循環垃圾回收的支援¶

Python's support for detecting and collecting garbage which involves circularreferences requires support from object types which are "containers" for otherobjects which may also be containers. Types which do not store references toother objects, or which only store references to atomic types (such as numbersor strings), do not need to provide any explicit support for garbagecollection.

To create a container type, thetp_flags field of the type object mustinclude thePy_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC and provide an implementation of thetp_traverse handler. If instances of the type are mutable, atp_clear implementation must also be provided.

Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC

Objects with a type with this flag set must conform with the rulesdocumented here. For convenience these objects will be referred to ascontainer objects.

Constructors for container types must conform to two rules:

1. The memory for the object must be allocated usingPyObject_GC_NeworPyObject_GC_NewVar.

2. Once all the fields which may contain references to other containers areinitialized, it must callPyObject_GC_Track().

Similarly, the deallocator for the object must conform to a similar pair ofrules:

1. Before fields which refer to other containers are invalidated,PyObject_GC_UnTrack() must be called.

2. The object's memory must be deallocated usingPyObject_GC_Del().

   警告

   If a type adds the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC, then itmust implement at leastatp_traverse handler or explicitly use onefrom its subclass or subclasses.

   When callingPyType_Ready() or some of the APIs that indirectlycall it likePyType_FromSpecWithBases() orPyType_FromSpec() the interpreter will automatically populate thetp_flags,tp_traverseandtp_clear fields if the type inherits from aclass that implements the garbage collector protocol and the child classdoesnot include thePy_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag.

PyObject_GC_New(TYPE,typeobj)¶

Analogous toPyObject_New but for container objects with thePy_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag set.

PyObject_GC_NewVar(TYPE,typeobj,size)¶

Analogous toPyObject_NewVar but for container objects with thePy_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag set.

PyObject*PyUnstable_Object_GC_NewWithExtraData(PyTypeObject*type,size_textra_size)¶

這是不穩定 API，它可能在小版本發布中沒有任何警告地被變更。

Analogous toPyObject_GC_New but allocatesextra_sizebytes at the end of the object (at offsettp_basicsize).The allocated memory is initialized to zeros,except for thePythonobjectheader.

The extra data will be deallocated with the object, but otherwise it isnot managed by Python.

警告

The function is marked as unstable because the final mechanismfor reserving extra data after an instance is not yet decided.For allocating a variable number of fields, prefer usingPyVarObject andtp_itemsizeinstead.

PyObject_GC_Resize(TYPE,op,newsize)¶

Resize an object allocated byPyObject_NewVar.Returns the resized object of typeTYPE* (refers to any C type)orNULL on failure.

op must be of typePyVarObject*and must not be tracked by the collector yet.newsize must be of typePy_ssize_t.

voidPyObject_GC_Track(PyObject*op)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Adds the objectop to the set of container objects tracked by thecollector. The collector can run at unexpected times so objects must bevalid while being tracked. This should be called once all the fieldsfollowed by thetp_traverse handler become valid, usually near theend of the constructor.

intPyObject_IS_GC(PyObject*obj)¶

Returns non-zero if the object implements the garbage collector protocol,otherwise returns 0.

The object cannot be tracked by the garbage collector if this function returns 0.

intPyObject_GC_IsTracked(PyObject*op)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分 自 3.9 版本開始.

Returns 1 if the object type ofop implements the GC protocol andop is beingcurrently tracked by the garbage collector and 0 otherwise.

This is analogous to the Python functiongc.is_tracked().

在 3.9 版被加入.

intPyObject_GC_IsFinalized(PyObject*op)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分 自 3.9 版本開始.

Returns 1 if the object type ofop implements the GC protocol andop has beenalready finalized by the garbage collector and 0 otherwise.

This is analogous to the Python functiongc.is_finalized().

在 3.9 版被加入.

voidPyObject_GC_Del(void*op)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Releases memory allocated to an object usingPyObject_GC_New orPyObject_GC_NewVar.

voidPyObject_GC_UnTrack(void*op)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Remove the objectop from the set of container objects tracked by thecollector. Note thatPyObject_GC_Track() can be called again onthis object to add it back to the set of tracked objects. The deallocator(tp_dealloc handler) should call this for the object before any ofthe fields used by thetp_traverse handler become invalid.

Thetp_traverse handler accepts a function parameter of this type:

typedefint(*visitproc)(PyObject*object,void*arg)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Type of the visitor function passed to thetp_traverse handler.The function should be called with an object to traverse asobject andthe third parameter to thetp_traverse handler asarg. ThePython core uses several visitor functions to implement cyclic garbagedetection; it's not expected that users will need to write their ownvisitor functions.

Thetp_traverse handler must have the following type:

typedefint(*traverseproc)(PyObject*self,visitprocvisit,void*arg)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Traversal function for a container object. Implementations must call thevisit function for each object directly contained byself, with theparameters tovisit being the contained object and thearg value passedto the handler. Thevisit function must not be called with aNULLobject argument. Ifvisit returns a non-zero value that value should bereturned immediately.

To simplify writingtp_traverse handlers, aPy_VISIT() macro isprovided. In order to use this macro, thetp_traverse implementationmust name its arguments exactlyvisit andarg:

Py_VISIT(o)¶

If thePyObject*o is notNULL, call thevisit callback, with argumentsoandarg. Ifvisit returns a non-zero value, then return it.Using this macro,tp_traverse handlerslook like:

staticintmy_traverse(Noddy*self,visitprocvisit,void*arg){Py_VISIT(self->foo);Py_VISIT(self->bar);return0;}

Thetp_clear handler must be of theinquiry type, orNULLif the object is immutable.

typedefint(*inquiry)(PyObject*self)¶

為穩定 ABI 的一部分.

Drop references that may have created reference cycles. Immutable objectsdo not have to define this method since they can never directly createreference cycles. Note that the object must still be valid after callingthis method (don't just callPy_DECREF() on a reference). Thecollector will call this method if it detects that this object is involvedin a reference cycle.
