- 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 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. */
