Crashers of the day: Py_CLEAR must be used when there is a chance that the
function can be called recursively.
This was discussed in issue1020188.
In python codebase, all occurrences of Py_[X]DECREF(xxx->yyy) are suspect,
except when they appear in tp_new or tp_dealloc functions, or when
the member cannot be of a user-defined class.
Note that tp_init is not safe.
I do have a (crashing) example for every changed line.
Is it worth adding them to the test suite?
Example:
class SpecialStr(str):
def __del__(self):
s.close()
import cStringIO
s = cStringIO.StringIO(SpecialStr("text"))
s.close() # Segfault

#1750076: Debugger did not step on every iteration of a while statement.
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.

Change r60575 broke test_compile:
there is no need to emit co_lnotab item when both offsets are zeros.

Unified naming convention for free lists and their limits. All free lists
in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` and the upper
limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an #ifndef block.
The chances should make it easier to adjust Python for platforms with
less memory, e.g. mobile phones.
