[New-bugs-announce] [issue44874] Deprecate Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN/END

[Irit Katriel]

New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at gmail.com>:

The old trashcan macros - Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN/END are unsafe (see Issue40608).

They were removed from the limited C API in 3.9: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/whatsnew/3.9.rst#removed-1

They should be removed altogether, in favour of Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN/END. Since they are not documented, I think this would be done by changing the comment before their definition in Include/cpython/object.h.
