Neil Hodgson: I think it is unlikely that such a large patch and resulting C++ compatibility policy will be accepted.
Paul Svensson:
The Pythin sorces are written in C; that they fail to compile when usung a compiler for a different language is a feature, not a bug.
of course :-)
however, most of the changes are good coding practice in any case.
the rest are outright inconsistencies in the python source and ought to be fixed -
for instance, the macros 'PyMODINIT_FUNC' and 'staticforward' are *not* used with consistency
Isn't staticforward a work around for broken compilers? I'm not sure how much brokeness in the compiler we want to live with. Cheers, mwh -- M-x psych[TAB][RETURN] -- try it
