If a chunk of memory needs a larger lifetime than can be managed by a
``try..finally`` block, another helpful idiom is to tie its lifetime
to a Python object to leverage the Python runtime's memory management,
e.g.::
cdef class SomeMemory:
cdef double* data
def __cinit__(self, size_t number):
# allocate some memory (uninitialised, may contain arbitrary data)
self.data = <double*> PyMem_Malloc(number * sizeof(double))
if not self.data:
raise MemoryError()
def resize(self, size_t new_number):
# Allocates new_number * sizeof(double) bytes,
# preserving the current content and making a best-effort to
# re-use the original data location.
mem = <double*> PyMem_Realloc(self.data, new_number * sizeof(double))
if not mem:
raise MemoryError()
# Only overwrite the pointer if the memory was really reallocated.
# On error (mem is NULL), the originally memory has not been freed.
self.data = mem
def __dealloc__(self):
PyMem_Free(self.data) # no-op if self.data is NULL
