The patch for stringobject.c is similar to patch for unicodeobject.c in issue10156, but more simpler.

And for bytesobject.c in 3.x.

This is mainly about Py_CLEAR(), right? The initializations to NULL should
be guaranteed by the C standard.

I don't sure.

Yes, it's guaranteed:

6.7.8 Initialization
--------------------

10) If an object that has automatic storage duration is not initialized
    explicitly, its value is indeterminate. If an object that has static
    storage duration is not initialized explicitly, then:

      - if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer;

      - if it has arithmetic type, it is initialized to (positive or unsigned)
        zero;

      - if it is an aggregate, every member is initialized (recursively)
        according to these rules;

      - if it is a union, the first named member is initialized (recursively)
        according to these rules.




I'm changing the title so that people don't get the impression that
anything is wrong with the initialization.

The Py_CLEAR() changes are fine of course.

Indeed.

Actually it is a part of issue16445 or issue16447. Now they will be a little smaller.
