/* BEWARE:
Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules should
use the functions, to ensure binary compatibility across Python versions.
Because the Python implementation is free to change internal details, and
the macros may (or may not) expose details for speed, if you do use the
macros you must recompile your extensions with each Python release.
Never mix calls to PyObject_ memory functions with calls to the platform
malloc/realloc/ calloc/free, or with calls to PyMem_.

/*
Functions and macros for modules that implement new object types.
- PyObject_New(type, typeobj) allocates memory for a new object of the given
type, and initializes part of it. 'type' must be the C structure type used
to represent the object, and 'typeobj' the address of the corresponding
type object. Reference count and type pointer are filled in; the rest of
the bytes of the object are *undefined*! The resulting expression type is
'type *'. The size of the object is determined by the tp_basicsize field
of the type object.
- PyObject_NewVar(type, typeobj, n) is similar but allocates a variable-size
object with room for n items. In addition to the refcount and type pointer
fields, this also fills in the ob_size field.
- PyObject_Del(op) releases the memory allocated for an object. It does not
run a destructor -- it only frees the memory. PyObject_Free is identical.
- PyObject_Init(op, typeobj) and PyObject_InitVar(op, typeobj, n) don't
allocate memory. Instead of a 'type' parameter, they take a pointer to a
new object (allocated by an arbitrary allocator), and initialize its object
header fields.
Note that objects created with PyObject_{New, NewVar} are allocated using the
specialized Python allocator (implemented in obmalloc.c), if WITH_PYMALLOC is
enabled. In addition, a special debugging allocator is used if PYMALLOC_DEBUG
is also #defined.
In case a specific form of memory management is needed (for example, if you
must use the platform malloc heap(s), or shared memory, or C++ local storage or
operator new), you must first allocate the object with your custom allocator,
then pass its pointer to PyObject_{Init, InitVar} for filling in its Python-
specific fields: reference count, type pointer, possibly others. You should
be aware that Python has no control over these objects because they don't
cooperate with the Python memory manager. Such objects may not be eligible
for automatic garbage collection and you have to make sure that they are
released accordingly whenever their destructor gets called (cf. the specific
form of memory management you're using).
Unless you have specific memory management requirements, use
PyObject_{New, NewVar, Del}.

/*
* Raw object memory interface
* ===========================
*/
/* Functions to call the same malloc/realloc/free as used by Python's
object allocator. If WITH_PYMALLOC is enabled, these may differ from
the platform malloc/realloc/free. The Python object allocator is
designed for fast, cache-conscious allocation of many "small" objects,
and with low hidden memory overhead.
PyObject_Malloc(0) returns a unique non-NULL pointer if possible.
PyObject_Realloc(NULL, n) acts like PyObject_Malloc(n).
PyObject_Realloc(p != NULL, 0) does not return NULL, or free the memory
at p.
Returned pointers must be checked for NULL explicitly; no action is
performed on failure other than to return NULL (no warning it printed, no
exception is set, etc).
For allocating objects, use PyObject_{New, NewVar} instead whenever
possible. The PyObject_{Malloc, Realloc, Free} family is exposed
so that you can exploit Python's small-block allocator for non-object
uses. If you must use these routines to allocate object memory, make sure
the object gets initialized via PyObject_{Init, InitVar} after obtaining
the raw memory.
