/* An object allocator for Python.

   Here is an introduction to the layers of the Python memory architecture,
   showing where the object allocator is actually used (layer +2), It is
   called for every object allocation and deallocation (PyObject_New/Del),
   unless the object-specific allocators implement a proprietary allocation
   scheme (ex.: ints use a simple free list). This is also the place where
   the cyclic garbage collector operates selectively on container objects.

/*
 * Allocation strategy abstract:
 *
 * For small requests, the allocator sub-allocates <Big> blocks of memory.
 * Requests greater than 256 bytes are routed to the system's allocator.
 *
 * Small requests are grouped in size classes spaced 8 bytes apart, due
 * to the required valid alignment of the returned address. Requests of
 * a particular size are serviced from memory pools of 4K (one VMM page).
 * Pools are fragmented on demand and contain free lists of blocks of one
 * particular size class. In other words, there is a fixed-size allocator
 * for each size class. Free pools are shared by the different allocators
 * thus minimizing the space reserved for a particular size class.
 *
 * This allocation strategy is a variant of what is known as "simple
 * segregated storage based on array of free lists". The main drawback of
 * simple segregated storage is that we might end up with lot of reserved
 * memory for the different free lists, which degenerate in time. To avoid
 * this, we partition each free list in pools and we share dynamically the
 * reserved space between all free lists. This technique is quite efficient
 * for memory intensive programs which allocate mainly small-sized blocks.
 *
 * For small requests we have the following table:
 *
 * Request in bytes	Size of allocated block      Size class idx
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------
 *        1-8                     8                       0
 *	  9-16                   16                       1
 *	 17-24                   24                       2

    Number of bytes originally asked for.  4-byte unsigned integer,

p[4:8]
    Copies of PYMALLOC_FORBIDDENBYTE.  Used to catch under- writes
    and reads.
p[8:8+n]
    The requested memory, filled with copies of PYMALLOC_CLEANBYTE.
    Used to catch reference to uninitialized memory.
    &p[8] is returned.  Note that this is 8-byte aligned if PyMalloc
    handled the request itself.
p[8+n:8+n+4]
    Copies of PYMALLOC_FORBIDDENBYTE.  Used to catch over- writes
    and reads.
p[8+n+4:8+n+8]
    A serial number, incremented by 1 on each call to _PyMalloc_DebugMalloc
    and _PyMalloc_DebugRealloc.
    4-byte unsigned integer, big-endian.
    If "bad memory" is detected later, the serial number gives an
    excellent way to set a breakpoint on the next run, to capture the
    instant at which this block was passed out.
