Hi
I would like to be able to get an handle on PyGC_Head*_PyGC_generation0 from a
CPython extension.
This is possible when building Python on a Posix host, but not on Windows
because of a missing PyAPI_DATA wrapping of the said object in the objimpl.h
header.
Having the possibility to inspect the PyGC_Head here can be very useful when
customizing the way a garbage-collectable object created from CPython extension
would be cleaned/inspected, etc.
Any chance this patch could be added to get the same capabilities on Windows
and Posix platforms ?
Thanks for your feedback,
Eloi
