Subject: [PATCH 00/10] Mildly better refcount safety for Python
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 14:03:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220-python-safety-minor-v1-0-4c4b12e445af@adacore.com> (raw)
This series converts a number of gdb-to-Python converion functions to
return a gdbpy_ref<> rather than returning a PyObject* and then simply
documenting that a new reference is returned.
The hope is that this will make refcount mistakes less likely.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 43.
