[issue33712] OrderedDict can set an exception in tp_clear

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at redhat.com> added the comment:

> The tp_clear handler of OrderedDict can set an exception when fail to allocate a nodes cache for an empty dict. An exception in tp_clear is not expected and caused a crash in the garbage collector.

If it's a cache, it would be better to cancel the caching, and just destroy the dictionary, no?
