[New-bugs-announce] [issue3268] Cleanup of tp_basicsize inheritance

[Adam Olsen]

New submission from Adam Olsen <rhamph at gmail.com>:

inherit_special contains logic to inherit the base type's tp_basicsize
if the new type doesn't have it set.  The logic was spread over several
lines, but actually does almost nothing (presumably an artifact of
previous versions), so here's a patch to clean it up.

There was also an incorrect comment which I've removed.  A new one
should perhaps be added explaining what the other code there does, but
it's not affected by what I'm changing, and I'm not sure why it's doing
what it's doing anyway, so I'll leave that to someone else.
