/* BEWARE:
Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules
should normally use the functions for ensuring binary compatibility
of the user's code across Python versions. Subsequently, if the
Python runtime switches to its own malloc (different from standard
malloc), no recompilation is required for the extensions.
The macro versions trade compatibility for speed. They can be used
whenever there is a performance problem, but their use implies
recompilation of the code for each new Python release. The Python
core uses the macros because it *is* compiled on every upgrade.
This might not be the case with 3rd party extensions in a custom
setup (for example, a customer does not always have access to the
source of 3rd party deliverables). You have been warned! */

/* SCENARIOS
Here are two scenarios by Vladimir Marangozov (the author of the
memory allocation redesign).
1) Scenario A
Suppose you want to use a debugging malloc library that collects info on
where the malloc calls originate from. Assume the interface is:
d_malloc(size_t n, char* src_file, unsigned long src_line) c.s.
In this case, you would define (for example in config.h) :
#define PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC d_malloc
...
#define PyCore_MALLOC_PROTO Py_PROTO((size_t, char *, unsigned long))
...
#define NEED_TO_DECLARE_MALLOC_AND_FRIEND
#define PyCore_MALLOC(n) PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC((n), __FILE__, __LINE__)
...
2) Scenario B
Suppose you want to use malloc hooks (defined & initialized in a 3rd party
malloc library) instead of malloc functions. In this case, you would
define:
#define PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC (*malloc_hook)
...
#define NEED_TO_DECLARE_MALLOC_AND_FRIEND
and ignore the previous definitions about PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC, etc.
