[New-bugs-announce] [issue20588] Code generated by asdl_c.py not C89-compliant

[Jeffrey Armstrong]

New submission from Jeffrey Armstrong:

The code within Python/Python-ast.c does not currently conform to C89 standard.  Within the function PyAST_obj2mod(), the array 'req_type' is initialized using runtime values, which is not allowed by the standard, causing building to fail on a C89 compiler.

This code is automatically generated by asdl_c.py.  I've attached a patch which corrects the problem.  Python/Python-ast.c will need to be regenerated if this patch is accepted.
