Brett is right. Macroing the memory allocator is a better choice than
forcing indirection on all platforms. We did this on Python for S60,
using the macros PyCore_{MALLOC,REALLOC,FREE}_FUNC for interpreter's
allocations, and then redirected those to a mech
Jukka Laurila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
Brett, the ability to define the allocator dynamically at runtime could
be a compile time option, turned on by default only on small memory
platforms. On most platforms you can live with plain old malloc and may
want to avoid the indir
New submission from Jukka Laurila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Currently Python always uses the C library malloc/realloc/free as the
underlying mechanism for requesting memory from the OS, but especially
on memory-limited platforms it is often desirable to be able to override
the allocator
New submission from Jukka Laurila:
sysmodule.h contains the following declarations for data to be exported
from the Python DLL, but these variables don't seem to exist anywhere:
PyAPI_DATA(PyObject *) _PySys_TraceFunc, *_PySys_ProfileFunc;
PyAPI_DATA(int) _PySys_CheckInterval;
