Fix memory leak in pyopencv_to for path-like objects #28047 This PR fixes a memory leak in pyopencv_to when handling path-like objects (e.g., pathlib.Path). Problem: PyOS_FSPath() returns a new strong reference, but the code was not calling Py_XDECREF to decrement it, causing a memory leak on every call with path-like arguments. Solution: Store the returned reference from PyOS_FSPath() in a separate variable path_obj Call Py_XDECREF(path_obj) on all function exit paths (both success and error paths) This ensures proper reference counting without changing the function's behavior Testing: The leak can be reproduced using the steps in issue #28046 with Python built with --with-address-sanitizer. This fix ensures the reference is properly released.
