New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
CPython uses many "free lists": list of "deallocated" objects which are kept alive to optimize allocation of new objects. For example, the builtin list type has a free list. Problem: tracemalloc only traces the memory allocation when the object is created, but it doesn't update the traceback when the "free object" is reused to create "a new object". Attached PR modifies _Py_NewReference() to update the Python traceback in the tracemalloc trace. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 328326 nosy: vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Enhance tracemalloc to trace properly free lists versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
