> Does the API doc say anything about the GIL, for example? Or Valgrind?
For the GIL, yes, Python 3 doc is explicit:
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/memory.html#memory-interface
Red and bold warning: "The GIL must be held when using these functions."
Hum, sadly it looks like the warning miss in Python 2 doc.
The GIL was the motivation to introduce the PyMem_RawMalloc() function
in Python 3.4.
For Valgrind: using the issue #26516, you will be able to use
PYTHONMALLOC=malloc to use easily Valgrind even on a Python compiled
in release mode (which is a new feature, before you had to manually
recompile Python in debug mode with --with-valgrind)). |
