[3.12] gh-109496: Detect Py_DECREF() after dealloc in debug mode (GH-109539) (#109545)
gh-109496: Detect Py_DECREF() after dealloc in debug mode (GH-109539) On a Python built in debug mode, Py_DECREF() now calls _Py_NegativeRefcount() if the object is a dangling pointer to deallocated memory: memory filled with 0xDD "dead byte" by the debug hook on memory allocators. The fix is to check the reference count *before* checking for _Py_IsImmortal(). Add test_decref_freed_object() to test_capi.test_misc.
