> Is introducing tp_clear on functions a thing that has ABI consequences? In > other words, if we take our time on this, would it land in 3.8.1 or 3.9.0? I think it should not have ABI consequences. However, I see the addition of tp_clear as a new feature. Leaking memory due to reference cycles is bad behavior but not a bug to be fixed in a maintenance release. Unless we require full GC protocol on every container object, we can't promise not to leak. Inaka's change to add func tp_clear has been in all the 3.8.0 pre-releases (I think). So, it should be pretty well exercised by now (at least, as well as the per-releases are tested). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
