4259,Reference leak in boost::python::function::add_to_namespace(),Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa@…>,Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve,"In libs/python/src/object/function.cpp, there is an obvious reference leak:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/libs/python/src/object/function.cpp?rev=60625#L444

The first branch retrieves a borrowed reference, when the seconds gets  a new reference.  This is stored in a plain `PyObject*`, there is no magic in some destructor.  This code is likely to leak references.

I suggest to use `dict = PyObject_GetAttrString(ns, ""__dict__"")` in all cases, and add `Py_DECREF(dict)` when it is no more needed.",Patches,new,Boost 1.43.0,python USE GITHUB,Boost 1.44.0,Problem,,,
