[issue40217] The garbage collector doesn't take in account that objects of heap allocated types hold a strong reference to their type

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

It would be inconvenient to require adding Py_VISIT(Py_TYPE(self)) in all tp_visit implementations of heap allocated types (including third-party extensions). Since tp_visit is GC specific thing, I think it wold be more convenient make a special case for object types.
