how do i mix my own code (calling GC_MALLOC) with other libs which could use any memory management techniques they want? thinking about it, i guess any library and client code must use compatible mm. so i guess a library must either use malloc or provide it's own alloc functions. unfortunately, i want to embed python in my app, and it uses it's own mm. is the only answer to patch python to use GC_MALLOC for all memory alloc? and can i use mmaps in my own code? what do i have to be careful about? ta, jack
