    Assuming that bpo-45256 is implemented, we will need to document it.

    I'm opening a separate issue, so this doesn't get lost in the midst of 45256.

    We need to:

    Document the changes to gdb. Possibly at https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb, or in the main docs.

    Add a "what's new" entry explaining what the impact of this change is.

    I will prepare a PR to also document the gdb helpers in the main docs. The wiki is insuficient.

    I don't think this needs to block the alpha release

    What's New in Python 3.11 now says:

    Most Python function calls now consume no C stack space.

    https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.11.html#inlined-python-function-calls

    Can this issue be claused?

    @pablogsal:

    It seems like this part was not done yet.

    By the way, having a documentation about debugging Python in gdb would be great. I can help writing it if you want!

    ⚠️ This issue has been updated from 'deferred-blocker' to 'release blocker' as we are past beta1. This issue will block the next release (Python 3.11.0 beta 2). ⚠️

    I have something prepared but I still need time to do a PR :)

    This is still marked a deferred blocker. @pablogsal are you planning on writing new GDB docs, and should those docs block any release?

    @pablogsal, if you share the draft, in whatever state it is, I can finish it.
