mpage cb6f75a32c gh-117657: Fix data races when writing / reading `ob_gc_bits` (#118292 ) Use relaxed atomics when reading / writing to the field. There are still a few places in the GC where we do not use atomics. Those should be safe as the world is stopped.		2024-05-08 16:03:39 -04:00

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
