/* 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
PYMALLOC_DEBUG mode, 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.

/* Functions
Functions supplying platform-independent semantics for malloc/realloc/
free. These functions make sure that allocating 0 bytes returns a distinct
non-NULL pointer (whenever possible -- if we're flat out of memory, NULL
may be returned), even if the platform malloc and realloc don't.
Returned pointers must be checked for NULL explicitly. No action is
performed on failure (no exception is set, no warning is printed, etc).
