Aah, thanks for pointing this out. As a quick side note: are these cool
regrtest features documented anywhere? I remember seeing some mention of
the -R 3:3 argument in the dev guide but nothing else.
Probably useful to have this documented somewhere in the dev guide.

C extensions "should" use PyMem_Malloc/PyMem_Free to benefit of PEP
445 hooks like debug hooks and tracemalloc.
* Debug hooks (enabled by -X dev) helps to debug buffer overflow:

* tracemalloc: https://docs.python.org/dev/library

Not really, we check also memory blocks:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/libregrtest/refleak.py#L72
as long as you don't directly call malloc and use one of the Python
specific APIs like PyMem_Malloc
then the reflect code should catc

I think this part specifically is already covered through refleak
checks:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/libregrtest/refleak.py
Since it can involve the repetition of tests many times, these aren't
run on the CI though, they do get run on
