Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +00009/* Object and type object interface */
10
11/*
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +000012Objects are structures allocated on the heap. Special rules apply to
13the use of objects to ensure they are properly garbage-collected.
14Objects are never allocated statically or on the stack; they must be
15accessed through special macros and functions only. (Type objects are
16exceptions to the first rule; the standard types are represented by
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +000017statically initialized type objects, although work on type/class unification
18for Python 2.2 made it possible to have heap-allocated type objects too).
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +000019
20An object has a 'reference count' that is increased or decreased when a
21pointer to the object is copied or deleted; when the reference count
22reaches zero there are no references to the object left and it can be
23removed from the heap.
24
25An object has a 'type' that determines what it represents and what kind
26of data it contains. An object's type is fixed when it is created.
27Types themselves are represented as objects; an object contains a
28pointer to the corresponding type object. The type itself has a type
29pointer pointing to the object representing the type 'type', which
Jimmy Yangac2cfe62020-04-08 02:28:59 -070030contains a pointer to itself!.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +000031
32Objects do not float around in memory; once allocated an object keeps
33the same size and address. Objects that must hold variable-size data
34can contain pointers to variable-size parts of the object. Not all
35objects of the same type have the same size; but the size cannot change
36after allocation. (These restrictions are made so a reference to an
37object can be simply a pointer -- moving an object would require
38updating all the pointers, and changing an object's size would require
39moving it if there was another object right next to it.)
40
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +000041Objects are always accessed through pointers of the type 'PyObject *'.
42The type 'PyObject' is a structure that only contains the reference count
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +000043and the type pointer. The actual memory allocated for an object
44contains other data that can only be accessed after casting the pointer
45to a pointer to a longer structure type. This longer type must start
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +000046with the reference count and type fields; the macro PyObject_HEAD should be
Thomas Wouters7e474022000-07-16 12:04:32 +000047used for this (to accommodate for future changes). The implementation
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +000048of a particular object type can cast the object pointer to the proper
49type and back.
50
51A standard interface exists for objects that contain an array of items
52whose size is determined when the object is allocated.

Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000404reference counts. Py_DECREF calls the object's deallocator function when
405the refcount falls to 0; for
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000406objects that don't contain references to other objects or heap memory
407this can be the standard function free(). Both macros can be used
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000408wherever a void expression is allowed. The argument must not be a
Benjamin Peterson2a691a82008-03-31 01:51:45 +0000409NULL pointer. If it may be NULL, use Py_XINCREF/Py_XDECREF instead.
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000410The macro _Py_NewReference(op) initialize reference counts to 1, and
411in special builds (Py_REF_DEBUG, Py_TRACE_REFS) performs additional
412bookkeeping appropriate to the special build.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000413
414We assume that the reference count field can never overflow; this can
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000415be proven when the size of the field is the same as the pointer size, so
416we ignore the possibility. Provided a C int is at least 32 bits (which
417is implicitly assumed in many parts of this code), that's enough for
418about 2**31 references to an object.

Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000423Type objects should never be deallocated; the type pointer in an object
424is not considered to be a reference to the type object, to save
425complications in the deallocation function. (This is actually a
426decision that's up to the implementer of each new type so if you want,
427you can count such references to the type object.)

Berker Peksag4882cac2015-04-14 09:30:01 +0300501 * and tp_dealloc implementations.
Thomas Wouters49fd7fa2006-04-21 10:40:58 +0000502 *
503 * Note that "the obvious" code can be deadly:
504 *
505 * Py_XDECREF(op);
506 * op = NULL;
507 *
508 * Typically, `op` is something like self->containee, and `self` is done
509 * using its `containee` member. In the code sequence above, suppose
510 * `containee` is non-NULL with a refcount of 1. Its refcount falls to
511 * 0 on the first line, which can trigger an arbitrary amount of code,
512 * possibly including finalizers (like __del__ methods or weakref callbacks)
513 * coded in Python, which in turn can release the GIL and allow other threads
514 * to run, etc. Such code may even invoke methods of `self` again, or cause
515 * cyclic gc to trigger, but-- oops! --self->containee still points to the
516 * object being torn down, and it may be in an insane state while being torn
517 * down. This has in fact been a rich historic source of miserable (rare &
518 * hard-to-diagnose) segfaulting (and other) bugs.
519 *
520 * The safe way is:
521 *
522 * Py_CLEAR(op);
523 *
524 * That arranges to set `op` to NULL _before_ decref'ing, so that any code
525 * triggered as a side-effect of `op` getting torn down no longer believes
526 * `op` points to a valid object.
527 *
528 * There are cases where it's safe to use the naive code, but they're brittle.
529 * For example, if `op` points to a Python integer, you know that destroying
530 * one of those can't cause problems -- but in part that relies on that
531 * Python integers aren't currently weakly referencable. Best practice is
532 * to use Py_CLEAR() even if you can't think of a reason for why you need to.

651/*
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000652More conventions
653================
654
655Argument Checking
656-----------------
657
658Functions that take objects as arguments normally don't check for nil
659arguments, but they do check the type of the argument, and return an
660error if the function doesn't apply to the type.
661
662Failure Modes
663-------------
664
665Functions may fail for a variety of reasons, including running out of
Guido van Rossum3f5da241990-12-20 15:06:42 +0000666memory. This is communicated to the caller in two ways: an error string
667is set (see errors.h), and the function result differs: functions that
668normally return a pointer return NULL for failure, functions returning
669an integer return -1 (which could be a legal return value too!), and
670other functions return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000671Callers should always check for errors before using the result. If
672an error was set, the caller must either explicitly clear it, or pass
673the error on to its caller.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000674
675Reference Counts
676----------------
677
678It takes a while to get used to the proper usage of reference counts.
679
680Functions that create an object set the reference count to 1; such new
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000681objects must be stored somewhere or destroyed again with Py_DECREF().
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000682Some functions that 'store' objects, such as PyTuple_SetItem() and
683PyList_SetItem(),
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000684don't increment the reference count of the object, since the most
685frequent use is to store a fresh object. Functions that 'retrieve'
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000686objects, such as PyTuple_GetItem() and PyDict_GetItemString(), also
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000687don't increment
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000688the reference count, since most frequently the object is only looked at
689quickly. Thus, to retrieve an object and store it again, the caller
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000690must call Py_INCREF() explicitly.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000691
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000692NOTE: functions that 'consume' a reference count, like
693PyList_SetItem(), consume the reference even if the object wasn't
694successfully stored, to simplify error handling.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000695
696It seems attractive to make other functions that take an object as
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000697argument consume a reference count; however, this may quickly get
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000698confusing (even the current practice is already confusing). Consider
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000699it carefully, it may save lots of calls to Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() at
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000700times.
