gh-142518: add thread safety docs for set C-APIs (#146562)
10 апр 2026, 22:33
10 апр 2026, 22:33dd88e77
# Thread safety annotations for C API functions.
#
# Each line has the form:
#   function_name : level
#
# Where level is one of:
#   incompatible -- not safe even with external locking
#   compatible   -- safe if the caller serializes all access with external locks
#   distinct     -- safe on distinct objects without external synchronization
#   shared       -- safe for concurrent use on the same object
#   atomic       -- atomic
#
# Lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
# The function name must match the C domain identifier used in the documentation.
