#include "mymalloc.h"

/*
Functions and macros for modules that implement new object types.
You must first include "object.h".

 - PyObject_New(type, typeobj) allocates memory for a new object of
   the given type; here 'type' must be the C structure type used to
   represent the object and 'typeobj' the address of the corresponding
   type object.  Reference count and type pointer are filled in; the
   rest of the bytes of the object are *undefined*!  The resulting
   expression type is 'type *'.  The size of the object is actually
   determined by the tp_basicsize field of the type object.

 - PyObject_NewVar(type, typeobj, n) is similar but allocates a
   variable-size object with n extra items.  The size is computed as
   tp_basicsize plus n * tp_itemsize.  This fills in the ob_size field
   as well.

 - PyObject_Del(op) releases the memory allocated for an object.

 - PyObject_Init(op, typeobj) and PyObject_InitVar(op, typeobj, n) are
   similar to PyObject_{New, NewVar} except that they don't allocate
   the memory needed for an object. Instead of the 'type' parameter,
   they accept the pointer of a new object (allocated by an arbitrary
   allocator) and initialize its object header fields.

Note that objects created with PyObject_{New, NewVar} are allocated
within the Python heap by an object allocator, the latter being
implemented (by default) on top of the Python raw memory
allocator. This ensures that Python keeps control on the user's
objects regarding their memory management; for instance, they may be
subject to automatic garbage collection.

In case a specific form of memory management is needed, implying that
the objects would not reside in the Python heap (for example standard
malloc heap(s) are mandatory, use of shared memory, C++ local storage
or operator new), you must first allocate the object with your custom
allocator, then pass its pointer to PyObject_{Init, InitVar} for
filling in its Python-specific fields: reference count, type pointer,
possibly others. You should be aware that Python has very limited
control over these objects because they don't cooperate with the
Python memory manager. Such objects may not be eligible for automatic
garbage collection and you have to make sure that they are released
accordingly whenever their destructor gets called (cf. the specific
form of memory management you're using).

Unless you have specific memory management requirements, it is
recommended to use PyObject_{New, NewVar, Del}. */

/* 
 * Core object memory allocator
 * ============================
 */

/* The purpose of the object allocator is to make make the distinction
   between "object memory" and the rest within the Python heap.
   
   Object memory is the one allocated by PyObject_{New, NewVar}, i.e.
   the one that holds the object's representation defined by its C
   type structure, *excluding* any object-specific memory buffers that
   might be referenced by the structure (for type structures that have
   pointer fields).  By default, the object memory allocator is
   implemented on top of the raw memory allocator.

   The PyCore_* macros can be defined to make the interpreter use a
   custom object memory allocator. They are reserved for internal
   memory management purposes exclusively. Both the core and extension
   modules should use the PyObject_* API. */

/*
 * Raw object memory interface
 * ===========================
 */

/* The use of this API should be avoided, unless a builtin object
   constructor inlines PyObject_{New, NewVar}, either because the
   latter functions cannot allocate the exact amount of needed memory,
   either for speed. This situation is exceptional, but occurs for
   some object constructors (PyBuffer_New, PyList_New...).  Inlining
   PyObject_{New, NewVar} for objects that are supposed to belong to
   the Python heap is discouraged. If you really have to, make sure
   the object is initialized with PyObject_{Init, InitVar}. Do *not*
   inline PyObject_{Init, InitVar} for user-extension types or you
   might seriously interfere with Python's memory management. */

   as Python. These wrappers *do not* make sure that allocating 0
   bytes returns a non-NULL pointer. Returned pointers must be checked
   for NULL explicitly; no action is performed on failure. */

   PyGC_HEAD_SIZE in the calculation of tp_basicsize.  Call
   PyObject_GC_Init after the pointers followed by tp_recurse become

   method.  Call PyObject_GC_Fini before those pointers become invalid
