2025-07-24py/obj: Add new type flag to indicate subscr accepts slice-on-stack.Damien George
The recently merged 5e9189d6d1c00c92694888bf9c74276779c40716 now allows temporary slices to be allocated on the C stack, which is much better than allocating them on the GC heap. Unfortunately there are cases where the C-allocated slice can escape and be retained as an object, which leads to crashes (because that object points to the C stack which now has other values on it). The fix here is to add a new `MP_TYPE_FLAG_SUBSCR_ALLOWS_STACK_SLICE`. Native types should set this flag if their subscr method is guaranteed not to hold on to a reference of the slice object. Fixes issue #17733 (see also #17723). Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org>
