Common Sources Of Global Interpreter Lock Errors
==================================================================
Failing to properly hold the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is one of the
more common sources of bugs within code that uses pybind11. If you are
running into GIL related errors, we highly recommend you consult the
following checklist.
- Do you have any global variables that are pybind11 objects or invoke
pybind11 functions in either their constructor or destructor? You are generally
not allowed to invoke any Python function in a global static context. We recommend
using lazy initialization and then intentionally leaking at the end of the program.
- Do you have any pybind11 objects that are members of other C++ structures? One
commonly overlooked requirement is that pybind11 objects have to increase their reference count
whenever their copy constructor is called. Thus, you need to be holding the GIL to invoke
the copy constructor of any C++ class that has a pybind11 member. This can sometimes be very
tricky to track for complicated programs Think carefully when you make a pybind11 object
a member in another struct.
- C++ destructors that invoke Python functions can be particularly troublesome as
destructors can sometimes get invoked in weird and unexpected circumstances as a result
of exceptions.
- You should try running your code in a debug build. That will enable additional assertions
within pybind11 that will throw exceptions on certain GIL handling errors
(reference counting operations).
Binding sequence data types, iterators, the slicing protocol, etc.
