Breaking
========
The parallel with and prange blocks support break, continue and return in
nogil mode. Additionally, it is valid to use a with gil block inside these
blocks, and have exceptions propagate from them.
However, because the blocks use OpenMP, they can not just be left, so the
exiting procedure is best-effort. For prange() this means that the loop
body is skipped after the first break, return or exception for any subsequent
iteration in any thread. It is undefined which value shall be returned if
multiple different values may be returned, as the iterations are in no
particular order::
from cython.parallel import prange
def func(Py_ssize_t n):
cdef Py_ssize_t i
for i in prange(n, nogil=True):
if i == 8:
with gil:
raise Exception()
elif i == 4:
break
elif i == 2:
return i
In the example above it is undefined whether an exception shall be raised,
whether it will simply break or whether it will return 2.
