"""
Implementation of the standard :mod:`threading` using greenlets.
.. note::
This module is a helper for :mod:`gevent.monkey` and is not
intended to be used directly. For spawning greenlets in your
applications, prefer higher level constructs like
:class:`gevent.Greenlet` class or :func:`gevent.spawn`. Attributes
in this module like ``__threading__`` are implementation artifacts subject
to change at any time.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2.3
Defer adjusting the stdlib's list of active threads until we are
monkey patched. Previously this was done at import time. We are
documented to only be used as a helper for monkey patching, so this should
functionally be the same, but some applications ignore the documentation and
directly import this module anyway.
A positive consequence is that ``import gevent.threading,
threading; threading.current_thread()`` will no longer return a DummyThread
before monkey-patching.

# We avoid calling the superclass constructor. This makes us about
# twice as fast (1.16 vs 0.68usec on PyPy, 29.3 vs 17.7usec on
# CPython 2.7), and has the important effect of avoiding
# allocation and then immediate deletion of _Thread__block, a
# lock. This is especially important on PyPy where locks go
# through the cpyext API and Cython, which is known to be slow and
# potentially buggy (e.g.,
# https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2149/memory-leak-for-python-subclass-of-cpyext#comment-22347393)
# These objects are constructed quite frequently in some cases, so
# the optimization matters: for example, in gunicorn, which uses
# pywsgi.WSGIServer, most every request is handled in a new greenlet,
# and every request uses a logging.Logger to write the access log,
# and every call to a log method captures the current thread (by
# default).
#
# (Obviously we have to duplicate the effects of the constructor,
# at least for external state purposes, which is potentially
# slightly fragile.)
# For the same reason, instances of this class will cleanup their own entry
# in ``threading._active``
# This class also solves a problem forking process with subprocess: after forking,
# Thread.__stop is called, which throws an exception when __block doesn't
# exist.
# Capture the static things as class vars to save on memory/
# construction time.
