C extensions written for Python 3.10 and older which access directly to the PyFrameObject.f_back member build successfully on Python 3.11, but they can fail because f_back must not be read directly. f_back can be NULL even if the frame has an outer frame.
PyFrameObject*
PyFrame_GetBack(PyFrameObject *frame)
{
assert(frame != NULL);
PyFrameObject *back = frame->f_back;
if (back == NULL && frame->f_frame->previous != NULL) {
back = _PyFrame_GetFrameObject(frame->f_frame->previous);
}
Py_XINCREF(back);
return back;
}
I suggest to remove or "hide" this member from the structure. For example, rename "f_back" to "_f_back" to advice developers to not access it directly.
