[Python-Dev] another Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE question (original) (raw)

So where does the PyDECREF() for the above PyINCREF() live? I expected to find this code snippet somewhere, but couldn't:

if (type->tpflags & PyTPFLAGSHEAPTYPE) PyDECREF(type);

For a regular heaptype, it's in subtype_dealloc:

            /* Can't reference self beyond this point */
            Py_DECREF(type);

HTH, Martin
