castingimpls
with a critical section when thecastingimpls
cache is empty before writing to the dict.Because the critical section macros have braces, I refactored
PyArray_GetCastingImpl
into three functions that call each other. Only the "middle" function needs the critical section, so that reduces the pain of not being able to early return in a critical section a little bit.I also added some comments because this took me quite a while to fully understand so future readers will hopefully be less confused.
Edit: there are also some unrelated fixes for the test infrastructure to avoid CI crashes and generate better debug output from CI jobs. Happy to do those separately if anyone requests.
