# 공통 객체 구조체

파이썬의 객체 형 정의에 사용되는 많은 구조체가 있습니다. 이 섹션에서는 이러한 구조체와 사용 방법에 관해 설명합니다.

## 기본 객체 형과 매크로

All Python objects ultimately share a small number of fields at the beginning of the object’s representation in memory. These are represented by the `PyObject` and `PyVarObject` types, which are defined, in turn, by the expansions of some macros also used, whether directly or indirectly, in the definition of all other Python objects. Additional macros can be found under reference counting.

type PyObject
  Part of the Limited API. (Only some members are part of the stable ABI.)

  All object types are extensions of this type. This is a type which contains the information Python needs to treat a pointer to an object as an object. In a normal “release” build, it contains only the object’s reference count and a pointer to the corresponding type object. Nothing is actually declared to be a `PyObject`, but every pointer to a Python object can be cast to a PyObject *. Access to the members must be done by using the macros `Py_REFCNT` and `Py_TYPE`.

type PyVarObject
  Part of the Limited API. (Only some members are part of the stable ABI.)

  This is an extension of `PyObject` that adds the `ob_size` field. This is only used for objects that have some notion of length. This type does not often appear in the Python/C API. Access to the members must be done by using the macros `Py_REFCNT`, `Py_TYPE`, and `Py_SIZE`.

PyObject_HEAD

PyObject_VAR_HEAD

  인스턴스마다 길이가 다른 객체를 나타내는 새로운 형을 선언할 때 사용되는 매크로입니다. PyObject_VAR_HEAD 매크로는 다음과 같이 확장됩니다:

      PyVarObject ob_base;

  Added in version 3.10.

int Py_IsNone( PyObject *x)
  Part of the Stable ABI since version 3.10.

int Py_IS_TYPE( PyObject *o, PyTypeObject *type)

  객체 o의 형이 type이면 0이 아닌 값을 반환합니다. 그렇지 않으면 0을 반환합니다. `Py_TYPE(o) == type`과 동등합니다.

  Added in version 3.9.

void Py_SET_TYPE( PyObject *o, PyTypeObject *type)

  객체 o의 형을 type으로 설정합니다.

  Added in version 3.9.

Py_ssize_t Py_SIZE( PyVarObject *o)

  Get the size of the Python object o.

  Use the `Py_SET_SIZE()` function to set an object size.

  버전 3.11에서 변경: `Py_SIZE()` is changed to an inline static function. The parameter type is no longer const PyVarObject *.

void Py_SET_SIZE( PyVarObject *o, Py_ssize_t size)

  객체 o의 크기를 size로 설정합니다.

  Added in version 3.9.

PyObject_HEAD_INIT(type)

  이것은 새로운 `PyObject` 형의 초기화 값으로 확장되는 매크로입니다. 이 매크로는 다음으로 확장됩니다:

      _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT
      1, type,

PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT(type, size)

  This is a macro which expands to initialization values for a new `PyVarObject` type, including the `ob_size` field. This macro expands to:

      _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT
      1, type, size,

## 함수와 메서드 구현

type PyCFunction
  Part of the Stable ABI.

  Type of the functions used to implement most Python callables in C. Functions of this type take two PyObject * parameters and return one such value. If the return value is `NULL`, an exception shall have been set. If not `NULL`, the return value is interpreted as the return value of the function as exposed in Python. The function must return a new reference.

  함수 서명은 다음과 같습니다:

      PyObject *PyCFunction(PyObject *self,
                            PyObject *args);

type PyCFunctionWithKeywords
  Part of the Stable ABI.

  Type of the functions used to implement Python callables in C with signature METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS. The function signature is:

      PyObject *PyCFunctionWithKeywords(PyObject *self,
                                        PyObject *args,

                                PyObject *const *args,
                                Py_ssize_t nargs);

      PyObject *PyCFunctionFastWithKeywords(PyObject *self,
                                            PyObject *const *args,
                                            Py_ssize_t nargs,
                                            PyObject *kwnames);

      PyObject *PyCMethod(PyObject *self,
                          PyTypeObject *defining_class,
                          PyObject *const *args,
                          Py_ssize_t nargs,
                          PyObject *kwnames)

  Added in version 3.9.

type PyMethodDef
  Part of the Stable ABI (including all members).

