Make a non-Py_DEBUG, asserts-enabled build of CPython possible. This means
making sure helper functions are defined when NDEBUG is not defined, not
just when Py_DEBUG is defined.
Also fix a division-by-zero in obmalloc.c that went unnoticed because in
Py_DEBUG mode, elsize is never zero.
(cherry picked from commit a00c3fd12d and 06bb4873d6)
- Rename Py_ADDRESS_IN_RANGE to address_in_range and make it a static
function instead of macro. Any compiler worth its salt will inline this
function.
- Remove the duplicated function version of Py_ADDRESS_IN_RANGE used when memory
analysis was active. Instead, we can simply mark address_in_range as allergic
to dynamic memory checking. We can now remove the
__attribute__((no_address_safety_analysis)) from _PyObject_Free and
_PyObject_Realloc. All the badness is contained in address_in_range now.
- Fix the code that tried to only read pool->arenaindex once. Putting something
in a variable is no guarantee that it won't be read multiple times. We must
use volatile for that.
Issue #26249: PyMem_Malloc() allocator family now uses the pymalloc allocator
rather than system malloc(). Applications calling PyMem_Malloc() without
holding the GIL can now crash: use PYTHONMALLOC=debug environment variable to
validate the usage of memory allocators in your application.
Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal error
if functions of the PyMem_Malloc() family are called without holding the GIL.
Issue #26564: _PyObject_DebugDumpAddress() now dumps the traceback where a
memory block was allocated on memory block. Use the tracemalloc module to get
the traceback.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
PyObject_Calloc(), _PyObject_GC_Calloc(). bytes(int) and bytearray(int) are now
using ``calloc()`` instead of ``malloc()`` for large objects which is faster
and use less memory (until the bytearray buffer is filled with data).
_PyMem_RawMalloc/Realloc/Free, instead of _PyMem_Malloc/Realloc/Free. So it
becomes possible to use the fast pymalloc allocator for the PYMEM_DOMAIN_MEM
domain (PyMem_Malloc/Realloc/Free functions).
This patch appropriately marks known false alarms in the
small object allocator when address sanity checking is
enabled (patch contributed by Dhiru Kholia).
