New patch (version 2):
- an hash table entry can now contain the data directly instead of a pointer to the data
- _tracemalloc._get_stats() copies the hash table to not have to lock the hash table too long, which will be especially useful for TRACE_RAW_MALLOC
- Add get_object_trace() function which returns a namedtuple
- get_process_memory() returns a namedtuple
- DisplayGarbage class has been removed: the PEP 442 has been implemented, it is no more interesting to trace uncollectable objects because they became very rare. If you still want to do that, get_object_trace() is available
TODO:
- TRACE_RAW_MALLOC define is still disabled because it introduces a deadlock when PyMem_RawMalloc() is called indirectly by Py_NewInterpreter()
- minor pending FIXME in the code
- review the high level API: add an helper to build a diff between two snapshots and drop colors (not portable)?
test_capi deadlock with TRACE_RAW_MALLOC:
 test_subinterps (test.test_capi.SubinterpreterTest) ... ^C
