This comment is mildly incorrect in that using gdbpy_ref<> inherently
implies a decref. Immortality of Python objects isn't really a concern
at the API level. It's an implementation detail of the Python
interpreter.
The rest of the patch seems ok to me. I'm not a huge fan of
immediately-evaluated lambdas but OTOH it's probably harmless here.
+ return gdbpy_ref<> ([] { Py_RETURN_FALSE; } ());

#endif /* GDB_PYTHON_PYTHON_INTERNAL_H */
Newline between the closing brace and the #endif please.
thanks,
Tom
