Window procedure overwrite lead to crashes without error when too much instances are created

I’m making an App that uses SDL / Pygame for displaying graphics. I’ve overwritten the window procedure in case of resizing to trigger a function and makes the app run smoother (cf this answer).

However I’ve noticed when reaching a certain amount of instances of a class, it crashes the app without any error in the logs. I’ve checked Windows logs but could not find anything. I’ve found te culprit is the the window procedure overwritte.

Find below a simulation of the issue :

• The function windows_resize_procedure (inspired from this answer trigger App.resize and App.draw when the user resizes the window
• [Element() for _ in range(1000)] creates artificially high number of instances of Element. In my real program I have ~50 of them only, but I consider them "bigger" (more attributes and methods). A 1000 is enough to crash the program in a few seconds on my computer, but you might want to increase this number depending on yours.
