     63 /* BEWARE:
     64 
     65    Each interface exports both functions and macros.  Extension modules should
     66    use the functions, to ensure binary compatibility across Python versions.
     67    Because the Python implementation is free to change internal details, and
     68    the macros may (or may not) expose details for speed, if you do use the
     69    macros you must recompile your extensions with each Python release.
     70 
     71    Never mix calls to PyMem_ with calls to the platform malloc/realloc/
     72    calloc/free.  For example, on Windows different DLLs may end up using
     73    different heaps, and if you use PyMem_Malloc you'll get the memory from the
     74    heap used by the Python DLL; it could be a disaster if you free()'ed that
     75    directly in your own extension.  Using PyMem_Free instead ensures Python
     76    can return the memory to the proper heap.  As another example, in
     77    PYMALLOC_DEBUG mode, Python wraps all calls to all PyMem_ and PyObject_
     78    memory functions in special debugging wrappers that add additional
     79    debugging info to dynamic memory blocks.  The system routines have no idea
     80    what to do with that stuff, and the Python wrappers have no idea what to do
     81    with raw blocks obtained directly by the system routines then.
     82 
     83    The GIL must be held when using these APIs.
