Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +00009/* Object and type object interface */

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 +0000417reference counts. Py_DECREF calls the object's deallocator function when
418the refcount falls to 0; for
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000419objects that don't contain references to other objects or heap memory
420this can be the standard function free(). Both macros can be used
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000421wherever a void expression is allowed. The argument must not be a
Benjamin Peterson2a691a82008-03-31 01:51:45 +0000422NULL pointer. If it may be NULL, use Py_XINCREF/Py_XDECREF instead.
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000423The macro _Py_NewReference(op) initialize reference counts to 1, and
424in special builds (Py_REF_DEBUG, Py_TRACE_REFS) performs additional
425bookkeeping appropriate to the special build.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000426
427We assume that the reference count field can never overflow; this can
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000428be proven when the size of the field is the same as the pointer size, so
429we ignore the possibility. Provided a C int is at least 32 bits (which
430is implicitly assumed in many parts of this code), that's enough for
431about 2**31 references to an object.

Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000436Type objects should never be deallocated; the type pointer in an object
437is not considered to be a reference to the type object, to save
438complications in the deallocation function. (This is actually a
439decision that's up to the implementer of each new type so if you want,
440you can count such references to the type object.)

516 * Note that "the obvious" code can be deadly:
517 *
518 * Py_XDECREF(op);
519 * op = NULL;
520 *
521 * Typically, `op` is something like self->containee, and `self` is done
522 * using its `containee` member. In the code sequence above, suppose
523 * `containee` is non-NULL with a refcount of 1. Its refcount falls to
524 * 0 on the first line, which can trigger an arbitrary amount of code,
525 * possibly including finalizers (like __del__ methods or weakref callbacks)
526 * coded in Python, which in turn can release the GIL and allow other threads
527 * to run, etc. Such code may even invoke methods of `self` again, or cause
528 * cyclic gc to trigger, but-- oops! --self->containee still points to the
529 * object being torn down, and it may be in an insane state while being torn
530 * down. This has in fact been a rich historic source of miserable (rare &
531 * hard-to-diagnose) segfaulting (and other) bugs.
532 *
533 * The safe way is:
534 *
535 * Py_CLEAR(op);
536 *
537 * That arranges to set `op` to NULL _before_ decref'ing, so that any code
538 * triggered as a side-effect of `op` getting torn down no longer believes
539 * `op` points to a valid object.
540 *
541 * There are cases where it's safe to use the naive code, but they're brittle.
542 * For example, if `op` points to a Python integer, you know that destroying
543 * one of those can't cause problems -- but in part that relies on that
544 * Python integers aren't currently weakly referencable. Best practice is
545 * to use Py_CLEAR() even if you can't think of a reason for why you need to.

664/*
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000665More conventions
666================
667
668Argument Checking
669-----------------
670
671Functions that take objects as arguments normally don't check for nil
672arguments, but they do check the type of the argument, and return an
673error if the function doesn't apply to the type.
674
675Failure Modes
676-------------
677
678Functions may fail for a variety of reasons, including running out of
Guido van Rossum3f5da241990-12-20 15:06:42 +0000679memory. This is communicated to the caller in two ways: an error string
680is set (see errors.h), and the function result differs: functions that
681normally return a pointer return NULL for failure, functions returning
682an integer return -1 (which could be a legal return value too!), and
683other functions return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
Tim Peters4be93d02002-07-07 19:59:50 +0000684Callers should always check for errors before using the result. If
685an error was set, the caller must either explicitly clear it, or pass
686the error on to its caller.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000687
688Reference Counts
689----------------
690
691It takes a while to get used to the proper usage of reference counts.
692
693Functions that create an object set the reference count to 1; such new
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000694objects must be stored somewhere or destroyed again with Py_DECREF().
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000695Some functions that 'store' objects, such as PyTuple_SetItem() and
696PyList_SetItem(),
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000697don't increment the reference count of the object, since the most
698frequent use is to store a fresh object. Functions that 'retrieve'
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000699objects, such as PyTuple_GetItem() and PyDict_GetItemString(), also
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000700don't increment
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000701the reference count, since most frequently the object is only looked at
702quickly. Thus, to retrieve an object and store it again, the caller
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000703must call Py_INCREF() explicitly.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000704
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000705NOTE: functions that 'consume' a reference count, like
706PyList_SetItem(), consume the reference even if the object wasn't
707successfully stored, to simplify error handling.
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000708
709It seems attractive to make other functions that take an object as
Alex Martelli721b7762003-11-09 16:38:39 +0000710argument consume a reference count; however, this may quickly get
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000711confusing (even the current practice is already confusing). Consider
Guido van Rossumcaa63801995-01-12 11:45:45 +0000712it carefully, it may save lots of calls to Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() at
Guido van Rossum85a5fbb1990-10-14 12:07:46 +0000713times.
