Ah, _Py_NewReference is used in the PyObject_INIT(op, typeobj) *macro*, right. IMO it's an issue with our public API: for the stable ABI, we should replace such macro with a function which hides implementation details. Example from pystate.h: #ifdef Py_BUILD_CORE PyAPI_DATA(_Py_atomic_address) _PyThreadState_Current; # define PyThreadState_GET() \ ((PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&_PyThreadState_Current)) #else # define PyThreadState_GET() PyThreadState_Get() #endif Ok, now why should _Py_PrintReferences() function be exported? This private function is only called from Py_FinalizeEx(). It is not used in a macro.
