[New-bugs-announce] [issue33418] Memory leaks in functions

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer <J.Demeyer at UGent.be>:

This is a memory leak:

>>> while True:
...    def f(): pass
...    f.__doc__ = f

This also:

>>> while True:
...     f = [].append                                                                                                                                                   
...     f.__module__ = f

This is because the classes "function" and "builtin_function_or_method" do not implement tp_clear.
