Well, currently pyconfig.h for 2.4 says:
...
#if _MSC_VER != 1200
#define HAVE_UINTPTR_T 1
#define HAVE_INTPTR_T 1
#endif
...
which is actually a pretty low bar to get over.
I'd like to change it to something like:
...
#if _MSC_VER > 1200
#define HAVE_UINTPTR_T 1
#define HAVE_INTPTR_T 1
#endif
...
#if GCC_VERSION >= 30100
#define HAVE_UINTPTR_T 1
#define HAVE_INTPTR_T 1
#endif
...
which is arguably better even if not good enough.
Is there a better test I can do at compile time?
