Alas, this doesn't make gcc happy either. (I'm trying gcc 3.4.4.) In
theory, it prevents the const-bypassing trick showed by Martin, but
apparently the C standard (or gcc) is not smart enough to realize that.
I don't see a way to spell it in C so that the same extension module
compiles with 2.4 and 2.5 without a warning, short of icky macros.
A bientot,
Armin