  확장형의 메서드를 기술하는 데 사용되는 구조체. 이 구조체에는 네 개의 필드가 있습니다:

  const char *ml_name

    Name of the method.

  PyCFunction ml_meth

    Pointer to the C implementation.

  int ml_flags

    Flags bits indicating how the call should be constructed.

  const char *ml_doc

    Points to the contents of the docstring.

The `ml_meth` is a C function pointer. The functions may be of different types, but they always return PyObject *. If the function is not of the `PyCFunction`, the compiler will require a cast in the method table. Even though `PyCFunction` defines the first parameter as PyObject *, it is common that the method implementation uses the specific C type of the self object.

The `ml_flags` field is a bitfield which can include the following flags. The individual flags indicate either a calling convention or a binding convention.

다음과 같은 호출 규칙이 있습니다:

METH_VARARGS

  This is the typical calling convention, where the methods have the type `PyCFunction`. The function expects two PyObject * values. The first one is the self object for methods; for module functions, it is the module object. The second parameter (often called args) is a tuple object representing all arguments. This parameter is typically processed using `PyArg_ParseTuple()` or `PyArg_UnpackTuple()`.

METH_KEYWORDS

  Can only be used in certain combinations with other flags: METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS, METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS and METH_METHOD | METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS.

METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS

  이러한 플래그가 있는 메서드는 `PyCFunctionWithKeywords` 형이어야 합니다. 이 함수는 세 개의 매개 변수를 기대합니다: self, args, kwargs. 여기서 kwargs는 모든 키워드 인자의 딕셔너리이거나 키워드 인자가 없으면 `NULL`일 수 있습니다. 매개 변수는 일반적으로 `PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords()`를 사용하여 처리됩니다.

METH_FASTCALL

  Fast calling convention supporting only positional arguments. The methods have the type `PyCFunctionFast`. The first parameter is self, the second parameter is a C array of PyObject * values indicating the arguments and the third parameter is the number of arguments (the length of the array).

  Added in version 3.7.

  버전 3.10에서 변경: `METH_FASTCALL` is now part of the stable ABI.

METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS

  Extension of `METH_FASTCALL` supporting also keyword arguments, with methods of type `PyCFunctionFastWithKeywords`. Keyword arguments are passed the same way as in the vectorcall protocol: there is an additional fourth PyObject * parameter which is a tuple representing the names of the keyword arguments (which are guaranteed to be strings) or possibly `NULL` if there are no keywords. The values of the keyword arguments are stored in the args array, after the positional arguments.

  Added in version 3.7.

METH_METHOD

  Can only be used in the combination with other flags: METH_METHOD | METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS.

METH_METHOD | METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS

  Extension of METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS supporting the defining class, that is, the class that contains the method in question. The defining class might be a superclass of `Py_TYPE(self)`.

  메서드는 `PyCMethod` 형이어야 하는데, `self` 뒤에 `defining_class` 인자가 추가된 `METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS`와 같습니다.

  Added in version 3.9.

METH_NOARGS

  Methods without parameters don’t need to check whether arguments are given if they are listed with the `METH_NOARGS` flag. They need to be of type `PyCFunction`. The first parameter is typically named self and will hold a reference to the module or object instance. In all cases the second parameter will be `NULL`.

  The function must have 2 parameters. Since the second parameter is unused, `Py_UNUSED` can be used to prevent a compiler warning.

METH_O

  Methods with a single object argument can be listed with the `METH_O` flag, instead of invoking `PyArg_ParseTuple()` with a `"O"` argument. They have the type `PyCFunction`, with the self parameter, and a PyObject * parameter representing the single argument.

