bpo-9263: Dump Python object on GC assertion failure by vstinner · Pull Request #10062 · python/cpython

Changes:

* Add _PyObject_AssertFailed() function.
* Add _PyObject_ASSERT() and _PyObject_ASSERT_WITH_MSG() macros.
* gc_decref(): replace assert() with _PyObject_ASSERT_WITH_MSG() to
  dump the faulty object if the assertion fails.

_PyObject_AssertFailed() calls:

* _PyMem_DumpTraceback(): try to log the traceback where the object
  has been allocated using if tracemalloc is enabled
* _PyObject_Dump(): log repr(obj)
* Py_FatalError() which logs the current Python traceback

_PyObject_AssertFailed() uses _PyObject_IsFreed() heuristic to check
if the object memory has been freed by a debug hook on Python memory
allocators.
