The function rand_r() is from POSIX.1-2001. POSIX.1-2008 marks rand_r() as obsolete.
WTF. Why rand_r is obsolete? What should be used in multithread applications instead?

These functions are declared obsolete by SVID 3, which states that rand(3) should be used instead.

Every rand is obsolete. It's like they don't like randomized algorithms

I cannot figure it out.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/rand_r.html says:
Issue 7

Austin Group Interpretation 1003.1-2001 #156 is applied.

The rand_r() function is marked obsolescent.

And if I read https://www.opengroup.org/austin/interps/uploads/40/14559/AI-156.txt I'm guessing that's not why it was removed?

Python isn't exactly ideal for multi-threading applications.

the GIL is FUD propagated by just about every other language fanboy in an attempt to undermine python

Processes, right? How Pythonic! Sheer elegance! Let's eat some whitespaces and crippled lambdas while our stacks overflow in a tail recurring joy.

you're just mad that iteration can do everything tail recursion can do

Multi-processing is not multi-threading, I'm quite confused as to why I have to make that distinction as it should be clear per definition.

Lol, so random.