이 두 상수는 호출 규칙을 나타내는 데 사용되지 않고 클래스의 메서드와 함께 사용할 때 바인딩을 나타냅니다. 모듈에 정의된 함수에는 사용할 수 없습니다. 이러한 플래그 중 최대 하나를 주어진 메서드에 대해 설정할 수 있습니다.

METH_CLASS

  메서드로 형의 인스턴스가 아닌 형 객체가 첫 번째 매개 변수로 전달됩니다. `classmethod()` 내장 함수를 사용할 때 만들어지는 것과 유사한 클래스 메서드(class methods)를 만드는 데 사용됩니다.

METH_STATIC

  메서드로 형의 인스턴스가 아닌 `NULL`이 첫 번째 매개 변수로 전달됩니다. `staticmethod()` 내장 함수를 사용할 때 만들어지는 것과 유사한 정적 메서드(static methods)를 만드는 데 사용됩니다.

하나의 다른 상수는 같은 메서드 이름을 가진 다른 정의 대신 메서드가 로드되는지를 제어합니다.

METH_COEXIST

  The method will be loaded in place of existing definitions. Without METH_COEXIST, the default is to skip repeated definitions. Since slot wrappers are loaded before the method table, the existence of a sq_contains slot, for example, would generate a wrapped method named `__contains__()` and preclude the loading of a corresponding PyCFunction with the same name. With the flag defined, the PyCFunction will be loaded in place of the wrapper object and will co-exist with the slot. This is helpful because calls to PyCFunctions are optimized more than wrapper object calls.

PyObject *PyCMethod_New( PyMethodDef *ml, PyObject *self, PyObject *module, PyTypeObject *cls)
  Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI since version 3.9.

  Turn ml into a Python callable object. The caller must ensure that ml outlives the callable. Typically, ml is defined as a static variable.

  The self parameter will be passed as the self argument to the C function in `ml->ml_meth` when invoked. self can be `NULL`.

  The callable object’s `__module__` attribute can be set from the given module argument. module should be a Python string, which will be used as name of the module the function is defined in. If unavailable, it can be set to `None` or `NULL`.

  `function.__module__`

  The cls parameter will be passed as the defining_class argument to the C function. Must be set if `METH_METHOD` is set on `ml->ml_flags`.

  Added in version 3.9.

PyObject *PyCFunction_NewEx( PyMethodDef *ml, PyObject *self, PyObject *module)
  Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

  Equivalent to `PyCMethod_New(ml, self, module, NULL)`.

PyObject *PyCFunction_New( PyMethodDef *ml, PyObject *self)
  Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI since version 3.4.

  Equivalent to `PyCMethod_New(ml, self, NULL, NULL)`.

## 확장형의 어트리뷰트 액세스

type PyMemberDef
  Part of the Stable ABI (including all members).

  Structure which describes an attribute of a type which corresponds to a C struct member. When defining a class, put a NULL-terminated array of these structures in the `tp_members` slot.

  Its fields are, in order:

  const char *name

    Name of the member. A NULL value marks the end of a `PyMemberDef[]` array.

    The string should be static, no copy is made of it.

  int type

    The type of the member in the C struct. See Member types for the possible values.

  Py_ssize_t offset

    The offset in bytes that the member is located on the type’s object struct.

  int flags

    Zero or more of the Member flags, combined using bitwise OR.

  const char *doc

    The docstring, or NULL. The string should be static, no copy is made of it. Typically, it is defined using `PyDoc_STR`.

  By default (when `flags` is `0`), members allow both read and write access. Use the `Py_READONLY` flag for read-only access. Certain types, like `Py_T_STRING`, imply `Py_READONLY`. Only `Py_T_OBJECT_EX` (and legacy `T_OBJECT`) members can be deleted.

