Bug report

Bug description:

Hi,

I am unsure if this intentional or not so apologies if this turns out not to be a bug.

The code for_Py_RefcntAdd does not include_Py_INCREF_STAT_INC. This appears to mean the statistics do not track these additions to the reference count, which are increments (although not increments by1, they are increasing the ref count in a single operation).

I believe this may be an oversight because this stat should be tracked, and also because the corresponding decrement ref count code does call_Py_DECREF_STAT_INC (e.g.

I have checked the callers of_Py_RefcntAdd (inlistobject.c andtupleobject.c) and they do not separately perform the stats tracking.

Is this an issue or is there a reason this ref count increment is excluded?

Thanks,
Ed
