参照カウント
************

このセクションにある関数とマクロは、 Python オブジェクトの参照カウント
の管理に使用されます。

Py_ssize_t Py_REFCNT(PyObject *o)

   Python オブジェクト *o* の参照カウントを取得します。

   Note that the returned value may not actually reflect how many
   references to the object are actually held.  For example, some
   objects are "immortal" and have a very high refcount that does not
   reflect the actual number of references.  Consequently, do not rely
   on the returned value to be accurate, other than a value of 0 or 1.

   オブジェクトの参照カウントを設定するためには、 "Py_SET_REFCNT()" 関
   数を使用してください。

   バージョン 3.10 で変更: "Py_REFCNT()" は static なインライン関数に
   変更されました。

   バージョン 3.11 で変更: 引数の型は const PyObject* ではなくなりまし
   た。

void Py_SET_REFCNT(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t refcnt)

   オブジェクト *o* の参照カウントを *refcnt* に設定します。

   Note that this function has no effect on immortal objects.

   Added in version 3.9.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: 永続オブジェクトは変更されません。

void Py_INCREF(PyObject *o)

   オブジェクト *o* への新しい *強参照* を取得し、それが使用中で破棄さ
   れてはならないことを示します。

   This function is usually used to convert a *borrowed reference* to
   a *strong reference* in-place. The "Py_NewRef()" function can be
   used to create a new *strong reference*.

   When done using the object, release it by calling "Py_DECREF()".

   オブジェクトが "NULL" であってはいけません。それが "NULL" ではない
   と確信が持てないならば、 "Py_XINCREF()" を使ってください。

   Do not expect this function to actually modify *o* in any way. For
   at least **some objects**, this function has no effect.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: 永続オブジェクトは変更されません。

void Py_XINCREF(PyObject *o)

   Similar to "Py_INCREF()", but the object *o* can be "NULL", in
   which case this has no effect.

   See also "Py_XNewRef()".

PyObject *Py_NewRef(PyObject *o)
    * 次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).*

   Create a new *strong reference* to an object: call "Py_INCREF()" on
   *o* and return the object *o*.

   When the *strong reference* is no longer needed, "Py_DECREF()"
   should be called on it to release the reference.

   The object *o* must not be "NULL"; use "Py_XNewRef()" if *o* can be
   "NULL".

   例えば:

      Py_INCREF(obj);
      self->attr = obj;

   can be written as:

      self->attr = Py_NewRef(obj);

   See also "Py_INCREF()".

   Added in version 3.10.

PyObject *Py_XNewRef(PyObject *o)
    * 次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).*

   Similar to "Py_NewRef()", but the object *o* can be NULL.

   If the object *o* is "NULL", the function just returns "NULL".

   Added in version 3.10.

void Py_DECREF(PyObject *o)

   Release a *strong reference* to object *o*, indicating the
   reference is no longer used.

   Once the last *strong reference* is released (i.e. the object's
   reference count reaches 0), the object's type's deallocation
   function (which must not be "NULL") is invoked.

   This function is usually used to delete a *strong reference* before
   exiting its scope.

   オブジェクトが "NULL" であってはいけません。それが "NULL" ではない
   と確信が持てないならば、 "Py_XDECREF()" を使ってください。

   Do not expect this function to actually modify *o* in any way. For
   at least **some objects**, this function has no effect.

   警告:

     The deallocation function can cause arbitrary Python code to be
     invoked (e.g. when a class instance with a "__del__()" method is
     deallocated).  While exceptions in such code are not propagated,
     the executed code has free access to all Python global variables.
     This means that any object that is reachable from a global
     variable should be in a consistent state before "Py_DECREF()" is
     invoked.  For example, code to delete an object from a list
     should copy a reference to the deleted object in a temporary
     variable, update the list data structure, and then call
     "Py_DECREF()" for the temporary variable.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: 永続オブジェクトは変更されません。

void Py_XDECREF(PyObject *o)

   Similar to "Py_DECREF()", but the object *o* can be "NULL", in
   which case this has no effect. The same warning from "Py_DECREF()"
   applies here as well.

void Py_CLEAR(PyObject *o)

   Release a *strong reference* for object *o*. The object may be
   "NULL", in which case the macro has no effect; otherwise the effect
   is the same as for "Py_DECREF()", except that the argument is also
   set to "NULL".  The warning for "Py_DECREF()" does not apply with
   respect to the object passed because the macro carefully uses a
   temporary variable and sets the argument to "NULL" before releasing
   the reference.

   It is a good idea to use this macro whenever releasing a reference
   to an object that might be traversed during garbage collection.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: The macro argument is now only evaluated
   once. If the argument has side effects, these are no longer
   duplicated.

void Py_IncRef(PyObject *o)
    * 次に属します: Stable ABI.*

   Indicate taking a new *strong reference* to object *o*. A function
   version of "Py_XINCREF()". It can be used for runtime dynamic
   embedding of Python.

void Py_DecRef(PyObject *o)
    * 次に属します: Stable ABI.*

   Release a *strong reference* to object *o*. A function version of
   "Py_XDECREF()". It can be used for runtime dynamic embedding of
   Python.

Py_SETREF(dst, src)

   Macro safely releasing a *strong reference* to object *dst* and
   setting *dst* to *src*.

   As in case of "Py_CLEAR()", "the obvious" code can be deadly:

      Py_DECREF(dst);
      dst = src;

   The safe way is:

      Py_SETREF(dst, src);

   That arranges to set *dst* to *src* _before_ releasing the
   reference to the old value of *dst*, so that any code triggered as
   a side-effect of *dst* getting torn down no longer believes *dst*
   points to a valid object.

   Added in version 3.6.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: The macro arguments are now only evaluated
   once. If an argument has side effects, these are no longer
   duplicated.

Py_XSETREF(dst, src)

   Variant of "Py_SETREF" macro that uses "Py_XDECREF()" instead of
   "Py_DECREF()".

   Added in version 3.6.

   バージョン 3.12 で変更: The macro arguments are now only evaluated
   once. If an argument has side effects, these are no longer
   duplicated.
