stored in a traceback of a trace. Use ``-X tracemalloc=NFRAME`` to start
tracing with a traceback limit of *NFRAME* frames. See the
:func:`tracemalloc.start` for more information.
+ * ``-X showalloccount`` to enable the output of the total count of allocated
+ objects for each type (only works when built with ``COUNT_ALLOCS`` defined);
It also allows passing arbitrary values and retrieving them through the
:data:`sys._xoptions` dictionary.

The ``-X showrefcount`` and ``-X tracemalloc`` options.

+Changes in 'python' Command Behavior
+------------------------------------
+
+* The output of a special Python build with defined ``COUNT_ALLOCS``,
+ ``SHOW_ALLOC_COUNT`` or ``SHOW_TRACK_COUNT`` macros is now off by
+ default. It can be re-enabled using the ``-X showalloccount`` option.
+ It now outputs to ``stderr`` instead of ``stdout``.

+- Issue #23034: The output of a special Python build with defined COUNT_ALLOCS,
+ SHOW_ALLOC_COUNT or SHOW_TRACK_COUNT macros is now off by default. It can
+ be re-enabled using the "-X showalloccount" option. It now outputs to stderr
+ instead of stdout.

- Issue #27443: __length_hint__() of bytearray itearator no longer return
negative integer for resized bytearray.
