about truly wrong code.
Checkin comment from 51262:
Can't return NULL from a void function. If there is a memory error,
about the best we can do is call PyErr_WriteUnraisable and go on.
We won't be able to do the call below either, so verify delstr is valid.
Handle a whole lot of failures from PyString_FromInternedString().
Should fix most of Klocwork 234-272.

Move initialization of interned strings to before allocating the
object so we don't leak op. (Fixes an earlier patch to this code)

the case of __del__ resurrecting an object.
This makes the apparent reference leaks in test_descr go away (which I
expected) and also kills off those in test_gc (which is more surprising
but less so once you actually think about it a bit).
by the function object or by the method object, the function
object's attribute usually wins. Christian Tismer pointed out that
that this is really a mistake, because this only happens for special
methods (like __reduce__) where the method object's version is
really more appropriate than the function's attribute. So from now
on, all method attributes will have precedence over function
attributes with the same name.

for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a

interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other

classobject.c, instance_dealloc(): One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't. The special-build code here is way too
complicated. Now it's much simpler. Difference: in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method. Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.
typeobject.c, call_finalizer(): The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too. In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point. I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code. Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked. Caution: I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.
