Bug ID: 16035
Summary: gdb objects should hold strong reference to python
wrappers
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: python
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com

If a Python object wraps some gdb object, and the gdb object
has a back-link to the Python object, then this back-link
ought to be a strong reference that is freed only when the
underlying gdb object is freed.

One incorrect one is py-inferior.c; Doug sent a patch for this.

The other types need auditing as well though.

This is true for everything now, I believe.
