Subject: [PATCH v2 15/16] perf python: Fix memory leak in pyrf__metrics_cb
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 22:15:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624051535.3584977-17-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624051535.3584977-1-irogers@google.com>
In pyrf__metrics_cb, PyDict_SetItem does not steal the reference of the
key and value, so they need to be decref'ed after successful insertion
to avoid memory leaks.
