The tp_clear field of PyTypeObject has type inquiry. It is a pointer to a function that takes PyObject * and return int.

typedef int (*inquiry)(PyObject *);

I'm interesting what the result of this function means. In what cases it can return non-zero, and can it set an exception?

Currently tp_clear() is called in a single place, and its result is ignored. All tp_clear implementations in the stdlib always return 0.
