This object has a finalizer, so once it's no longer referenced, GC can call that finalizer and then deallocate the storage. In the case of a failure during construction (e.g., when checking `validate_obj_is_free_pin_or_none`) this will happen on an incompletely initialized structure. On samd, in particular, a newly allocated object (with construct never called) appears to be valid, so GC collecting it causes deinit() to do things, leading to a hard fault. The double creation of the UART object was necessary specifically so that the second allocation would fail. Probably there were other (single call) ways to make it fail, but this was the easiest / the one discovered in real life. Closes: #5493

This package contains the "stubs", or type definitions for CircuitPython. With some advanced editors and other tools, this information can be identify TypeErrors, AttributeErrors, and other problems before you deploy your code to a device and can even help autocomplete your code. .. |Build Status| image:: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/workflows/Build%20CI/badge.svg :target: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/actions?query=branch%3Amain .. |Doc Status| image:: https://readthedocs.org/projects/circuitpython/badge/?version=latest :target: http://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/ .. |Discord| image:: https://img.shields.io/discord/327254708534116352.svg :target: https://adafru.it/discord .. |License| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-brightgreen.svg :target: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/ .. |Weblate| image:: https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/circuitpython/-/svg-badge.svg :target: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/circuitpython/?utm_source=widget
