Fix a bunch of python leaks due to missing calls to tp_free in *_dealloc functions.
valgrind reports leaks in many python tests, such as: ==17162== VALGRIND_GDB_ERROR_BEGIN ==17162== 8,208 (5,472 direct, 2,736 indirect) bytes in 57 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 7,551 of 7,679 ==17162== at 0x4835753: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:307) ==17162== by 0x6EAFD1: _PyObject_New (object.c:279) ==17162== by 0x4720E6: blpy_iter(_object*) (py-block.c:92) ==17162== by 0x698772: PyObject_GetIter (abstract.c:2577) ==17162== by 0x2343BE: _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault (ceval.c:3159) ==17162== by 0x22E9E2: function_code_fastcall (call.c:283) ==17162== by 0x2340A8: _PyObject_Vectorcall (abstract.h:127) ==17162== by 0x2340A8: call_function (ceval.c:4987) ==17162== by 0x2340A8: _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault (ceval.c:3486) ==17162== by 0x22E9E2: function_code_fastcall (call.c:283) ==17162== by 0x82172B: _PyObject_Vectorcall (abstract.h:127) ==17162== by 0x82172B: method_vectorcall (classobject.c:67) ==17162== by 0x6AF474: _PyObject_Vectorcall (abstract.h:127) ==17162== by 0x6AF474: _PyObject_CallNoArg (abstract.h:153) ==17162== by 0x6AF474: _PyObject_CallFunctionVa (call.c:914) ==17162== by 0x6B0673: callmethod (call.c:1010) ==17162== by 0x6B0673: _PyObject_CallMethod_SizeT (call.c:1103) ==17162== by 0x477DFE: gdb_PyObject_CallMethod<> (python-internal.h:182) ==17162== by 0x477DFE: get_py_iter_from_func(_object*, char const*) (py-framefilter.c:272) ==17162== by 0x4791B4: py_print_args (py-framefilter.c:706) ==17162== by 0x4791B4: py_print_frame(_object*, enum_flags<frame_filter_flag>, ext_lang_frame_args, ui_out*, int, htab*) (py-framefilter.c:960) ==17162== by 0x47A130: gdbpy_apply_frame_filter(extension_language_defn const*, frame_info*, enum_flags<frame_filter_flag>, ext_lang_frame_args, ui_out*, int, int) (py-framefilter.c:1236) ==17162== by 0x369C39: apply_ext_lang_frame_filter(frame_info*, enum_flags<frame_filter_flag>, ext_lang_frame_args, ui_out*, int, int) (extension.c:563) ==17162== by 0x4EC9C9: backtrace_command_1 (stack.c:2031) ==17162== by 0x4EC9C9: backtrace_command(char const*, int) (stack.c:2183) ... Most of the leaks in python tests are due to the fact that many PyObject xxxxx_dealloc functions are missing the line to free self or obj such as: Py_TYPE (self)->tp_free (self); or Py_TYPE (obj)->tp_free (obj); With this patch, the number of python tests leaking decreases from 52 to 12. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-11-18 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * python/py-block.c (blpy_dealloc): Call tp_free.
