Subject: bpo-41710: gc_collect_main() uses _PyTime_GetPerfCounter() (GH-28676)
X-Git-Tag: v3.11.0a1~25
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54957f16a63ecb6b15f77b01fa7c55ada892604a;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

bpo-41710: gc_collect_main() uses _PyTime_GetPerfCounter() (GH-28676)

If the DEBUG_STATS debug flag is set, gc_collect_main() now uses
_PyTime_GetPerfCounter() instead of _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() to
measure the elapsed time.

On Windows, _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() only has a resolution of 15.6
ms, whereas _PyTime_GetPerfCounter() is closer to a resolution of 100
ns.
