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).
PyMem_{Del, DEL} doesn't work yet (compilation problems).
pyport.h: _PyMem_EXTRA is gone.
pmem.h: Repaired comments. PyMem_{Malloc, MALLOC} and
PyMem_{Realloc, REALLOC} now make the same x-platform guarantees when
asking for 0 bytes, and when passing a NULL pointer to the latter.
object.c: PyMem_{Malloc, Realloc} just call their macro versions
now, since the latter take care of the x-platform 0 and NULL stuff
by themselves now.
pypcre.c, grow_stack(): So sue me. On two lines, this called
PyMem_RESIZE to grow a "const" area. It's not legit to realloc a
const area, so the compiler warned given the new expansion of
PyMem_RESIZE. It would have gotten the same warning before if it
had used PyMem_Resize() instead; the older macro version, but not the
function version, silently cast away the constness. IMO that was a wrong
thing to do, and the docs say the macro versions of PyMem_xyz are
deprecated anyway. If somebody else is resizing const areas with the
macro spelling, they'll get a warning when they recompile now too.

not-GPL-compatible to GPL-compatible, with a footnote explaining that
RMS disagrees. I'm not going to discuss this further -- both sides
(CNRI and RMS) will argue their POV till they're blue in the face.
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).
non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies. Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs). Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.
Updated test cases. Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
