I would prefer to make Py_INCREF() opaque for Python 3.9 and older, but we cannot magically add _Py_IncRef() to old Python versions :-(

Hm, I found Py_LIMITED_API=0x03060000 in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/PCbuild/xxlimited_35.vcxproj#L97.
I am not sure which one is right.

The module name says "35": Python 3.5. See the C file header:
/* This module is compiled using limited API from Python 3.5,
* making sure that it works as expected.
*
* See the xxlimited module for an extension module template.
*/

Well, that's a good reason to put the define into the C file directly, rather than putting it in the recipe to build the file :-D
The limited C API is now supported if Python is built in debug mode (if the Py_DEBUG macro is defined). In the limited C API, the Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque function calls, rather than accessing directly the PyObject.ob_refcnt member, if Python is built in debug mode and the Py_LIMITED_API macro targets Python 3.10 or newer. It became possible to support the limited C API in debug mode because the PyObject structure is the same in release and debug mode since Python 3.8 (see bpo-36465). The limited C API is still not supported in the --with-trace-refs special build (Py_TRACE_REFS macro).

I re-run the CI jobs. |
