This exposes `PyUnstable_Object_ClearWeakRefsNoCallbacks` as an unstable C-API function to provide a thread-safe mechanism for clearing weakrefs without executing callbacks. Some C-API extensions need to clear weakrefs without calling callbacks, such as after running finalizers like we do in subtype_dealloc. Previously they could use `_PyWeakref_ClearRef` on each weakref, but that's not thread-safe in the free-threaded build. Co-authored-by: Petr Viktorin <encukou@gmail.com>
Tests in this directory are compiled into the _testcapi extension. The main file for the extension is Modules/_testcapimodule.c, which calls `_PyTestCapi_Init_*` from these functions. General guideline when writing test code for C API. * Use Argument Clinic to minimise the amount of boilerplate code. * Add a newline between the argument spec and the docstring. * If a test description is needed, make sure the added docstring clearly and succinctly describes purpose of the function. * DRY, use the clone feature of Argument Clinic. * Try to avoid adding new interned strings; reuse existing parameter names if possible. Use the `as` feature of Argument Clinic to override the C variable name, if needed.
