       8  /* Object and type object interface */
       9  
      10  /*
      11  Objects are structures allocated on the heap.  Special rules apply to
      12  the use of objects to ensure they are properly garbage-collected.
      13  Objects are never allocated statically or on the stack; they must be
      14  accessed through special macros and functions only.  (Type objects are
      15  exceptions to the first rule; the standard types are represented by
      16  statically initialized type objects, although work on type/class unification
      17  for Python 2.2 made it possible to have heap-allocated type objects too).
      18  
      19  An object has a 'reference count' that is increased or decreased when a
      20  pointer to the object is copied or deleted; when the reference count
      21  reaches zero there are no references to the object left and it can be
      22  removed from the heap.
      23  
      24  An object has a 'type' that determines what it represents and what kind
      25  of data it contains.  An object's type is fixed when it is created.
      26  Types themselves are represented as objects; an object contains a
      27  pointer to the corresponding type object.  The type itself has a type
      28  pointer pointing to the object representing the type 'type', which
      29  contains a pointer to itself!.
      30  
      31  Objects do not float around in memory; once allocated an object keeps
      32  the same size and address.  Objects that must hold variable-size data
      33  can contain pointers to variable-size parts of the object.  Not all
      34  objects of the same type have the same size; but the size cannot change
      35  after allocation.  (These restrictions are made so a reference to an
      36  object can be simply a pointer -- moving an object would require
      37  updating all the pointers, and changing an object's size would require
      38  moving it if there was another object right next to it.)
      39  
      40  Objects are always accessed through pointers of the type 'PyObject *'.
      41  The type 'PyObject' is a structure that only contains the reference count
      42  and the type pointer.  The actual memory allocated for an object
      43  contains other data that can only be accessed after casting the pointer
      44  to a pointer to a longer structure type.  This longer type must start
      45  with the reference count and type fields; the macro PyObject_HEAD should be
      46  used for this (to accommodate for future changes).  The implementation
      47  of a particular object type can cast the object pointer to the proper
      48  type and back.
      49  
      50  A standard interface exists for objects that contain an array of items
      51  whose size is determined when the object is allocated.

     446  the refcount falls to 0; for
     447  objects that don't contain references to other objects or heap memory
     448  this can be the standard function free().  Both macros can be used
     449  wherever a void expression is allowed.  The argument must not be a
     450  NULL pointer.  If it may be NULL, use Py_XINCREF/Py_XDECREF instead.
     451  The macro _Py_NewReference(op) initialize reference counts to 1, and
     452  in special builds (Py_REF_DEBUG, Py_TRACE_REFS) performs additional
     453  bookkeeping appropriate to the special build.
     454  
     455  We assume that the reference count field can never overflow; this can
     456  be proven when the size of the field is the same as the pointer size, so
     457  we ignore the possibility.  Provided a C int is at least 32 bits (which
     458  is implicitly assumed in many parts of this code), that's enough for
     459  about 2**31 references to an object.
     460  
     461  XXX The following became out of date in Python 2.2, but I'm not sure
     462  XXX what the full truth is now.  Certainly, heap-allocated type objects
     463  XXX can and should be deallocated.
     464  Type objects should never be deallocated; the type pointer in an object
     465  is not considered to be a reference to the type object, to save
     466  complications in the deallocation function.  (This is actually a
     467  decision that's up to the implementer of each new type so if you want,
     468  you can count such references to the type object.)

     704  More conventions
     705  ================
     706  
     707  Argument Checking
     708  -----------------
     709  
     710  Functions that take objects as arguments normally don't check for nil
     711  arguments, but they do check the type of the argument, and return an
     712  error if the function doesn't apply to the type.
     713  
     714  Failure Modes
     715  -------------
     716  
     717  Functions may fail for a variety of reasons, including running out of
     718  memory.  This is communicated to the caller in two ways: an error string
     719  is set (see errors.h), and the function result differs: functions that
     720  normally return a pointer return NULL for failure, functions returning
     721  an integer return -1 (which could be a legal return value too!), and
     722  other functions return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
     723  Callers should always check for errors before using the result.  If
     724  an error was set, the caller must either explicitly clear it, or pass
     725  the error on to its caller.
     726  
     727  Reference Counts
     728  ----------------
     729  
     730  It takes a while to get used to the proper usage of reference counts.
     731  
     732  Functions that create an object set the reference count to 1; such new
     733  objects must be stored somewhere or destroyed again with Py_DECREF().
     734  Some functions that 'store' objects, such as PyTuple_SetItem() and
     735  PyList_SetItem(),
     736  don't increment the reference count of the object, since the most
     737  frequent use is to store a fresh object.  Functions that 'retrieve'
     738  objects, such as PyTuple_GetItem() and PyDict_GetItemString(), also
     739  don't increment
     740  the reference count, since most frequently the object is only looked at
     741  quickly.  Thus, to retrieve an object and store it again, the caller
     742  must call Py_INCREF() explicitly.
     743  
     744  NOTE: functions that 'consume' a reference count, like
     745  PyList_SetItem(), consume the reference even if the object wasn't
     746  successfully stored, to simplify error handling.
     747  
     748  It seems attractive to make other functions that take an object as
     749  argument consume a reference count; however, this may quickly get
     750  confusing (even the current practice is already confusing).  Consider
     751  it carefully, it may save lots of calls to Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() at
     752  times.
