I propose to add destructors to transports and event loops which emit a ResourceWarning if they are not closed.

The change should help to detect resource leaks and bugs.

Attached patch implements this issue. It only adds destructors on Python 3.4 and later, because older Python versions don't implement the PEP 442 (Safe object finalization) and so objects part of reference cycle would never be deleted.

The patch adds a new _closed attribute to BaseSubprocessTransport and _SSLProtocolTransport classes, to track if the transport was closed or not.

The patch should help to find bugs like this one:

I fixed a lot of methods and tests to ensure that all event loops and transports are properly closed. These changes were required to prepare the integration of this change.

Many changed were real bug fixes: closing explicitly tranports on error avoids to leak resources.

Some ResourceWarning are still emited on SSL server tests.

> Some ResourceWarning are still emited on SSL server tests.

Attached server_close.patch is a work-in-process patch to fix this issue on Linux.

If I understood correctly, there are two issues:

- SelectorEventLoop._accept_connection() doesn't care of the creation of the transport failed
- SSLProtocol.eof_received() does not notify the waiter that EOF was received

So an application cannot control SSL incoming connections which fail during the handshake? Control: log errors, do something with the socket, etc.

> - SelectorEventLoop._accept_connection() doesn't care of the creation of the transport failed

Fixing this issue requires to change the design of asyncio, so I chose to open a new issue: issue #23333.

Ok, I commited my change adding destructors on Python 3.4 and newer to emit warnings when event loops or transports are not explicitly closed.
