+ A new scheme for determining whether an address belongs to a pymalloc arena. This should be 100% reliable. The poolp->pooladdr and poolp->magic members are gone. A new poolp->arenaindex member takes their place. Note that the pool header overhead doesn't actually shrink, though, since the header is padded to a multiple of 8 bytes. + _PyMalloc_Free and _PyMalloc_Realloc should now be safe to call for any legit address, whether obtained from a _PyMalloc function or from the system malloc/realloc. It should even be safe to call _PyMalloc_Free when *not* holding the GIL, provided that the passed-in address was obtained from system malloc/realloc. Since this is accomplished without any locks, you better believe the code is subtle. I hope it's sufficiently commented. + The above implies we don't need the new PyMalloc_{New, NewVar, Del} API anymore, and could switch back to PyObject_XXX without breaking existing code mixing PyObject_XXX with PyMem_{Del, DEL, Free, FREE}. Nothing is done here about that yet, and I'd like to see this new code exercised more first. + The small object threshhold is boosted to 256 (the max). We should play with that some more, but the old 64 was way too small for 2.3. + Getting a new arena is now done via new function new_arena(). + Removed some unused macros, and squashed out some macros that were used only once to define other macros. + Arenas are no longer linked together. A new vector of arena base addresses had to be created anyway to make address classification bulletproof. + A lot of the patch size is an illusion: given the way address classification works now, it was more convenient to switch the sense of the prime "if" tests in the realloc and free functions, so the "if" and "else" blocks got swapped. + Assorted minor code, comment and whitespace cleanup. Back to the Windows installer <wink>.
