* gh-112532: Isolate abandoned segments by interpreter Mimalloc segments are data structures that contain memory allocations along with metadata. Each segment is "owned" by a thread. When a thread exits, it abandons its segments to a global pool to be later reclaimed by other threads. This changes the pool to be per-interpreter instead of process-wide. This will be important for when we use mimalloc to find GC objects in the `--disable-gil` builds. We want heaps to only store Python objects from a single interpreter. Absent this change, the abandoning and reclaiming process could break this isolation. * Add missing '&_mi_abandoned_default' to 'tld_empty'
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