  For heap-allocated types (created using `PyType_FromSpec()` or similar), `PyMemberDef` may contain a definition for the special member `"__vectorcalloffset__"`, corresponding to `tp_vectorcall_offset` in type objects. This member must be defined with `Py_T_PYSSIZET`, and either `Py_READONLY` or `Py_READONLY | Py_RELATIVE_OFFSET`. For example:

      static PyMemberDef spam_type_members[] = {
          {"__vectorcalloffset__", Py_T_PYSSIZET,
           offsetof(Spam_object, vectorcall), Py_READONLY},
          {NULL}  /* Sentinel */
      };

  (You may need to `#include <stddef.h>` for `offsetof()`.)

  The legacy offsets `tp_dictoffset` and `tp_weaklistoffset` can be defined similarly using `"__dictoffset__"` and `"__weaklistoffset__"` members, but extensions are strongly encouraged to use `Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` and `Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_WEAKREF` instead.

  버전 3.12에서 변경: `PyMemberDef` is always available. Previously, it required including `"structmember.h"`.

  버전 3.14에서 변경: `Py_RELATIVE_OFFSET` is now allowed for `"__vectorcalloffset__"`, `"__dictoffset__"` and `"__weaklistoffset__"`.

PyObject *PyMember_GetOne(const char *obj_addr, struct PyMemberDef *m)
  Part of the Stable ABI.

  Get an attribute belonging to the object at address obj_addr. The attribute is described by `PyMemberDef` m. Returns `NULL` on error.

  버전 3.12에서 변경: `PyMember_GetOne` is always available. Previously, it required including `"structmember.h"`.

int PyMember_SetOne(char *obj_addr, struct PyMemberDef *m, PyObject *o)
  Part of the Stable ABI.

  Set an attribute belonging to the object at address obj_addr to object o. The attribute to set is described by `PyMemberDef` m. Returns `0` if successful and a negative value on failure.

  버전 3.12에서 변경: `PyMember_SetOne` is always available. Previously, it required including `"structmember.h"`.

### Member flags

The following flags can be used with `PyMemberDef.flags`:

Py_READONLY

  Not writable.

Py_AUDIT_READ

  Emit an `object.__getattr__` audit event before reading.

Py_RELATIVE_OFFSET

  Indicates that the `offset` of this `PyMemberDef` entry indicates an offset from the subclass-specific data, rather than from `PyObject`.

  Can only be used as part of `Py_tp_members` `slot` when creating a class using negative `basicsize`. It is mandatory in that case.

  This flag is only used in `PyType_Slot`. When setting `tp_members` during class creation, Python clears it and sets `PyMemberDef.offset` to the offset from the `PyObject` struct.

버전 3.10에서 변경: The `RESTRICTED`, `READ_RESTRICTED` and `WRITE_RESTRICTED` macros available with `#include "structmember.h"` are deprecated. `READ_RESTRICTED` and `RESTRICTED` are equivalent to `Py_AUDIT_READ`; `WRITE_RESTRICTED` does nothing.

버전 3.12에서 변경: The `READONLY` macro was renamed to `Py_READONLY`. The `PY_AUDIT_READ` macro was renamed with the `Py_` prefix. The new names are now always available. Previously, these required `#include "structmember.h"`. The header is still available and it provides the old names.

### Member types

`PyMemberDef.type` can be one of the following macros corresponding to various C types. When the member is accessed in Python, it will be converted to the equivalent Python type. When it is set from Python, it will be converted back to the C type. If that is not possible, an exception such as `TypeError` or `ValueError` is raised.

Unless marked (D), attributes defined this way cannot be deleted using e.g. `del` or `delattr()`.

> (**): String of length 1. Only ASCII is accepted.

> (RO): Implies `Py_READONLY`.

> (D): Can be deleted, in which case the pointer is set to `NULL`. Reading a `NULL` pointer raises `AttributeError`.

Added in version 3.12: In previous versions, the macros were only available with `#include "structmember.h"` and were named without the `Py_` prefix (e.g. as `T_INT`). The header is still available and contains the old names, along with the following deprecated types:

T_OBJECT

  Like `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`, but `NULL` is converted to `None`. This results in surprising behavior in Python: deleting the attribute effectively sets it to `None`.

T_NONE

  Always `None`. Must be used with `Py_READONLY`.

### Defining Getters and Setters
