Clear the following PyTypeObject members of builtin static types in
Py_Finalize():

  • tp_bases
  • tp_cache
  • tp_dict
  • tp_mro
  • tp_subclasses

Finalize static types initialized by _PyStaticTypes_Init() and
builtin exceptions initialized by _PyExc_Init().

Once a static type is finalized, it must no longer be used.
Use assert(!_PyStaticType_IsFinalized(type)); to ensure that static
type is not finalized.

With this change, Valgrind log:

possibly lost: 612,326 bytes in 5,503 blocks

becomes:

possibly lost: 369,346 bytes in 2,805 blocks"

Changes:

  • Rename _PyTypes_Init() to _PyStaticTypes_Init().
  • Move _PyExc_Fini() call inside finalize_interp_types().

I only published this PR to show what I attempted to do, but it doesn't work: https://bugs.python.org/issue1635741#msg371119
