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)). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26249> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
