Kristján Valur Jónsson 02ca57ce4c http://bugs.python.org/issue6836
The debug memory api now keeps track of which external API (PyMem_* or PyObject_*) was used to allocate each block and treats any API violation as an error.  Added separate _PyMem_DebugMalloc functions for the Py_Mem API instead of having it use the _PyObject_DebugMalloc functions.

Christian Heimes fb1813cb8d Changed type of numarenas from uint to size_t to silence a GCC warning on 64bit OSes. Reviewed by Benjamin Peterson. 2008-08-22 19:34:15 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith 0470bab697 Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules.  PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.

Gregory P. Smith 9d53457e59 Merge in release25-maint r60793:
Added checks for integer overflows, contributed by Google. Some are

Tim Peters 3eeb17346c _PyObject_DebugMalloc(): The return value should add
2*sizeof(size_t) now, not 8.  This probably accounts for
current disasters on the 64-bit buildbot slaves.

Tim Peters 9ea89d2a19 In a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build obmalloc adds extra debugging info
to each allocated block.  This was using 4 bytes for each such
piece of info regardless of platform.  This didn't really matter
before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would
have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory
>= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints.  But after
the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to
allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the
PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes
to record the originally requested size).

Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG
build's extra debugging fields.  This won't make any difference
on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in
a debug build on a 64-bit box.

Tim Peters cf79aace07 Merge the tim-obmalloc branch to the trunk.
This is a heavily altered derivative of SF patch 1123430, Evan
Jones's heroic effort to make obmalloc return unused arenas to
the system free(), with some heuristic strategies to make it
more likley that arenas eventually _can_ be freed.

Tim Peters ecc6e6a54e SF bug 1185883: PyObject_Realloc can't safely take over a block currently
managed by C, because it's possible for the block to be smaller than the
new requested size, and at the end of allocated VM.  Trying to copy over
nbytes bytes to a Python small-object block can segfault then, and there's
no portable way to avoid this (we would have to know how many bytes
starting at p are addressable, and std C has no means to determine that).

Bugfix candidate.  Should be backported to 2.4, but I'm out of time.

late in the Python shutdown process.

Tim Peters 8a8cdfd0f5 Small anal correctness tweaks:
_PyObject_DebugMalloc:  explicitly cast PyObject_Malloc's result to the

_PyObject_DebugDumpStats:  change decl of arena_alignment from unsigned

This is for the 2.3 release only (it's new code).
2002-04-12 20:49:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 85cc1c4368 _PyObject_DebugRealloc(): rewritten to let the underlying realloc do
most of the work.  In particular, if the underlying realloc is able to
grow the memory block in place, great (this routine used to do a fresh
malloc + memcpy every time a block grew).  BTW, I'm not so keen here on
avoiding possible quadratic-time realloc patterns as I am on making
the debug pymalloc more invisible (the more it uses memory "just like"
the underlying allocator, the better the chance that a suspected memory
corruption bug won't vanish when the debug malloc is turned on).

Tim Peters 52aefc8a7b SF bug 542181: Realloc behavior
The bug report pointed out a bogosity in the comment block explaining
thread safety for arena management.  Repaired that comment, repaired a
couple others while I was at it, and added an assert.

_PyMalloc_DebugRealloc:  If this needed to get more memory, but couldn't,
it erroneously freed the original memory.  Repaired that.

This is for 2.3 only (unless we decide to backport the new pymalloc).

Tim Peters 16bcb6b1af _PyMalloc_DebugDumpStats(): vastly improved the output, and it now
accounts for every byte.
2002-04-05 05:45:31 +00:00
Tim Peters e70ddf3a99 Widespread, but mostly in _PyMalloc_Malloc: optimize away all expensive
runtime multiplications and divisions, via the scheme developed with
Vladimir Marangozov on Python-Dev.  The pool_header struct loses its
capacity member, but gains nextoffset and maxnextoffset members; this
still leaves it at 32 bytes on a 32-bit box (it has to be padded to a
multiple of 8 bytes).

Tim Peters b7265dbe3e _PyMalloc_Realloc(): removed a now-pointless cast. 2002-04-04 05:08:31 +00:00
Tim Peters 84c1b97467 _PyMalloc_{Malloc, Realloc}: Strive to meet the doc's promises about
what these do given a 0 size argument.  This is so that when pymalloc
is enabled, we don't need to wrap pymalloc calls in goofy little
routines special-casing 0.  Note that it's virtually impossible to meet
the doc's promise that malloc(0) will never return NULL; this makes a
best effort, but not an insane effort.  The code does promise that
realloc(not-NULL, 0) will never return NULL (malloc(0) is much harder).

_PyMalloc_Realloc:  Changed to take over all requests for 0 bytes, and
rearranged to be a little quicker in expected cases.

All over the place:  when resorting to the platform allocator, call
free/malloc/realloc directly, without indirecting thru macros.  This
should avoid needing a nightmarish pile of #ifdef-ery if PYMALLOC_DEBUG
is changed so that pymalloc takes over all Py(Mem, Object} memory
operations (which would add useful debugging info to PyMem_xyz
allocations too).

Tim Peters 338e010b45 Restructured my pool-management overview in terms of the three
possible pool states.  I think it's much clearer now.

Added a new long overdue block-management overview comment block.

I believe the comments are in good shape now.

Added two comments about possible small optimizations (one getting rid
of runtime multiplications at the cost of a new pool_header member; the
other getting rid of runtime divisions and the pool_header capacity
member, at the cost of a static const vector of 32 uints).

Tim Peters 7ccfadf3a8 New PYMALLOC_DEBUG function void _PyMalloc_DebugDumpStats(void).
This displays stats about the # of arenas, pools, blocks and bytes, to
stderr, both used and reserved but unused.

CAUTION:  Because PYMALLOC_DEBUG is on, the debug malloc routine adds
16 bytes to each request.  This makes each block appear two size classes
higher than it would be if PYMALLOC_DEBUG weren't on.

So far, playing with this confirms the obvious:  there's a lot of activity
in the "small dict" size class, but nothing in the core makes any use of
the 8-byte or 16-byte classes.
