Fix Memory Leak Caused By Wrong Limited API Default
When a type has nullptr as tp_dealloc, there apply different defaults. Static types had object_dealloc as default, while new heaptypes created with type_new have subtype_dealloc as default. A problem was now that PyType_FromSpec also has subtype_dealloc as default. But that is wrong, because a type that was written with the static type approach is already written with object_dealloc in mind and takes somehow care about further issues with that type. When we now convert this type and suddenly use subtype_dealloc instead of object_dealloc, things get pretty wrong. Finding that out was pretty hard and took quite long to understand. The fix was then very easy and is the best proof: Replacing our former (wrong) solution of supplying an SbkDummyDealloc with a function object_dealloc works perfectly, and the leakage completely vanished. The documentation now is also corrected. Task-number: PYSIDE-832 Change-Id: Ifc20c28172eb5663cd5e60dac52e0a43acfb626c Reviewed-by: Friedemann Kleint <Friedemann.Kleint@qt.io>
