It is a good idea to use this macro whenever decrementing the reference
count of an object that might be traversed during garbage collection.
+.. c:function:: void Py_IncRef(PyObject *o)
+
+ Increment the reference count for object *o*. A function version of :c:func:`Py_XINCREF`.
+ It can be used for runtime dynamic embedding of Python.
+

+.. c:function:: void Py_DecRef(PyObject *o)
+
+ Decrement the reference count for object *o*. A function version of :c:func:`Py_XDECREF`.
+ It can be used for runtime dynamic embedding of Python.
-The following functions are for runtime dynamic embedding of Python:
-``Py_IncRef(PyObject *o)``, ``Py_DecRef(PyObject *o)``. They are
-simply exported function versions of :c:func:`Py_XINCREF` and
-:c:func:`Py_XDECREF`, respectively.
The following functions or macros are only for use within the interpreter core:
:c:func:`_Py_Dealloc`, :c:func:`_Py_ForgetReference`, :c:func:`_Py_NewReference`,
