|
|
// also be registered with the arena via _PyArena_AddPyObject(), and the
|

// allocated is freed, the arena releases internal references to registered

// PyObject*, and none of its pointers are valid.

|

// XXX and looks like it may or may not set an exception (e.g., if the
|
|
// XXX internal PyList_New(0) returns NULL, _PyArena_New() passes that on
|
|
// XXX and an exception is set; OTOH, if the internal
