Sorry to bringing this up again. I was hoping we were done with that.

When discussing the name of the Py_SETREF macro I was supposed to add a
pair of macros: for Py_DECREF and Py_XDECREF. But I got a lot of
opinions to be limited to only one macro.

There was no (besides my) clearly expressed vote for two macros.

I would have voted in favor.

Spelling the SETREF out, as Nick proposes, kind of defies the purpose of
the macro: it's not strictly a convenience macro, it helps prevent
refcounting bugs.

As a result I have replaced both Py_DECREF and Py_XDECREF with the macro
that always uses Py_XDECREF.

Can you roughly say which fraction of replacements changed DECREF to an
implicit XDECREF?

Changesets c4e8751ce637, bc7c56a225de, 539ba7267701, b02d256b8827, 1118dfcbcc35. Rough estimation:

Py_DECREF - 62
Py_XDECREF - 57
Py_CLEAR - 46

Total statistic of using macros in current code:

Py_SETREF    174   2.5%
Py_CLEAR     781  11%
Py_XDECREF  1443  20.5%
Py_DECREF   4631  66%
