> The final call to the (generic) tp_free calls PyObject_GC_Untrack iff
the GC flags are set in the type flags. If the base class is not GC
tracked then its dealloc method won't touch these bits.
Sorry to insist a little bit, but while looking at the trashcan stuff, I
thought again about it and in fact what I was worried about was rather the
converse.
If the base type does not have the GC_FLAG, and youve retracked it in the
subclass, then final tp_free will indeed not touch anything related to gc,
but won't that leave an invalid object in the gc tracked object list?
In particular won't a call to gc_list_remove(o) be missing?
