参照カウント

The macros in this section are used for managing reference counts of Python objects.

void Py_INCREF(PyObject *o)

オブジェクト o への新しい 強参照 を取得し、それが使用中で破棄されてはならないことを示します。

This function is usually used to convert a borrowed reference to a strong reference in-place. The Py_NewRef() function can be used to create a new strong reference.

When done using the object, release it by calling Py_DECREF().

オブジェクトが NULL であってはいけません。それが NULL ではないと確信が持てないならば、 Py_XINCREF() を使ってください。

Do not expect this function to actually modify o in any way.

void Py_XINCREF(PyObject *o)

Similar to Py_INCREF(), but the object o can be NULL, in which case this has no effect.

See also Py_XNewRef().

PyObject *Py_NewRef(PyObject *o)

次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).

Create a new strong reference to an object: call Py_INCREF() on o and return the object o.

When the strong reference is no longer needed, Py_DECREF() should be called on it to release the reference.

The object o must not be NULL; use Py_XNewRef() if o can be NULL.

例えば:

Py_INCREF(obj);
self->attr = obj;

can be written as:

self->attr = Py_NewRef(obj);

See also Py_INCREF().

バージョン 3.10 で追加.

PyObject *Py_XNewRef(PyObject *o)

次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).

Similar to Py_NewRef(), but the object o can be NULL.

If the object o is NULL, the function just returns NULL.

バージョン 3.10 で追加.

void Py_DECREF(PyObject *o)

Release a strong reference to object o, indicating the reference is no longer used.

Once the last strong reference is released (i.e. the object's reference count reaches 0), the object's type's deallocation function (which must not be NULL) is invoked.

This function is usually used to delete a strong reference before exiting its scope.

オブジェクトが NULL であってはいけません。それが NULL ではないと確信が持てないならば、 Py_XDECREF() を使ってください。

Do not expect this function to actually modify o in any way.

警告

The deallocation function can cause arbitrary Python code to be invoked (e.g. when a class instance with a __del__() method is deallocated). While exceptions in such code are not propagated, the executed code has free access to all Python global variables. This means that any object that is reachable from a global variable should be in a consistent state before Py_DECREF() is invoked. For example, code to delete an object from a list should copy a reference to the deleted object in a temporary variable, update the list data structure, and then call Py_DECREF() for the temporary variable.

void Py_XDECREF(PyObject *o)

Similar to Py_DECREF(), but the object o can be NULL, in which case this has no effect. The same warning from Py_DECREF() applies here as well.

void Py_CLEAR(PyObject *o)

Release a strong reference for object o. The object may be NULL, in which case the macro has no effect; otherwise the effect is the same as for Py_DECREF(), except that the argument is also set to NULL. The warning for Py_DECREF() does not apply with respect to the object passed because the macro carefully uses a temporary variable and sets the argument to NULL before releasing the reference.

It is a good idea to use this macro whenever releasing a reference to an object that might be traversed during garbage collection.

void Py_IncRef(PyObject *o)

次に属します: Stable ABI.

Indicate taking a new strong reference to object o. A function version of Py_XINCREF(). It can be used for runtime dynamic embedding of Python.

void Py_DecRef(PyObject *o)

次に属します: Stable ABI.

Release a strong reference to object o. A function version of Py_XDECREF(). It can be used for runtime dynamic embedding of Python.

The following functions or macros are only for use within the interpreter core: _Py_Dealloc(), _Py_ForgetReference(), _Py_NewReference(), as well as the global variable _Py_RefTotal.
