62
Tim Peters8b078f92002-04-28 04:11:46 +000063 Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules should
64 use the functions, to ensure binary compatibility across Python versions.
65 Because the Python implementation is free to change internal details, and
66 the macros may (or may not) expose details for speed, if you do use the
67 macros you must recompile your extensions with each Python release.
Peter Schneider-Kamp25f68942000-07-31 22:19:30 +000068
Tim Peters8b078f92002-04-28 04:11:46 +000069 Never mix calls to PyMem_ with calls to the platform malloc/realloc/
70 calloc/free. For example, on Windows different DLLs may end up using
71 different heaps, and if you use PyMem_Malloc you'll get the memory from the
72 heap used by the Python DLL; it could be a disaster if you free()'ed that
73 directly in your own extension. Using PyMem_Free instead ensures Python
74 can return the memory to the proper heap. As another example, in
75 PYMALLOC_DEBUG mode, Python wraps all calls to all PyMem_ and PyObject_
76 memory functions in special debugging wrappers that add additional
77 debugging info to dynamic memory blocks. The system routines have no idea
78 what to do with that stuff, and the Python wrappers have no idea what to do
79 with raw blocks obtained directly by the system routines then.
