[New-bugs-announce] [issue14325] Stop using the garbage collector to manage the lifetime of the getargs.c freelist

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <invalid at example.invalid>:

Allocating a Python list and a bunch of Capsules for each PyArg_ParseTuple call is expensive and unnecessarily complicated.

The freelist never escapes getargs.c (if it ever did, it would be a bug).  The same job can be accomplished with a normal C array.
