[New-bugs-announce] [issue35259] Py_FinalizeEx unconditionally exists in Py_LIMITED_API

[Arthur Neufeld]

New submission from Arthur Neufeld <aneufeld at seinesoftware.ca>:

In application compiled with
  #define Py_LIMITED_API 0x03040000
this method was used
  Py_FinalizeEx()

Tested application with:
  SET PATH=...;C:\Program Files\Python35
  APPLICATION.EXE


Result:
  Entry Point Not Found

  (X)  The procedure entry point Py_FinalizeEx could not be located
       in the dynamic link library
       C:\PATH\TO\APPLICATION.EXE


Expected Result:
  Application runs


Rebuilding, after replacing Py_FinalizeEx(void) with Py_Finalize(void):
  Application runs when pointing to 3.5 DLLs.


Suggested resolution:
  Declaration should be restricted to ABI 3.6+:

#if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 >= 0x03060000
PyAPI_FUNC(int) Py_FinalizeEx(void);
#endif
