[Tracker-discuss] [issue216] Using PyObject_New with Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC

[Duncan Webb]

New submission from Duncan Webb <duncan-bugs at linuxowl.com>:

I managed to use PyObject_New instead of PyObject_GC_New for an object that has
Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC set.

The problem is that the code was working in debug mode but was crashing in
release mode and it was very difficult to track the problem down.

Adding a check in the PyObject_New, PyObject_GC_New methods would have shown the
problem much earlier in devlopment.
