New submission from Bradley Froehle: There is a reference leak when using PyType_FromSpec with custom tp_dealloc. This was first noted in issue #15142, where a fix was given which only applies to types which do not override tp_dealloc.
For example, the xxlimited.Xxo type suffers from this: Python 3.3.0 (default, Oct 26 2012, 11:06:17) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import xxlimited >>> import sys >>> Xxo = type(xxlimited.new()) >>> e = Xxo() >>> sys.getrefcount(Xxo) 7 >>> e = Xxo() >>> sys.getrefcount(Xxo) 8 >>> e = Xxo() >>> sys.getrefcount(Xxo) 9 ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 177527 nosy: bfroehle priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Reference leak with custom tp_dealloc in PyType_FromSpec type: resource usage versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16690> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
