Add PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawCalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc() and PyMem_RawFree() to the limited C API. These functions were added by Python 3.4 and are needed to port stdlib extensions to the limited C API, like grp and pwd. Co-authored-by: Erlend E. Aasland <erlend@python.org>

/* BEWARE:
|
|
|
|
Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules should
|
|
use the functions, to ensure binary compatibility across Python versions.
|
|
Because the Python implementation is free to change internal details, and
|
|
the macros may (or may not) expose details for speed, if you do use the
|
|
macros you must recompile your extensions with each Python release.
|
|
|
|
Never mix calls to PyMem_ with calls to the platform malloc/realloc/
|
|
calloc/free. For example, on Windows different DLLs may end up using
|
|
different heaps, and if you use PyMem_Malloc you'll get the memory from the
|
|
heap used by the Python DLL; it could be a disaster if you free()'ed that
|
|
directly in your own extension. Using PyMem_Free instead ensures Python
|
|
can return the memory to the proper heap. As another example, in
|
|
a debug build (Py_DEBUG macro), Python wraps all calls to all PyMem_ and
|
|
PyObject_ memory functions in special debugging wrappers that add additional
|
|
debugging info to dynamic memory blocks. The system routines have no idea
|
|
what to do with that stuff, and the Python wrappers have no idea what to do
|
|
with raw blocks obtained directly by the system routines then.
|
|
|
|
The GIL must be held when using these APIs.
