ma_fill Py_ssize_t ma_fill;: _
ma_lookup PyDictEntry* function(PyDictObject* mp, PyObject* key, Py_hash_t hash) ma_lookup;: _
ma_mask Py_ssize_t ma_mask;: The table contains ma_mask + 1 slots, and that's a power of 2. We store the mask instead of the size because the mask is more frequently needed.
ma_smalltable PyDictEntry[PyDict_MINSIZE] ma_smalltable;: _
ma_table PyDictEntry* ma_table;: ma_table points to ma_smalltable for small tables, else to additional malloc'ed memory. ma_table is never NULL! This rule saves repeated runtime null-tests in the workhorse getitem and setitem calls.
ma_used Py_ssize_t ma_used;: _
