/* 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 pyconfig.h) :
|
|
|
|
#define PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC d_malloc
|
|
...
|
|
#define PyCore_MALLOC_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.
