gh-125859: Fix crash when gc.get_objects is called during GC#125882
Merged
Conversation
This fixes a crash when `gc.get_objects()` or `gc.get_referrers()` is called during a GC in the free threading build. Switch to `_PyObjectStack` to avoid corrupting the `struct worklist` linked list maintained by the GC. Also, don't return objects that are frozen (gc.freeze) or in the process of being collected to more closely match the behavior of the default build.
