I'm not sure I meant that. But if I have a 3rd party extension that compiles with 3.5 headers using C89, then it should still compile with 3.6 headers using C99. Also if I compile it for 3.5 and it only uses the ABI it should still be linkable with 3.6. On Sun, Jun 5, 2016 at 7:42 PM, Sturla Molden <sturla.molden@gmail.com> wrote:

I share Guido's priority there - source compatibility is more important than smoothing a few of C's rough edges. Maybe the next breaking change release this should be considered (python 4000... python 5000?)
I was simply pointing out that Guido's priority removes a lot of the usefulness of C99 at source level. I was not saying I disagreed. If we have to keep header files clean of C99 I think this proposal just adds clutter.
