[New-bugs-announce] [issue35810] Object Initialization Bug with Heap-allocated Types

[Eddie Elizondo]

New submission from Eddie Elizondo <eduardo.elizondorueda at gmail.com>:

Heap-allocated Types initializing instances through `PyObject_{,GC}_New{Var}` will *NOT* not have their refcnt increased. This was totally fine under the assumption that static types are immortal. However, heap-allocated types MUST participate in refcounting. Furthermore, their deallocation routine should also make sure to decrease their refcnt to provide the incref/decref pair.
