test_cext now discovers and calls all "test" functions. On a debug build, it also checks for reference leaks.

Fix a reference leak in test_virtual_object(): use a dealloc function which calls Py_DECREF() on the type, and trigger an explicit garbage collection.

  • Issue: Py_CLEAR/Py_SETREF() regression on the main branch with C++: SEGV with simple numpy program #157649

Sorry, something went wrong.
