/* 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.

   Functions supplying platform-independent semantics for malloc/realloc/

   Returned pointers must be checked for NULL explicitly.  No action is

   performed on failure (no exception is set, no warning is printed, etc).
