OK, there's no leaking memory here, but there is a leaking refcount: the
refcount on the int 0 keeps going up. The compiler has leaked references to
little integers before, but offhand I don't recall the details.
----- old stuff -----
OK, *this* program leaks a reference each time around; probably a missing
decref in the compiler:
source = """\
def conjoin(gs):
def gen():
gs # unbreakable cycle
gen # unless one is commented out
"""
def one():
exec source in {}
import sys, gc
lastrc = 0
while 1:
one()
gc.collect()
thisrc = sys.gettotalrefcount()
print thisrc - lastrc,
lastrc = thisrc
