/* BEWARE:

   Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules
   should normally use the functions for ensuring binary compatibility
   of the user's code across Python versions. Subsequently, if the
   Python runtime switches to its own malloc (different from standard
   malloc), no recompilation is required for the extensions.

   The macro versions trade compatibility for speed. They can be used
   whenever there is a performance problem, but their use implies
   recompilation of the code for each new Python release. The Python
   core uses the macros because it *is* compiled on every upgrade.
   This might not be the case with 3rd party extensions in a custom
   setup (for example, a customer does not always have access to the
   source of 3rd party deliverables). You have been warned! */

/* SCENARIOS

   Here are two scenarios by Vladimir Marangozov (the author of the
   memory allocation redesign).

   1) Scenario A

   Suppose you want to use a debugging malloc library that collects info on
   where the malloc calls originate from. Assume the interface is:

   d_malloc(size_t n, char* src_file, unsigned long src_line) c.s.

   In this case, you would define (for example in pyconfig.h) :

   #define PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC      d_malloc
   ...
   #define PyCore_MALLOC_PROTO	(size_t, char *, unsigned long)
   ...
   #define NEED_TO_DECLARE_MALLOC_AND_FRIEND

   #define PyCore_MALLOC(n)	PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC((n), __FILE__, __LINE__)
   ...

   2) Scenario B

   Suppose you want to use malloc hooks (defined & initialized in a 3rd party
   malloc library) instead of malloc functions.  In this case, you would
   define:

   #define PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC	(*malloc_hook)
   ...
   #define NEED_TO_DECLARE_MALLOC_AND_FRIEND

   and ignore the previous definitions about PyCore_MALLOC_FUNC, etc.
