      27: Functions and macros for modules that implement new object types.
      28: 
      29:  - PyObject_New(type, typeobj) allocates memory for a new object of the given
      30:    type, and initializes part of it.  'type' must be the C structure type used
      31:    to represent the object, and 'typeobj' the address of the corresponding
      32:    type object.  Reference count and type pointer are filled in; the rest of
      33:    the bytes of the object are *undefined*!  The resulting expression type is
      34:    'type *'.  The size of the object is determined by the tp_basicsize field
      35:    of the type object.
      36: 
      37:  - PyObject_NewVar(type, typeobj, n) is similar but allocates a variable-size
      38:    object with room for n items.  In addition to the refcount and type pointer
      39:    fields, this also fills in the ob_size field.
      40: 
      41:  - PyObject_Del(op) releases the memory allocated for an object.  It does not
      42:    run a destructor -- it only frees the memory.  PyObject_Free is identical.
      43: 
      44:  - PyObject_Init(op, typeobj) and PyObject_InitVar(op, typeobj, n) don't
      45:    allocate memory.  Instead of a 'type' parameter, they take a pointer to a
      46:    new object (allocated by an arbitrary allocator), and initialize its object
      47:    header fields.
      48: 
      49: Note that objects created with PyObject_{New, NewVar} are allocated using the
      50: specialized Python allocator (implemented in obmalloc.c), if WITH_PYMALLOC is
      51: enabled.  In addition, a special debugging allocator is used if PYMALLOC_DEBUG
      52: is also #defined.
      53: 
      54: In case a specific form of memory management is needed (for example, if you
      55: must use the platform malloc heap(s), or shared memory, or C++ local storage or
      56: operator new), you must first allocate the object with your custom allocator,
      57: then pass its pointer to PyObject_{Init, InitVar} for filling in its Python-
      58: specific fields:  reference count, type pointer, possibly others.  You should
      59: be aware that Python no control over these objects because they don't
      60: cooperate with the Python memory manager.  Such objects may not be eligible
      61: for automatic garbage collection and you have to make sure that they are
      62: released accordingly whenever their destructor gets called (cf. the specific
      63: form of memory management you're using).
      64: 
      65: Unless you have specific memory management requirements, use
      66: PyObject_{New, NewVar, Del}.

      77:    designed for fast, cache-conscious allocation of many "small" objects,
