenMP while this is the case.
Any idea when is this going to be released?
Which? The gcc patch? I spent 2 full release cycles nagging them and they still can't be bothered to make a decision either way, so :-(. If anyone has some ideas for how to get traction in gcc-land then I'm happy to pass on details...
:( Have you tried asking Python-dev for help with this? Hopefully they would have some weight there.
