<p>Python&#8217;s support for detecting and collecting garbage which involves circular
references requires support from object types which are &#8220;containers&#8221; for other
objects which may also be containers.  Types which do not store references to
other objects, or which only store references to atomic types (such as numbers
or strings), do not need to provide any explicit support for garbage
collection.</p>
<p>To create a container type, the <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_flags</span></tt> field of the type object must
include the <a class="reference internal" href="typeobj.html#Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC" title="Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC"><tt class="xref py py-const docutils literal"><span class="pre">Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC</span></tt></a> and provide an implementation of the
<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_traverse</span></tt> handler.  If instances of the type are mutable, a
<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_clear</span></tt> implementation must also be provided.</p>
<dl class="data">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC</tt></dt>
<dd><p>Objects with a type with this flag set must conform with the rules
documented here.  For convenience these objects will be referred to as
container objects.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>Constructors for container types must conform to two rules:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>The memory for the object must be allocated using <a class="reference internal" href="#PyObject_GC_New" title="PyObject_GC_New"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyObject_GC_New()</span></tt></a>
or <a class="reference internal" href="#PyObject_GC_NewVar" title="PyObject_GC_NewVar"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyObject_GC_NewVar()</span></tt></a>.</li>
<li>Once all the fields which may contain references to other containers are
initialized, it must call <a class="reference internal" href="#PyObject_GC_Track" title="PyObject_GC_Track"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyObject_GC_Track()</span></tt></a>.</li>

(<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_dealloc</span></tt> handler) should call this for the object before any of
the fields used by the <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_traverse</span></tt> handler become invalid.</p>

<p>The <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_traverse</span></tt> handler accepts a function parameter of this type:</p>

visitor functions.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>The <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_traverse</span></tt> handler must have the following type:</p>

parameters to <em>visit</em> being the contained object and the <em>arg</em> value passed
to the handler.  The <em>visit</em> function must not be called with a <em>NULL</em>
object argument.  If <em>visit</em> returns a non-zero value that value should be
returned immediately.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>To simplify writing <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">tp_traverse</span></tt> handlers, a <a class="reference internal" href="#Py_VISIT" title="Py_VISIT"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Py_VISIT()</span></tt></a> macro is
