Likewise. Anything with "try" in the name needs to be carefully documented.

Can't this fail? It should probably return an int indicating success/failure/error.

It doesn't have to be in this PR, but we should replace all usages of _PyObject_GetMethod with _PyObject_GetMethodStackRef. Having two similar functions for the same purpose is going to be more difficult to maintain.

It's confusing that descr_st and *method refer to the same data, and both are used below. I think it would be more clear if we avoid the aliasing and stick to *method.

descrgetfunc f = NULL;
if (!PyStackRef_IsNull(descr_st)) {
if (_PyType_HasFeature(PyStackRef_TYPE(descr_st), Py_TPFLAGS_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR)) {
meth_found = 1;
} else {
f = PyStackRef_TYPE(descr_st)->tp_descr_get;
if (f != NULL && PyDescr_IsData(PyStackRef_AsPyObjectBorrow(descr_st))) {
PyObject *call_res_o = f(PyStackRef_AsPyObjectBorrow(descr_st), obj, (PyObject *)Py_TYPE(obj));
if (call_res_o != NULL) {
*method = PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal(call_res_o);
}
else {

This overwrites *method, but not descr_st, so descr_st may store a stack reference that's not visible to the GC. That seems fragile and potentially a problem.

We want to restore *method to descr_st after this in some cases (see below). I guess the safe thing would be to convert it to a strong ref?

I don't think you need both *method and descr_st if you refactor these function.

Alternatively take in a second _PyStackRef * to store the temporary values in a place that is visible to the GC.

I think the second approach needs to wait for @mpage 's PR on adding an extra stack slot?

Oh we don't, we can use self_or_null.

Ok nevermind, this does indeed need Matt's fix. Because we unconditionally write to self_or_null now.
